A friend of mine that I knew in high school and a talented singer/dancer worked on a cruise ship for two years. Overall, she enjoyed the experience, but did say that the room she had (shared) was the size of a closet and not in the nice part of the ship. There was a LOT of drinking and hook ups. That being said, a person can choose to avoid many of those situations. After leaving the cruise ship, she went on to be a cheerleader with Tampa Bay.
