A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

I worked on one once. I wouldn't be a passenger, since the only entertainment is gambling, drinking and incredibly bad stage shows twice a day. At least guests only stayed a few days and not five months. I also got paid less than the US minimum wage because it technically wasn't an American business, despite being Norwegian Cruise Line of America and based in Hawaii.

I think it depends on the company you're cruising with. Disney don't fuck around. I've heard Carnival is basically bottom of the barrel.

I don't know much about cruises, but I'm sure it's all very dependent on different variables.
