Cruise ship life
Cruise Ship Life is like.....
• Days of the week become countries
• When almost every night as soon as you close your eyes the alarm goes off
• Happy hour can be every hour.
• Where you can get drunk for $5 or less in the crew bar.
• Hangovers can be blamed on seasickness
• Hours back determine when parties are
• You haven’t had 10 minutes alone since you walked onboard
• You haven’t known what day of the week it is for 6 months
• Having a liquid lunch in the crew bar
• Being solely responsible for tens of thousands of dollars with no sweat
• Working less than 10 hours is considered to be "an easy day".
• Partying with your bosses
• It’s been 4 days since you’ve stepped outside
• You’ve just spent a 16 hour day with the same people, so you go to dinner and happily spend the rest of the night with them
• Packing is a nightmare
• You can survive with one suitcase of cloths for 6 months
• You smile even if you’re having a bad day
• When you’re in the real world you stop yourself from saying hello to random people walking past you
• Walking across the hallway and knocking replaces the need for a mobile phone
• If you get a job on land you’ll feel naked without a name badge
• You’re so far from home but seem to be surrounded by your family.
• When you talk about how to spend your "hours off" not "days off".
• Trying to identify the food in the crew mess.
And so much more.....
