The ships almost always hire only people from philliphines, indonesia, india for waiters positions. Aka low paid positions with strong tipping points. It was the same on RCCL as well.

Also the ship is like 50% latinamericans (speaking spanish or portuguese).
But I think they have higher requirements for RCCL and Disney.


Almost nobody speaks spanish either, but they try! luckily our cabin crew is from mid america.

Speaking of which.. we were p'''sed yesterday. Why? An old grumpy white dude told the multilanguage guide (on the tour we all paid for) to stop speaking spanish and to only speak english. Claiming that WE SHOULD be the ones learning english.
The taiwan born and other americans were annoyed by this passive aggressive racism from this dude. Anyway, the guide continued to translate regardless. Note that he was speaking first english then he translated to spanish.

I think this POS dude was angry half the ship was people speaking spanish (he was from our ship).

Anyway, we just left Bonaire, tomorrow Curazao before going to back and get to Nicaragua.

To resume, we're having a good time indeed!

The ROCK through the ages show was very good.
There was a dancing show today too.

And an american idol finalist was 2 days ago (Latoya London)

Cesar, glad to hear that you're enjoying your cruise. (As for the dude who had an issue with the language spoken, he was rude to the other guests, in the way he phrased his comments.)

I met numerous cast from Philippines when I sailed on the Wonder. Disney pays agencies in their homeland to hire to work on the ship 7 days a week 6 month contracts 14 hours per day with a 3 hour break in the afternoon. Hard work and friendly cast who miss their families.Also I learned one reason many cruise lines including Disney register their ships with foreign registry is that safety standards are not as strict .

Eyup, and these positions pay so bad and are dependent on tips.
