They hire black folk for that?

Sounds fun, you're in your own little world for months at a time - like a civilian submarine gig. Time away from the neighborhood can be good.

Count up all the tips and bam. I hear those folks make enough not to have to work every couple months.

I'd want to know how to swim though.

Nah but there's that classic story I read on here about a nikka fukking a girl on a cruise ship a couple years back :dead:

If anyone remembers that thread they gotta post it in here.

Them people get paid next to shyt. They stay on the water to avoid American wage laws. Yea you get tips, that could be a plus. Also their rooms are little as shyt and you can't do shyt basically but stay in staff areas during your off time. Hours are long as shyt. Bruh if you really Wana travel, I'd suggest flight attendant.

They register the ships in third world countries so they can work people like slaves.

It's a modern day slavery gig. They usually hire people from South East Asia, South American,and Eastern Europe.

There are no tips. You don't tip on a cruise ship. If the worker accepts a tip, they'll be fired.

There's a hierarchy system within the ranks, with the cleaning crew and waitstaff,at the bottom, treated like trash. And entertainment and cabin crew, on top, treated with respect.

They throw a party in their cabins every nite at sea. They steal booze and food from the cruise, but if they get caught they're fired.

I read this dope ass book about it:




The dude says it's pretty easy to bang European chics and/or single mom's on the cruises.

i think they're usually immigrants from what i've seen but i guess depends on job..they also get off the ship to visit the different places only for a few hours..was asking one girl about the ship life..it's long hours and shyt pay. She says she barely gets off the ship to any of the places but it could be she might have experienced it already. I think really there are a few places these ships goto which is eastern/western carribean. I'd imagine you'd get sick of it quick.

I have a homie out in Miami that does IT for one... I been thinking about applying as well. But only for a technical type job. From what I seen it's mostly filipinos that do manual labor on there (and not the cute kind) but there are other staff members and jobs as well
