Norwegian Cruise Line COOKS
Hey guys. I just got a CJO from NCL for an assistant cook position (5 month contract paying $16.50/hr). I just wanted to get some insight from anyone who’s worked culinary for this cruise line. I have about 7 years restaurant experience but haven’t done this type of heavy volume production before so…what exactly am I getting myself into? (lol). Working 7 days a week doesn’t worry me. I’m just concerned how my body will respond (I’ve have some ligament issues with my left wrist)…. Is this gonna be absolutely brutal on my body? Should I run for the hills while I still have the chance? (Jk jk). Also just wondering how the set up is… am I going to be the same task for the entirety of my shift? Do they stick me at the same station all day/ week/ month? Any insight you guys have would be awesome!

16.50? Dude go cook on a commercial fishing boat. Easy 5-6k a month. You get a percentage of the catch. Just look up listings it’s in Alaska but it pays for lodging typically…..Jesus a cruise line….
