Has anyone worked on a cruiseship?

Can anyone give me some insight. Im thinking of getting a retail job on one and would like any information at all so that i know if i'm making a right decision since i'll be stuck on this ship for 6months!!
Is it long hours? do you get days off? how come the contracts tend to be 6months on the ship with holiday allowance? etc etc

i never worked on one but my friend did for about 8 months. She's a beautician & massuese (cant spell sorry) & she didnt really like it. She said it was great craic & met loads of people but the work was awful....really really long hours...hardly any time off. She was working xmas day & everything. She eventually faked being sick to get off the ship. Im not tryin to put u off & dont just listen to me...make sure u talk to a few people bout it

Your best chance for shipboard employment as a US citezin is to apply to NCL. Some of their ships are american flagged thus they must hire american crew.... Suggestion more opportunities if you open your options to include cabin steward and dining service too.
Non US flag ships check out a concession for gift shop based in england called Greyhound???
Best of luck.
