Say it like "cruise", as in Cruise Ship. That's the way the Verizon Store employees pronounce it..
Normally not.
A good way for corporations to reward hard-working, loyal employees is to send them on a cruise. They'll feel valued, come back refreshed and be much better workers. Corporations often look for the best cruise packages available, and some of them book cruises for entire groups of employees as corporate retreats.
Cruise ship employees can make any where from 2,000 to 6,500 a month. It really depends on which cruise line you want to work for and what position you hold.
Whether or not employees of cruise lines get scheduled leaves depends on their contracts. The employees days off are not necessarily spent aboard the ship. Depending on what type of position an employee of a cruise line holds, they are encouraged to get off the ship and go ashore if their schedules will allow them this flexibility.
Yes cruise west has gone out of business. They were a somewhat large company that was struggling. They had to lay off several employees after the market crashed in 2008. You can read about it here: http://www.travelweekly.com/Cruise-Travel/Demise-of-Cruise-West-leaves-CEO-broke,-heartbroken,-sorry/
One of the things that sets Carnival Cruise Lines apart from other cruise lines is their hands on community service projects organized and lead by their employees. These volunteers call themselves F.U.N. (Friends Uniting Neighbors) Team.
The Carnival Spirit cruise ship weight about 86,000 tons. The length of this ship is 963 feet. This ship can carry over 2,100 guests and 930 employees.
Cruise lines have different rules for gratuities. In some cases the gratuities are included in the price of the cruise, what is known as a cover charge in hotels and restaurants. With others it is the decision of the customer to pay gratuities for the services provided. There will usually be a clause in the employees contract concerning gratuities.
Who wouldn't want a career on board cruise ships or on shore with cruise line companies? Working for a cruise line company is great as it is a great chance to earn good money, a chance to see the world for free, save tons of money as these company usually takes care of their employees accommodation and meals and meet people of different culture and origin.
