I have tried to summarize my observation with vivid and simple manner. |
Cruise Ship Life is like..... • Days of the week become countries • When almost every night as soon as you close your eyes the alarm goes off • Happy hour can be every hour. • Where you can get drunk for $5 or less in the crew bar. • Hangovers can be blamed on seasickness • Hours back determine when parties are • You haven’t had 10 minutes alone since you walked onboard • You haven’t known what day of the week it is for 6 months • Having a liquid lunch in the crew bar • Being solely responsible for tens of thousands of dollars with no sweat • Working less than 10 hours is considered to be "an easy day". • Partying with your bosses • It’s been 4 days since you’ve stepped outside • You’ve just spent a 16 hour day with the same people, so you go to dinner and happily spend the rest of the night with them • Packing is a nightmare • You can survive with one suitcase of cloths for 6 months • You smile even if you’re having a bad day • When you’re in the real world you stop yourself from saying hello to random people walking past you • Walking across the hallway and knocking replaces the need for a mobile phone • If you get a job on land you’ll feel naked without a name badge • You’re so far from home but seem to be surrounded by your family. • When you talk about how to spend your "hours off" not "days off". • Trying to identify the food in the crew mess. And so much more..... |
