Surviving The Holiday Season At Sea
When you work on a cruise ship, spending months at sea, you resign yourself to the fact that you will spend holidays and birthdays away from your loved ones. This also means that it’s an inevitability that sooner or later, your contract will fall during the festive season. For me, the former was true, as my very first contract ran from April 2001 – January 2002, meaning I was to spend Christmas at sea for the first (but not the last) time.
