anyways, it looks like on a cruise ship, you are over-worked. well, heres an excerpt:(
I was not a therapist but worked closely with them. As the
saying goes, "Every refuge has its price." Please think twice about
working on a cruise ship. The amount of work you do in a short period
of time wrecks havoc on your body. You may leave after your contract
not ever wanting to do a massage again. You have a roommate in a very,
very small windowless cabin. You constantly breathe recycled air. The
food is not that
great, either. The pressure to sell with Steiner is extreme. I was
privy to the comments left by passengers, and every cruise there were
multiple comments about how they would never get a massage again because
of the hard sell. The therapists are constantly exhausted. Many of
them made their way to the crew bar and would get totally tanked to let
off steam. You do get 1 1/2 days off, but many times that 1/2 day is
only on embarkation day, so you really have only day off. After a few
months, the therapists rarely got off the ship because they were so
tired. Steiner really doesn't care about you because they know there
are many other people waiting to take your place.
With that being said, the plus side is if you are dead broke after going to massage school and have a difficult time finding a job, then working for Steiner is kind of like a time-out to build up your finances. You will meet many people from diverse cultural backgrounds and you will realize how all alike we really are. I rotated on several ships and there were always very few Americans working. The rumor was we are a litigious bunch and so they like to shy away from them. A majority of the people only last one contract. A lot depends on who your supervisor is. A great supervisor can really enhance your experience and a bad one can make your life a living hell. Remember that they are under a lot of pressure, as well. Go into it with the idea that this is a life experience, and you will come out alive and with many stories to tell your grandchildren.
so, it sounds like fun, but, is it really???
