Well I had 6 mates that worked there at one stage and you get about half off cruises. I could not believe the places they were going for the price!!

I worked in HR recruiting Engineering Officers for the ships and as for half price, staff pay 13 quid per day on a cruise. I did loads both for works and holidays.

Is it comparable to the perks enjoyed by 'some' BA stewards?

[Dr Who?]

My perks of the job are free clothes (Fashion Wholesaler).... which is nice, and saves so much money you would not believe.
