Smokers have thought time on cruise ship. First of all there are two places where you can smoke, that is Crew Bar and Crew Open Deck. When you are on duty you usually have 30 minutes break. Now, you need to decide should I go to eat or should I take coffee and enjoy 2-3 cigarettes. If you take the first option then you need to eat fast and run in Crew Bar, so you can enjoy at least one or half a cigarette. Sometimes there is a big line in Crew Mess and you take the second option.

This was our choice, good or bad, we made a decision to work on a cruise ship. Every crew member has his or her story to tell, as well as different reasons for his or her choice in working on a cruise ship. Main reasons for working on a cruise ship is to save money and to travel the world. 

Every crew member, staff, and officer aboard a cruise ship come from different parts of the world where different laws and rules apply. It is the responsibility of the cruise company to draft some sort of policies which would bestow order and understanding aboard one cruise ship. Every employed member aboard the cruise ship signs an agreement with the company that he or she would abide by the policies which are drafted by each particular company.

The average salary for a cruise liner captain jumped 22.8 per cent last year to $153,379 with wage rates for master mariners aboard less glamorous bulk carriers and container ships receiving a 16 per cent boost to $110,981.

Chief officers aboard cargo ships did even better than their captains in terms of pay rises, logging a 27.5 per cent increase to $82,737 a year.
