My wife and I were being poached to go and play on a big UK shipping line:
http://www.oceanvillageholidays.co.uk/ Apparently the money was good - but here's the catch - a 6 MONTH CONTRACT!
(Who was complaining about a few weeks???)

The more I read about cruise ships these days, and the offers we get from Cruise Ship/International Hotel Agents, the less I like it - talk about crap money!!!
We make usually $1500-$2000 a week working 3-4 days per at home!!!!
Most O.S. positions seem to struggle to offer that money doing 6 nights per!!!!!!
Forget it!
