Tom ship life is tough, working through a couple of ship contracts will make you enjoy a normal life that is for sure! A larger percentage of our company came from the cruise lines with many years experience. Some of our work are refits so we actually work while the ship is in service, makes it tough with customers on board, but when we are not working we get to enjoy ourselves a bit. This trip will mostly be at the ship yard during the final construction, then the first revenue voyage. If all goes well during the first voyage I will be in a “stand-by” mode just in case something goes awry.
