I Want to work on a cruise ship, would religion hinder me from doing so?

Question

Me and my woman are planning to apply to work in the cruise ship industry, woman meanng wife by the way.I am a sabbath keeper,much like seventh day adventist or jewish people etc, that means i dont work from friday sunset to saturday sunset. Is that possible? or would they totally not want me?

Answer 1

I'm sorry to say probably not. First off Religion is not the issue here its the hours of working. You can't pick and choose when you work and you don't work the same schedule every week. And secoundly there is a chance that you and your WIFE wouldn't be able to be on the same ship or get transferred or something. After contracts you can get transferred to different ships. And they would be less likely to hire you if you have attachments, either of you. I'm sorry but maybe you ought to find a different career. Maybe God has other plans for you?

Answer 2

I think you best find another line of work.  cruise ships run 24/7 with the only time off being every 3 or 4 years when they do a refurbish.  And while you do not work 24 hours a day on ship I am pretty sure there is no job where you can take a 24 hour break from Friday to Saturday.

Answer 3

It's not a matter of not wanting you.  But, it's a matter of you not wanting to work on specific days of the cruise.  Cruise ship employees work on contracts of 6 mos to 18 mos.  You get rotating days off.  You couldn't be guaranteed the same time off all the time.

Not gonna happen..............24/7...............y... woman?............good luck...............
