“Working on a cruise ship must be amazing!” – they said.


Life as a crew member sounds like an adventure – but in reality, it’s usually a grind. The days are long, the pace is hectic, and free time is a rare commodity. Most employees sleep in shared cabins without windows, with hardly any room to turn around – let alone relax.

Seeing the world at the company’s expense sounds tempting, but you also get homesickness, constant stress, and little sleep for free. Dream job? Only if you believe Instagram.
