I rather like carnival myself... RCCL is kind of wretched to the

for the passengers also... Hell, on RCCL crew couldn't even mingle
with the passengers, yet with carnival we can all get dressed up and
party with the cones if we want.

Interesting Dave. I was under the impression that RCCL was the better
employer; however, I got this impression from talking with several
entertainers (i.e., dancers, singers, and musicians) that I have met on
various cruises.

Well I suppose for anyone in the entertainment faction it will be the
same on whichever ship you work. However, the fact does remain that
carnival isn't really as strict as RCCL.

What I was actually told was that RCCL pays its entertainers far better
than the other cruise lines. Carnival crew seem to much prefer life on
Destiny class ships to that on Spirit class ships. What ships have you
been on?

Well I was on the monarch for rccl and the fantasy and glory for
carnival. Singers and musicians make alot, but dancers make even
more, due to cruise staff pay. Basically they get extra cash every
week for scratch tickets and bingo.
