The Secret Lives Of Cruise Ship Workers

Perfect Job For Dieting!

Often, cruise lines are known for their delectable food offering a variety of fancy desserts, seafood, and other delicacies. However, for employees they get the short end of the stick so to speak. One cruise worker wrote on Reddit that it was akin to a school lunch saying, “Imagine eating at your high-school cafeteria three meals a day, seven days a week for a year.”

Another employee said they were fed strange cuisine like “goat foot stew”. Yikes! Former cruise ship employee Kat told Mental Floss, that the food choices were a sure-fire way to lose weight. She said, “I would lose about 10 to 12 pounds per contract.” Aside from the food, cruise ship workers are on their feet for long hours at a time, constantly attending to guests which keeps them active and at a healthy weight. This is quite the opposite of the passengers’ experience who are there to enjoy decadent meals, endless buffets and plenty of booze!
