You’re Basically Owned By The Cruise Line

After becoming the first American working for the Carnival Cruise Line to not quit before his contract expired, former cruise worker Brian David Bruns released the book Cruise Confidential in 2015. The feeling of being a property of the cruise company was the worst part of Brian’s trip. He said, “The worst part of the job is being ‘owned’ by the corporation…They control what you eat, when you eat, when you can go use the toilet, how cold it is in your cabin, everything.” Yikes!

They Eat Leftovers

Crew members are at the bottom of the food chain; thus, they only get scraps. It’s similar to what you’d see in a high school cafeteria, but sometimes far worse. Because they don’t have much to work with, the culinary staff gets inventive, but it’s not something you’d want to eat all of the time. Imagine having to eat unusual dishes like goat foot stew on a regular basis! Passengers’ leftovers are served to lucky ship passengers. They’re allowed to eat what’s left of a passenger buffet at the end of a shift, albeit it’s so wonderful that it doesn’t last long.
