Hello everyone,

I have just recently gotten a job offer for assistant waiter onboard the jewel of the seas with royal Caribbean. i should be leaving for the job in july and it will last six months. I am a Canadian/ Serbian national. And i am sailing with my Canadian flag.  I speak English fluently and i have a degree in hospitality management from Toronto.  Some people say its the most difficult job i have applied for? Is it possible to advance in your job on board during your first contract?  Also is it possible to change departments during contract? For example from dining room to shore excursion? how many hours do assistant waiters and waiter work for?  Do waiters ever get off the ship? Thanks for your help.
