Extended description

After reading Mini Book 1 and 2 in the Cruizin’ for a living series you should have a good idea by now of what is expected of you in the first week onboard and what experiences you might encounter.

More than this, after the first month you would have settled down a little and realize what goes up and what comes down very quickly on a cruise-ship. This will also be the time which determine if you are going to stay on the ship or if you are going to terminate your contract.

More than this, after the first month you would have settled down a little and realize what goes up and what comes down very quickly on a cruise-ship. This will also be the time which determine if you are going to stay on the ship or if you are going to terminate your contract.

Ship life is not going to be anything you could have imagined in your wildest dreams; it is going to be one of the most unique experiences of your life.

Many people believe that you were either born to be able to life on a cruise ship or that you were in-fact born on one.
To some extend I believe this is very true. Almost all first contractors will know within the first week or month that they were made for living and working on a ship or not. Almost all who don’t adjust or don’t accept the challenges of the new environment leave the ship within 3 weeks of signing-on.
In my experience it is best for first contractors to try to enter their first contract with an open mind and willingness to learn and adjust. If you don’t have this mind-set it will be hard for you.

The next mini book (book 3) in the Cruizin’ for a living series will introduce you to Chapters 9 to 12 of the Complete Guide Book (Cruizin’ for a Living - The Complete Guide) which will be available end of February 2012.

In Chapter 9, I will explain to you what your duties will be onboard in your position as a spa therapist, hairstylist, fitness instructor or Nail technician. I will explain the financial structure the spa company you are working for follow and how much you can expect to earn.

Please bear in mind that figures in this book was as was such in my experience during 2010. It might differ from person to person and the type of ship you are on.

In Chapter 10 we will deal with Guests and what are expected of you as a Staff member when dealing with guests.
Chapter 11 details coworkers and colleagues, with The Boss as the final subject in Chapter 12.

Enjoy this journey with me and I hope that I will provide you with some understanding about ship life which might help you prepare for your first-contract and guide you towards an experience that might change your life forever.

Review by: Dr BIST on Jan. 27, 2012 :
I read Cruizin' mini-books 1-3 and found them very interesting, primarily due to my experiences of going on cruises as a "guest". As a result, I am looking forward to reading mini-books 4 and 5. However, I think the author could: 1) broaden her reading audience by simply writing about her exeriences (for the crusing public) and not writing for few people that might be interested in hiring on as a spa therapist, and 2) proof-read (and/or have a friend proof-read) manuscript to correct distracting spelling and grama errors in the text. Aside from those items, I think Ms. Steyn has real potential as a author since there are sections in all three mini-books that have you feeling for what she was going through and wanting to hear/know more about those particular experiences.
