What happens if you get fired from a cruise ship?

Why was the Princess Cruise rated of terrible?

Princess knew before we sailed!! I gave this cruise a rating of terrible because there was no lower rating to choose. Because I worked 42yrs in an industry that did not allow for the number of days away needed this was our first opportunity to go on my husbands dream trip. The Panama Canal.
