The Carnival Spirit, which recently set sail for the first time, will be heading to Alaska for a series of weeklong cruises, then on to Hawaii before returning for winter voyages in the Caribbean. The ms Patriot offers seven-day cruises that visit four islands and allow enough time in five ports so that you truly get a chance to explore Hawaii, on your own or through 80 optional excursions. Working on a cruise ship can be interesting, exciting, glamorous, and rewarding. It also calls for long hours, working seven days a week, and being on board a month or more.
Crew members do get time off with opportunities to explore the destinations the ship calls on.

We woke up to a view of a sea of brownish color. The muddy water contrasted starkly with the vivid blues of the Caribbean we had been enjoying just a day earlier. The last thing you would want to be reminded of when taking a cruise is the sinking of another ship. But here we were in the Olympic dining room of the new Celebrity Millennium, decorated with paneling from the sister ship of the Titanic.
