    Drinker, I say go for it. It's 5-6 months, you hate it, you're done. 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.
    well, someone had to make a move on her and maker her their's....

    decided it'd be me......





    hell, since the title of this thread is "bisexual" or some shit like that, and that fahg biggie was the first one in here, fire uo a LEFT/RIGHT POLL ON the photo above, Diggity..... Left is The Spaniard, Right Is "Donk's Nice Ass"

        I should add that I always FOCUS on my date's personality, and you won't catch me treating her like an object, or shamelessly staring or gawking at her .... I always make only EYE contact....

                        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

                          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 hear being Captain is pretty sweet. Go for that.

                          Drive that ship!

                            You have to be French or Italian to be the Captain

                            They get a ton of puzzy at sea, generally one of the dancers

                              Seems like a worthwhile experience for several months if you're young, single, with nothing tying you down. What have you got to lose. I imagine your expenses are nil at sea.

                                I think most ship Captains I have met were/are Greek. I met many in the port of Vancouver in the mid 90's.

                                    Massive tax free cash income could be had. Become a male dancer. Hand out business cards to little old ladies
                                    getting off the boat. They will squirm on their wet spot while digging in their purse for 20's to put in your ass crack.
