He worked 6 month contracts but could've had longer ones. He was well & truly ready for a break after 6mths. He did it more for the opportunity to travel and see countries that he normally would never have visited, rather than for the money. He was able to save a little bit (depends on your country of currency exchange) owing to the fact that you're meals, board are all incl. He said the food for crew wasn't always the best so would often buy a meal when in port, providing he wasn't on duty and not allowed off ship.<br><b>References : </b><br> My son worked several contracts for Carnival / Princess.

You are away from your home, work 6 to 7 days a week, split shifts. also for youth counselors, they prefer someone who has a bachelors degree in childhood development, or education/and someone with experience. all that said, i would still contact the cruiseline, and find out more. good luck to you, i would contact disneycruise.disney.go.com cruisecritic.com<br><b>References : </b><br> from what i have heard, hours are very very long when you work on cruiseships, pay is low (for american’s expectations, that is ) and you have to sign a 6 month or more contract.
