I want to work a cruise ship and i was wondering if anyone can offer me advice, or share their cruise working story. I am hoping to work in the Mediterranean or any cruise that takes place in/near Europe. There are so many scams out there I am unsure of what websites to follow and what ones to avoid. At the end of the day, i just really have no idea where to start-there are hundreds of cruise lines offering thousands of jobs-but there are also thousands of applicants. Help is appreciated, thanks!

I have that women became extremely important in the US, taking the jobs of the men in the factories and providing weapons for the troops, 'Dear John' letters became big because women didn't need financial support of men. Also that on the home front there was no quietness or boredom, people were constantly working. Whereas on the front line there were often times of boredom, waiting around, etc. that were suddenly interrupted by attacks. What are some other differences?

I think I was contacted for a job, however it seems like it may be a scam. I can only find information on the company in India, nothing in the US. When I asked when and where there new US office would be opening they could only tell me 11/25: no address makes no sense this close to the deadline. I would like to find out more about the people I spoke with on messenger and email.

I have failed at everything i have tried, law enforcement, corrections, school and so on and so on. I am running out of options and am very stupid, just wondering if maye there are any easy jobs for a loser like me in the navy something a monky could do. And i don't want to join the marines i'm in my late 20's and don't think i could handle that at this time in my life and i would probably get everybody mad at me for not remembering things like on full metal jacket.
