Thando - Waitering
on a Cruise Ship
Working as a waiter on a cruise ship has been one of the most challenging experiences of my life. The long hours, constant movement, and high expectations from guests tested me both physically and mentally. At times, it felt like I never had a moment to breathe, especially during peak meal times or when dealing with demanding passengers.
However, the rewards made it all worthwhile. The salary was far better than what I could earn back home, and the opportunity to save money while traveling the world was priceless. I developed resilience, learned to adapt quickly, and became part of a team that felt like family. Though it wasn’t easy, the experience taught me valuable life lessons about hard work, dedication, and pushing through tough times.
For anyone considering it, know this: it’s not for the faint-hearted, but it’s an adventure you’ll never forget!
