Has Anyone Ever Had an Affair With a Cruise Ship Employee?

Question

While on a week-long cruise earlier this year, I became close with our waiter, who was from Jamaica. He was a really great guy, but nothing happened on the cruise. I definitely got the feeling that he was interested in me, but he was very respectful of me and I ended the cruise as just his friend. About 2 weeks after the cruise, I sent him a short letter and some pictures. He called me when he got them and it's been history since then. This was 7 months ago and we still talk every time he comes back into port. I did meet him for a weekend (while he was on leave) and spent a couple of days with him. They were WONDERFUL days and I can now say we are no longer "just friends". Here's my question. I've heard so much about cruise ship employees..... Has anyone else had a REAL relationship with one? Or are they all just after one thing??? In 7 months to only talk to me and actually only SEE me once, I can't imagine that's all he's after. Tell me what you think.

Answer 1

I hooked up with a guy on the cruise ship.He was really sweet and went out of his way to do extra things for me. We ended up spending one night together but we just talked and kissed. He said something to the effect of falling in love but when he got up condoms fell out of his pocket so I know what he was after but he wasn't getting it from me. Haven't kept in contact with him. Supposed to be going on a cruise in the Spring. Same ship. Might see him, might not.

Answer 2

Just take note of the hours they work and you'll have your answer. You see the same staff serving or clearing tables at breakfast as you saw serving you at dinner or at the bar , seven days a week . I believe that most of them work several months straight with no break , then they go home for maybe a month and come back to another long stint. I spoke to one steward who told me he only sees his family for 6 weeks each year , ( he had been marrried for 4 years and had 4 children !! ) You'll see mainly asians with the big majority being Phillipinos , but more recently there also seems to be an influx of eastern europeans. On RC at least you'll also see some Caribbeans as well , mainly working in the bars. These are all places where average pay on shore is very low so cruise wages and conditions are good for them. This is also true on merchant ships in general not just the cruise ships. I did some work in Manila recently and on the flight out I sat next to a guy who was executive chef for one of the cruielines. He was going on his annual recruitment trip to a college that trained chefs specifically for the cruise ships. He told me that the cruise lines like Phillipinos because they are hard workers and quick learners . Of course the more senior roles are better paid so these are more likely to be held by Europeans or Americans , although I have seen a few Phillipino officers as well, particularly in the catering staff.
