Pros

- Travel perks obviously, getting to see the world for free! - Meeting a huge network of people and friendships that last a lifetime. The crew are always friendly and fun. - Majority of passengers are really enjoyable and fun to be around, making most jobs easier. - Job security is pretty good - as long as you do your work you'll get rehired, just don't think you'll get promoted.

Cons

- Depending on position, the job can be very tiresome, working upwards of 10 hours a day for up to 10 months. - Growth within the company is near impossible - despite having high appraisals and customer satisfaction scores, you won't get promoted unless you're simply at the right place at the right time. Many poor leaders are around because of it. - The pay is pretty low, even though you don't pay rent, food or any bills. Pay is determined from your home countries' cost of living, so some lower positions get paid close to nothing. - Accommodations for non-officer positions can be bad - small rooms with roommates, and poor food selections.

Pros

You get to see a lot of different ports; you don't have to worry about food or paying for your room and board. You get to meet varies people from around the world.

Cons

The pay is not the best for people living in the USA. The job is still enjoyable, and the experience is worth it but this is better as a fresh out of high school or college type of role, or in a sense a way to "backpack through Europe" kind of job.
