There Are No Days Off
If you must attend to other things or take a day off each week, you shouldn’t consider even working on a cruise ship. Cruise ship workers literally have zero days off when they are on a contract. Sometimes, they work nonstop for months or almost a year!

When a contract ends, workers get a couple of months off before they resume their jobs. Although while working, they don’t work nonstop during the day because there are shifts among workers. Each person eventually has a few hours to cool off and relax each day.
