Is working on a cruise ship a good idea?

Hi guys,

I was wondering if any of you have experience working with Cruise Liners which sail around the world... I don't actually have any specific idea as to what type of jobs to do on board I was just curious to get your opinions on the matter... i.e. Saving money while you work aboard the liner... then with your vacation leave or even if you just don't return back to another post...travel the world or a few countries then find another placement on another cruise liner

Has anyone funded their travels this way?

My friend worked on a cruise as an activity specialist and the photos she put on Facebook and Insta looked amazing she went to so many places but she did sayit was really hard work as they didn't get days off. Its not for me but it is a good way to go to new places if you are prepared to work hard.
