    Working at cruise ships, advice?
    Anyone have any exp on this???

    Im tired of the monotone CS gig... hate talking over the phone

    And figured the traveling and pussy alone is worth the shot... i love the sea as well, I drink like a sailor


    I personally have skill with cards, but I wouldnt like to be a dealer... feel like bartender is more my alley...

    Any other positions worth considering?

          I know a couple to definitely avoid, particularly if you have a lot of euro's as fellow cruise ship workers:

          1. double anal (tradin' paint with a promiscuous and, in all likelihood, fully bisexual german or scandanavian is a good way to wind up pissin' razor blades til you get back to miami.... worst case, ur readin' up on how magic johnson has managed to live so long)

          2. double vaginal: rubbin heads with a nasty uncircumscized euro-kahk is just, well, plain f'n nasty.... schmega stinks.... it makes pussies stink....

          3. triple anal: read double anal above

              all you gotta do is make eye contact and it's on, eh, Flaxen-throated-Boy?




              no wonder your eyes were constantly moving in that video; searching for a 3-5 minute mate...........

                Stay off mobile phones!

                My neighbour's daughter worked on a cruise ship as a singer/dancer. She ended up spending more than she was paid. Her mobile phone bill was off the chart.

                      I just did a post on this. Worked two 5-month contracts on an American-flagged ship, which was key, because they had to pay real wage as opposed to international-flagged ships, which can pay 3rd world wages. Doesn't really matter if you're tipped though, it's just a nice bonus.

                      Main reason is because like it was already said, you'll be working insane hours (so time and a half will always apply). They got you there, they know you have nothing else to go do, so they're gonna use you.

                      Now there's a big difference between performers and regular workers. Performers had it fukking made. 20-30 hrs a week, nicer cabins, good money. Workers could put in as much as 100 hrs a week, and you're sharing a tiny cabin with 2 smelly cooks and a smelly dishwasher.

                      The shore time is great (when you get it), and the poon is definitely a plus (when you're not too tired to hit it).

                      If you have the time, there's no reason not to give it a try. Worst case scenario, you'll get to see places and meet people you would never have otherwise. That part alone is totally worth it.

                              What were your duties? What are the possibilities?

                              Im thinking I can score something bartending or dealing cards?

                              Are the tips good? Do they force you to perform tasks non required by your job description?

                              Someone said 16hr shifts? Is that so? Is "free time" not respected?

                              Is the poon tang as easy as they describe? Can you party on free time and not frowned upon?

                              Drug policies? (Im an avid 420 enthusiast)...

                                I was not actually employed by the cruise lines, They contracted me to install and maintain bakery equipment. This means that I stayed on the passenger side of the ship which is MUCH nicer. I had access to the entire ship but had a private cabin WITH CARPET!

                                It’s tough work, I worked on ships long enough to know the ins and outs plus I met my wife on the Grand Princess somewhere in the Caribbean, she was a dancer.

                                Yes, the hours are long and may be 6-7 days/week for the entirety of the contract. In general, bartenders have it pretty good. There is a strict no tolerance for drugs as well as no socialization game with passengers, meaning you don’t spend free time with them. Drugs will be readily available but I’ve seen boat hands booted for it.

                                There is a pool at the front of most ships just for staff, there is also generally a small nightclub tucked away at the end of some random hall for the staff to use. Ralphie is correct, the poon is non stop. Thinking back on my time spent on the ships what sticks out was the ultra-risqué parties in the night club.

                                As for pay, I’m just guessing but I would say $3000/month. I negotiated my contract before setting sail and was paid well. In general most don’t speak of their rate of pay.

                                It’s hard work, you’ll be in a shitty cabin, possibly without carpet with 2-3 other dudes. Privacy is sparse

                                I can’t really say if it’s worth it or not because my experience was so much more different than regular staffers. It seemed like a lot hard work but there was also a lot of fun

                                I have a lot of great memories from time aboard. Still to this date I can login as a corporate affiliate and get steep discounts

                                    Krak, kinda confused... so you say socializing with passengers is a no-no... so how that works? how do you sleep w many broads without getting pegged? and sharing room with 3 fukks... JFC pass... thats shitty

                                    so these broads invited you to their room in a very low profile fashion? how that work?

                                    do they drug test often and randomly???

                                    just curious at this point... sharing room with 1 dude is odd enough... 2-3 fukks? pass

                                      Generally the poon is the other staff. I’ve known people to cross the lines and sleep with passengers but you’re gone if they catch ya.

                                      Depending on your position, you might only share with 1 guy up front, or even get lucky and score a private on a newer ship if you’re staff, not a crew member though.

                                      Reach out to a local recruiter, see what they have to say

                                      Drug tests are random and it’s an ongoing condition of employment set by the international maritime organization. You’ve gotta be ready 24/7 for an emergency. Maybe get tested every few months

                                            Drug tests are random and it’s an ongoing condition of employment set by the international maritime organization. You’ve gotta be ready 24/7 for an emergency. Maybe get tested every few months
                                            that cruise my wife and I took out of miami saddled us with a dude like me, ie, obsessed with my wife.... certain men, me included, are just totally smitten with her upon seeing her, and Ramon, our cabin boy was....

                                            he was always right there when I left to go play poker, and freaked her out by being right at the door several times as she was leavng after he'd seen me leave.... Pretty sure he had one of those things that lets you see thru the peephole from the outside....

                                            I thought it was cute, as did the wife....

                                            I finally let him walk in while the ol snake was out of its cage..... dude about shit and fell over a suitcase..... he kinda got the message at that point, but still creeped her from afar the rest of the trip.....

                                            as for three duded in a room, sound like a jj gold/bobby waves/ttwarrior paradise.....

                                            these guys wouldn't mind the accommodations at all:

                                                some of the trophy wives in the htown swinger crowd used to go on more adult oriented cruises, but they said the damn things are so big geneerally speaking, there are always non lifestyle people on them....

                                                pretty much need to rent one of those bad ass yachts like those docked all around Atlantis in the bahamas and let it rip with all babes in the lifestyle.... share the blow, but not your viagra, and you'll get an inordinate amount of pussy, as the blow will keep em soft and absent some help, they'll be sidelined.....

                                                htown swinger groups used to book cruises on royal carribbean, and did what they do, but they coulndt get as wild as they do at Hedo, for example.... a total swinger's resort

                                                  wow donker you have been around... like 1 dude said if you have done 1/4 of what you say you are pretty much fukkin winning

                                                  but yeah you sound like you are the real deal... cant say ive met someone so sexually daring on a gambling forum man

                                                  props to you!

                                                  were you always this successful with chicks or did it grow exponentially with experience???

                                                  I can say Ive had my fair share of mattress lunacy... and public sex lol especially when I was playing clubs as a DJ and singing with my band... women just throw themselves at you.......

                                                  that said, at 31... I feel the best is yet to come... like 35-50 is where the dudes get all the young chicks again, chicks love a silverfox.

                                                    my best friends say I should right a book... been shot twice, stabbed, banged porn stars, been gangbanged by mollied up trophy wives, had a harem of 20-30 women in htown once divorced, have probaby been filmed by over a hundred cucks, once laid back on a bed arms bent up at the elbows, with a blonde riding one fist down to mid forearm, my gfren brunette riding the other fist down to mid forearm, as they faced each other making out, rubbing their ample racks together..... I can still see those nipples glistening....

                                                    shit, there's no need to make shit up.... I don't even think I've shared more than a quarter of my best stories with the forum.....

                                                    tho the double fister, as I call it, was and is still at the top of the list....

                                                    fuk it, you can't wear a costume like this, wearing a rubber f'n fist around your neck, a cheap sombero, and a mexican blanket tied around your neck as a cape, and that dumb tshirt, to a swnger's halloween party and not have a good time....

                                                    by the end of the night, over two dozen women had tried to jam this thing into their box:

                                                        being really good at sex is part experience, but even more so it's a natural gift, and then honing your attention to making babes get theirs, over and over and over..... long sessions and figuring out each woman you date's, desires, sweet spots, things that they love (swirling tongue around the clit softly, or literally trying to suck it off, ,or both, etc., kinks, etc....

                                                        first and second dates aren't where any of the good shit goes down, as it takes time for a woman to really let her hair down.... I've always had a gift of bringing out the kink/sexual exploration in women, mainly by making them feel confident, beautiful, and being non judgmental no matter what kind of freaky shit they eventually own up to.....

                                                        not to say you can't still have awesome first dates (i remember one babe I met through a drug dealer, asian, we hit it off, popped a few free hits of ex to try em out, wound up back at my loft, all nighter, videos, nude photos, etc....

                                                        around 4 to 5 am, after she's had 30-40 orgasm... she says "I've always dreamed of sex and "making love" like that, but figured it would be with the man of my dreams who I married, not a complete stranger I just met 9 hours ago"....

                                                        another newbie, on our second date, left with a broken heel and a load in her ass.... professing she's dated a ton of men, always wanted to to that, but I was the first that made her feel like she just had to have it and it would be awesome....

                                                        it was....

                                                          holy fukkin shit

                                                          I ask......... the donk delivers


                                                          yep... I dont know if I naturally "have it"... I certainly had it at some point... I was free of shackles in every sense of the word

                                                          gotta recover my smile in someways I guess... drugs used to be extra, they have now turned into a must in ways, but my biggest setback is mental... my ex girlfriend of 6 years (on and off) left me severely fukked in the head... I am a picky guy and I struggle to have physical, mental and sexual connection, all 3 with chicks I fukk... I never really stay long to figure them out, or for them to figure me out... there is no connection like the one I had with my ex... DUNNO

                                                          So now... sex for me has stopped being the pleasure for the chase, which at some point was... and has turned into a "comfort" of sorts... is the shit I do to release steam, release aggression in a healthy way, or simply feel a little alive inside...

                                                          Guess I gotta get over her shitt so I can enjoy my sexcapades as I used to before dating her.... I mean... even when we broke it off I wasnt kinda the same...

                                                          Falling in love in the western sense of it, is a trap from hell.

                                                          I have not fukked asian, ever, they kinda not common here in CR and they usually just mingle with their own kind

                                                            and it doesn't hurt to have yourself in shape, not look like f'n JJ, have an abnormally hard kahk (my name on the htown swinger's site was "steel", and all women immediatlely would say, upon encountering it, that it was defintely hte hardest they'd ever felt...

                                                            i think I have told stories about the babes takin' turns punching my viag'd -up stick with their fists as hard as they could... and hurting their hands in the process, in addition to being amazed.....

                                                            one of my blonde confidants who i've known and used to have as a fuk bud and then it became more family like, as she was three years older than me and I'd turned to those babes generally 3-4 yrs younger than me, upon seeing this photo of "The Donk in his prime" in my mid to late 30's, taken by a blonde model from spain at my loft, said, wow, I can see in your eyes that you really like this girl......

                                                            but this is representative of my strong pimp hand before I tied the not again to the current ms. donk in 2010:

                                                            donk about to feast on a "ten" from spain:

                                                              I'm fairly in shape... 175lbs of good old muscle with little fat... 6'00''

                                                              Cok size 16cm which is about 6.5 inches... far from 10 but I have never heard complains... been praised... I work with what I have.

                                                              I could use more cardio most definately, after breaking up I let myself go and quit the gym... been back for 2 months (bought my own home gym equipment)

                                                              cant say those are excuses or issues, setback definitely mental as I dont feel the hunger to hunt nowadays... gotta get that shitt back... as the chase is better than the catch

                                                              other day I was with a hot chick... she was fukkin wild... and well... I had a mini meltdown while partying and fukkin with her... flashbacks of my gf due to Portishead and Massive Attack hitting the shuffle at my Itunes... those 2 were her fave fukkin-music bands...

                                                              I need to find peace with that shitt... ex gf and I fukked last week and it was amazing... chem still there... if only I can deattach my shitt from hers Ill be good

I think someone like you would love it but drugs would be an issue. The money isn't really a big concern because you work so much theres not much time to spend it. I know this sounds awful and if that's all you did, it would be. But the crew bars are pretty crazy and make up for it. Every night is a Friday night and every morning is a Monday morning, that's the life. Work hard, play harder, die a little each time.

                                                                      You get free lodging, free food if you want to eat at the crew galley (can get old), you can pay to eat normal food up on the higher decks. Either way you'll never know until you try, go to a ton of counrties, etc.... But I have a feeling someone like yourself would be about that life.
