19. Americans Need Not Apply
While America may have once been the home of hard workers, in more recent history cruise directors find that employees from the U.S. can’t take the hours. This is no 40 hours then you’re out. Ship staff may log 300 hours in a given month. That’s about 70 hours per week. It cuts into partying time, but they make it work. There are, as always, exceptions… but not with fraternization.
