If you work for any major cruise line, you know that accidents can – and often do – happen. Whether the incident involves a slip and fall on cruise ship, kitchen accident, assault, equipment failure injury, or even an outbreak, being out at sea makes it much easier to become the victim of a cruise ship injury or crime. Unfortunately, being out on the high seas often prevents crewmembers from obtaining justice for any crimes or the proper medical attention they need to recover from any injuries sustained.

The first thing you will hear from people working on a cruise ship is that the working hours are long (10 to 14 hours a day). For average people on land, this is too much for one working day. However as you all know people work on cruise ships, some even for 10+ years, and they are ok with this. Long working hours are nothing compared to stress at work and the new ship environment that the first timers face when working on a cruise ship. Stress is the reason why crew members quit on their first contract.
