Can You Live On A Cruise Ship And Make Money Too?

“No way!” my friend Ellen’s son Alex said when I mentioned it to him. “How can you live on a cruise ship and get paid for it?

“Yes way” I said adopting my granddaughter’s phrase “you sure can.”

Alex was skeptical but after he read my article about working on a cruise ship and the fabulous bennies is that how you spell another word for benefits?he checked into it using some of my suggestions and during summer break from the University he worked on a cruise ship sailing the Inward Passage in Alaska.

I got a post card from him mailed from Juaneu. The writing side was covered with Xs and Oswith just Thanks Alex. His mother showed me pictures from his cell phone and I could see he was having a blast.

When he came home at the end of the summer he came to the house and told me about his adventures and what he loved most about working on one of the finest of the cruise ships doing the Alaskan summer sailings.

He grinned as he mentioned the partying among the crew members. Oh and yes he did meet a young lady who was a tour escort for one of the shore excursions. Whenever he was in that port they had a date. He thinks it might lead to something but not sure. She is a student at a College in CA. They have both signed on to go back on the summer cruises next year.

Alex was hired to work in one of the casinos as a dealer. He said the training was really easy and the hours working were minimal. He had lots of time off to enjoy the cruise and of course when the ship was in port the casino was closed so he went on some of the shore tours.

I looked at the pictures he took listened to his stories of interesting towns he visited like Skagway and Misty Fjords. The port he most enjoyed was Sitka a Russian style fishing village filled with beautiful art work and gold and silver icons at St. Michael’s Russian Orthodox Cathedral.

Alex thanked me again and again for telling him about working on a cruise ship. His mother thanked me for telling him because not only did he get paid but was able to save his money. All his living expenses were free while he was on board the ship.

Do you think working on a cruise ship is for you? First thing you need to do is check out the types of jobs available. See if any of them fit you.

It really could be a dream come true. Maybe someday you’ll thank me too.

Check it out.

Rv Awnings Have Come A Long Way

When I think of RV awnings a picture comes to my mind of the one on my familys 24

Travel trailer from 20 years ago. It had green and purple stripes and the arms were silver. When getting ready to move the camper we had to tie up the arms so they did not come loose on the road. That happened sometimes.

Today not only the awnings themselves have improved but the awning customer has lots of choices. You can still choose the striped vinyl for your awning but they are also available in checkered flag vinyl and solid colors that fades to white near the top of the awning. You may want an acrylic fabric in vivid colors that will not mildew fade or deteriorate. Awnings are available with a metal wrap to protect the fabric when not in use.

Hardware for awnings have improved too. Most arms have single track sliders which eliminate binding and self locking handles that makes it easy to tell when the arm is locked. Many include a lock for extra security while traveling. Some have a built in light in the roller tube. Plus you have a choice of hardware colors. New awnings also may include built in awning deflappers to stop the annoying wind noise on windy days.

There are lots of addons you can get for your RV awning Center supports help keep the roller tube from bending when open and a support added on your RV will keep it secure and supported while closed. Rafters added to the center support will keep the fabric from sagging. Rafters and center supports should be used on all awnings over 20 long. Electric or 12 volt awning hardware allows you to open or close your awning with the push of a button or with a remote. You can even get a motion detection system that will automatically retract the awning when it bounces eliminating wind and rain damage! Screen rooms increase your living area and allow you to enjoy the outside without fighting flies and mosquitoes. Screen rooms come with zippered doorways but are available with hard side aluminum screen doors and vinyl drop down side panels for extra sleeping room privacy.

Awnings come in all shapes sizes and colors. They are used on popup tent campers travel trailers fifth wheels motor homes buses work trailers and even houses! They are installed over doors windows toy hauler ramps and slide out rooms. Awnings are a great addition to your camping trip and have come a long way in the last 20 years.
