Interesting article from someone who worked an RCI ship

[JAMESCC]

I just saw this article from someone who worked on an RCI ship for 7 months. By the picture is looks like Explorer or at least that class. Let me know what you think.

Is there any way you could post the text? Is it a long article? I am using an ad blocker and it will not permit me access unless I turn it off, which I am not about to do.

 

Just curious. :)

Not much text, mostly pictures with captions. Won't your ad blocker software allow an exception without turning it off?

Turn it off for that one page then turn it back on when you are finished reading it. You'll see a red symbol in the upper right hand corner.

 

Nice article!

OK article, not much substance. Not saying it was bad, but it is just a "surface" description of a crew member's life.

Agreed. Basically just captions for pictures. Very little real information.

Have you heard of copyright law? Turn off your ad blocker for the article.

 

By the way I have an ad blocker and it blocked the ads. I was still able to read the article...

And he's basically cruise staff, so given a lot more access to guest areas, as the photos of him dining in guest venues shows. This is not really reflective of the majority of crew experience.

It's fine. I don't need to read it that bad. :p
