World cruises have their own norms and rules can not be said even though his own culture. Not norms and rules of Indonesia, the Philippines, English, Dutch, Canadian, or American. But the norms and rules of yacht. There we were safe, do not get stuck, do not be intimidated when in the street, not afraid of a gun or stolen, does not pay to eat, do not pay electricity though we ate electricity soundsystem gede banget. The important thing is we worked and worked. We can always partying in the hall and our cabin, if strong every night. Simply provide a few boxes of beer, several bottles of wine and liquor plus the stomping music, the crew of men and women would gather, then it's up to you. As long as no one complaint and the captain let him. Refers to the science of sociology, I define it as the crowd, which is a group of people who have similar interests and regulated by a law unto himself, where the highest authority in the hands of the captain. When home is a delight us, but our hearts are far dilubuk actual confusion. We have the world itself, the world's cruise ships are not land!
Now about 6000 people were recorded as crew Indonesia cruise company Holland America Line. Thousands of other Indonesian people working at companies such as cruise ship Star Cruise, Norwegiean Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, Carnival Cruise Line, Costa Cruise Line, and many other liner. The majority was in the hotel and there are patches of the engine or deck, the sailors. Although the same passport as we were all safe, we are at the preferred hotel hotelier given predicate with no intention to demean the profession sailors.
Predicate sailors until now less good. There is the assumption that identical sailor familiar with the woman in every port, like getting drunk, like gambling, just bad to the parents will feel hot when the girl approached this creature. It's not exactly true. There are still among us who consistently perform religious principle. Leaving the family for many months is the weight but also be more severe if we were late into the life of rah-rah.
Many of us who was a senior in terms of age, but due to the urgent needs and economic uncertainty in the country, they continue to hold to work until retirement. Deep in their hearts a desire to stop and try to live in their own country, what business either. But many of them hit a thick wall to be living at home. Open limited efforts try often fail and finally back to the ship. Our biggest mistake when trying to live on land is the lack of information and business opportunities in the ship's old habits that made us spoiled. In forming business, a clear need tips and strategies planned and that we defeat when a try. We were like deer in the village even though we have the capital but did not have much information. Once entered the world cruises, we seemed to enter into a vicious circle.
Prism of our senior, I finally decided to end my life in the world cruises. Heavy indeed. To be honest working on cruise ships is good that can make us complacent. All of our needs because the company guaranteed us pamper. Our salaries are not huge, but we receive tips from guests who are far greater than the salary. Tips from the amount of money rather than working in Jakarta at last we can save. But money is not everything because most of us give up something far more valuable; parents, wife, son, boyfriend, close friends, relatives, everything we had just met in a short time. The price is quite expensive, we have to pay when working on cruise ships.
With a heavy heart and should be ready with all the risks I face when out of that environment, I was finally able to close the pages of my life on a cruise ship. I returned to college and finish college in a far different world of hospitality. Now all of living memory. My great desire to return but not as a crew. Someday ... .. I hope so.
(The End)
