Anyone worked on a cruise ship?

How much do you get paid? How long are you away for? Good fun?

Depends on your position. Anywhere from US$ 900.00 to US$ 7,000 and more a month.

lenght of contract depends on position and cruise line
4 months,
6 months,
8 month,
10 months.

Good fun ? Also depends on your position and therefore on how many hours you work a day - and what your interest is: Making money, Making a career or seeing the world.

Yes there is good fun - yet it depends what is good fun for you.
Strict rules, Hierarchy and sometimes army like behaviour of some people with stripes (Officers), drinking policies etc.

Pay depends on position, average range is probably between $1200-$2000 per month.

You are away for anywhere from 6-8 months at a time on average.

It's can be long hours and hard work, but it can be a lot of fun too.

Depends what you do for all the questions.

Contracts vary between 4 months for officers to 10 months for restaurant and housekeeping staff. Depends also on nationality and contract.

Officers get upwards of £2000 tax free a month, housekeeping/restaurant a lot less, mainly made up of tips so depends on your passengers. Front desk staff about £1200 a month, shoppies bout £1000, I think.

Very good fun but also very hard work for most jobs, also strict rules so no point going if you can't follow rules, be disciplined and do what you're told.

best thing is that the income isnt taxed
you will share a tiny cabin with another employee - but at least you'll have your own Tv to watch
the food isnt the greatest but its decent
you are away from home for approx 6 months at a time
