Pride of America ship

I would love to take one of the jobs if I could find one that gave me enough leisure time to enjoy the cruise. Hmmm, I wonder while I'd do for spending money. Oh Well, I guess I'd have to work real hard for good tips. But then again, I wouldn't have time to enjoy the cruise experience.

The crew seems to have very little time to do anything but work. When they do have some time off they have to rush to the port to enjoy themselves and then rush back.

I can see where they will have trouble finding enough people from Hawaii to work the ships but they should be able to fill them from the mainland. The Independence was a smaller ship but I cruised on her twice and did a lot of talking with the crew. One waiter told me he averaged $1000 a week in tips plus his regular pay. They did get their room, food and clothes for working. This does come out to more than minimum wage for at least that position. True they will have to pay taxes and work long hours but for someone between jobs or not sure what they want to do I would think it is a good chance at making some money.

May not be a good job for a family person but good for someone single.
