Why Some Cruise Ship Contracts Are Amazing… and Some Are Hell

Creator's Key Takeaways
Two people can be on the same ship, the same cruise line, the same itinerary, and one of them will say it was the best time ever, and the other one will say they hated every second of it.
If you have a manager who doesn't take into consideration that you are in fact a human, your schedule is unfortunately going to reflect that.
You can love your job and everything about ship life but hate your cabin and your cabin mate.
Cruise ships aren't for everyone. Everyone's built for different things.
