Creator's Key Takeaways
If you want to work on cruise ships for time off, I would not recommend uh being a chef.
I think being a security guard can be incredibly claustrophobic because on a port day there's no time for you to get off the ship and explore.
The money's great, the hours are minimal. Uh you generally get all day to explore the ports.
