Answer 4

Yes, Harings is one of the concessions for spas.

www.hardingbros.co.uk

and also

www.steinerleisure.com

the second is bigger, has larger ships.

The pay is 100 pounds a week as a salary, then on top there's commision and tips.

Some ships have no formal nights so the spas suffer a lot.

The spas are concessions on 90% of all ships, like the shops, the photo department, sometimes casino and shore-ex as well. Those 2 companies are the bulk of the market.

best line would depend on what you like. the plus of working for a concession is that if you don't like a cruise line, you can go to another.

no days off. there are afternoons off, the manager makes some rotation.

share a cabin with 1 person

spa personnel are staff, rather than crew, hence they get better everything, cabins, privileges, food, bar, status onboard, everything.

Both Hardings and Steiner make you take some course (Hardings is in Southampton). It's sort of an academy.

on top you gotta have an STCW-95 (sea survival, first aid, crowd management and fire fighting - it's no big deal), a medical exam and a seaman's book (50bucks).

contracts are 6 months on/2 +- off.

its a great life, i did it for 10 years
