Hey there, just feel like I have to tell everyone out there that I just resigned and won't be any longer a DCL Crew member. I loved working in Merch but there were a few things I didn't like besides the fact that I missed the Parks soooo much and compared everything to it. It was a great experience and I learned a lot about myself. Dani
Sorry to hear that Danni, any particular reason which made you take this decision. Think twice about that, u may regret it. All the Best Renato
Sorry to hear that too Dani. :-[ I hope you have thought about it too as I know when I worked on the ship a great deal of things annoyed me but now that I have been back home for almost 2 years I realised that I do still miss it and I am thinking about going back! I do still miss the parks too and figure the cruise line is the closest things I'll get to the parks. Are you going to finish your contract or are you leaving just now? My advice would be to stay and at least get all the money they owe you! My boyfriend at the time got fired when I still had one month left but I stayed to make sure I got my bonus and my sign-off bonus!!! ;D I hope whatever you do makes you happy! Glad the ship was a good experience for you. Take care, Laura.
Hey Dani. Wow so are you finishing up right away? I guess you must have really thought it all over. This is your second contract right? You still enjoyed your time there though? Still reccommend it? :-\ Ona x
Hey there, I had vacation from january to march and was supposed to fly back last saturday. I already had confirmed my return to the wonder in february but I was not happy at all with my decision. Like I said it was a great expercience but there were to many things that I didn't like. There must be another way to work for the Disney Company and if not so I can say that I worked there and had a good time. Life has to go on. I don't mind working 74-80hrs a week but than I need to be happy in my spare time and things that make me happy. @ Laura: I missed the ship from time to time during my vacation and I sometimes think about what would I do right now on the ship, who would I met on the I-95.... The thing that makes me a little bit dissapointed is that I didn't get the bonus before I went on vacation and that I lost the "come back bonus" but it's not worth going back just for the money. @ Ona: I still recommend it but you have to see the pros and cons. I see what a disney jerk you are ;D and so am I but Disney Cruise Line is not Disney World and we both are "Kids of Epcot". I only know 2 former IP who love working on the ship and do prefer it instead of the parks. The rest is thinking about resigning in their vacation. :-\ Dani
Dannii, Thank you for making so many posts. Ive read a lot of what you said and its helping me think of good things to ask myself and good things to investigate before going. I am really excited at the though and I think the sea life could be for me. I would luv if you have msn if you could add me so we could talk disneykristen@hotmail.com
Hi Danni. Sorry to hear you're going but I'm sure you've made the best decision for you. I've heard from a lot of people that the cruise line is alot different to the parks and I guess its for some people and not others. Hope it makes you happier now as I know the decision must have been hard. Sarah
I hope the reason Dannii isn't answering the post now is because she already left home on her way to new adventures with The Princess Cruiseline! She resigned from disney in spring (OLD POST) Good luck @ the Princess Dannii
lol OK thought I had read this post before but assumed I hadn't because it had come up unread and just looked at the date. Oh well never mind
Hey Dani! Just saw your post and wanted to say hi! We were sad to hear that you decided not to return to the Wonder!! I'm sure you have heard by now that I have left Merch. and am now Cruise Sales Manager. I've been doing it since January and am loving it. Currently on vacation for another 2 weeks though and am in England with Jim!! What are you up to now? Email me... shannypooh2@hotmail.com Take care, Shannon Disney Wonder since March 2000!!
