Stable roster 2-3 months in advance, hours low but time at home good, salary pretty competetive with all things considered but overall quality of life very good. When you are away you're looked after well, the hotels are about as good as it gets (save Italy!) - the operation is very slick & impressive.
Like most places T's & C's could be better, pension pretty hopeless but as far as the "happy ship" comment goes - that's verging on b**lox.
