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.

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

 

There's another thread you could start Dr Who? - "What perks of the job do you get?"!! I used to get free fags at PMI and BAT - and cigarettes as well!

I will not be starting any at the moment, in the fear of being told off by admin! Even though I thought that was the idea of this forum? Anyway thats enough for now!
