Is it fun to go on a cruise alone?

One of the questions that I had before I started my very first cruise ship job is would it be too boring if I went out alone? Having no friends or anyone that I know of to start with seems like a very lonely thing to do, but after a while, I got the answer to that question... cruising alone is boring, if you make it one, but it doesn't have to be.
Having a travel and tourism job is a great opportunity to meet a lot of new friends. When you are assigned to your department, you will surely find a crew or two coming from the same country as yours and that is an instant friend. Companions on board are not hard to find as there are a lot of crews working alone or did not bring their friends with them.
There are tons of activities on board the cruise ship and by participating in these, you will make a friend. One of the activities that crews and passengers have are sports, the bars and the pool. The activities are not the exact way to get new friends but the group and individuals that you meet along the way. Guests and cruisers can be friends as well. Not all cruisers are with companion and you can have a chat with them while you are doing your job. That is of course if they permit you to and vice versa.
You should be aware of the programs and activities they have on board and as many cruise lines let their crews use amenities and facilities while they have a rest day, it is a great opportunity to have fun. Stay away from your cabin as much as possible and don't be shy.
One of the great ways to meet new friends on board is during meal time. Most cruise crews doesn't have the same time for their meals but they do take it on groups. Once you have your food time, share tables with your fellow crews and make friends along the way.
You can get on a cruise ship alone with out knowing anyone but get off it having lots of friends and groups. And the next time you take on your cruise ship jobs, you can be sure that you will have friends and you can make more.
