No Days Off
If you are someone who loves weekends, just the idea of the weekend makes you grin, then working on a cruise ship is not for you. Most cruise ship workers do not get one single day off while onboard. Usually, they are contracted for sets of about nine months, and they are working pretty much straight through that time.That being said, it is not all bad, and the crew are not working 24/7 but they work on a rotational basis. So instead of having full days off, they get some hours of downtime every day. When the contract is up, there is a two-month-long vacation.

You Will Get Left Behind
The stopovers at different ports in various countries and cities is one of the most exciting parts of a cruise. Crew members, should they be free, are able to explore the port stop-overs as they please. But most importantly, you must return on time, as cruise ships will not wait for you.If they stay in the port longer than their given time they are subject to huge fines. So don’t expect them to wait if you are late getting back. We will day this again, if you miss the departure time you are pretty much on your own. So don’t!
