Krista Jocelyn, a performer for Norwegian Cruise Line, explained that living on a cruise ship is a “great way to save money”.
She claimed that all she has to pay for is her phone bill and anything she wants when she gets off of the ship.
Krista explained that her food is also free, and she’s even allowed to dine in a lot of the guest bars and restaurants, without having to pick up the bill.

“I don't have to pay for rent, food, electricity, water, anything like that.
"Only thing I have to pay for is if I go to crew bar and get a drink or snacks, or if I go to a restaurant or bar that's in a guest area - most of them are free but not all of them.”
Of course Krista pays her way when she exits the ship, as she added: “Then if I get off the ship, obviously I have to pay for anything there.”
Despite this, the entertainer explained that she also doesn’t have any rent or home bills to pay for either.

Pros and cons of going on a cruise ship
Whether you're considering a long holiday, working remotely or even living on board a cruise ship for a few months or years, here are the pros and cons from a former cruise shipper.
Pros
- Travel the world, learn and experience new cultures
- Meet new people
- Don’t have to think or worry about room cleaning, or food
Cons
- Internet connection can be painfully slow and expensive
- Limited luggage allowance so have to wear the same clothes on rotation
- Having no control of where the ship would go next and the possibility of visiting the same ports
- Having the same onboard entertainment, on-demand movies, and little choice of TV channels
- No fresh newspapers or new books unless someone adds them to the library
- Relatively the same food week after week unless major menu changes occur seasonally.
- Occasional rough seas, bad weather and viral outbreaks while inboard.
To this, Krista responded: “Most of the crew does work seven days a week.
“For me, I have a rotation of duties with the cast so it’s not usually seven days!”
Whilst another questioned: “Is the POA the first NCL ship for you?”
In response, Krista explained: “Technically yes, but I’ve worked for NCLs luxury lines Oceania and Regent!”
