Dreadful salary for working every single day for 6 months straight, some of the shop staff get paid more than the managers.

Thanks for sharing your feedback we appreciate you taking the time. It’s great to hear your comments about the opportunity to travel and experience new places, and we also recognise your concerns around salary and the intensity of working long periods without break. Feedback like this helps shape where we focus, particularly in how we support teams during extended rotations onboard. Thanks again for your feedback, we really appreciate it.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for sharing your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that you found the team friendly and supportive, and that you would recommend Harding to others. Creating a positive working environment where colleagues feel welcomed and supported is incredibly important to us, so it's great to know this reflected your experience. Working onboard offers a unique opportunity to develop a career while travelling the world, and we're pleased that you found value in your time with us. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding accommodation, food and life onboard. Cruise ship living is very different from a land-based role, and while cabin sizes and some onboard facilities are determined by our cruise line partners, we continue to work closely with them to ensure the best possible experience for our teams. Thank you again for your contribution and feedback.
