Or Toy boy? Twinkle still has a position ...  , and perhaps some of the other ladies too.
I would never work on a cruise ship. Too limited. I hate being around much people, let alone for weeks on end.

I need to find a job in the field I want to make a career in - mkt. But a few years ago I would have been very very interested in that, though.
It's funny, I'm not at all a cruise fan - I think it's stupid to pay money to be enclosed on a ship. However working on a ship is different. It's the sea, the fact that you meet complete strangers and... that you get paid for it, that sounds fantastic. I think as a work envirnment it's devine, but not a leasure time, if that makes any sense.

Well sign up then. You have the hautness it takes. And don't forget to include a reverend on the ship, so you can marry even on board of the ship.

It wouldnt be to good if you got sea sick but I'm thinking it might be quite an adventure. Imagine getting paid for making sure people are enjoying themselves. Hopefully, your days off would be at times when the ship was docked at some of the ports along the way.

Those ships are like a Navy carrier, they are so large until they have very little ocean movement going on, unless it's a larger storm. Also, unless you've been on a ship like that, it's hard to even comprehend how HUGE they are inside. The last one I checked out online had 6 swimming pools and a golf course on the deck.
I'm not sure how long most cruise ships are, but I know a Navy Carrier is anywhere from 900 ft to 1200 ft long (over 3 football fields long) and 12 - 14 stories high. 5000 - 6000 people LIVE on it. That's HUGE! You can easily get lost on the inside. (I know for SURE  )

Why don't you check into that anyway? Now that you have college behind you, you would go in as an officer making big bucks! You would look mighty fine in uniform too!!!!
