Employees at Disney Cruise Line appreciate the opportunities for travel and exposure to different cultures that the job provides. They also value the chances for career growth and professional development, as well as the satisfactory compensation and family-oriented company culture. However, working on a cruise ship presents some challenges, such as extended periods away from family due to 6-8 month contracts, long working hours with potential 12-13 hour shifts and 7 day work weeks, the need to adapt to colleagues from diverse cultural backgrounds, and a physically and mentally demanding workload that can lead to stress at times.
