Ok, that's part of a joke told by every cruise director. But, wait on
the NCL America ships in Hawaii it might not be a joke.

NCL is also looking into having some on-board jobs, like housekeeping
and engine maintenance, filled from shoreside positions. That would
allow those employees to work aboard the ship and return home every day,
which would likely make the work more appealing for Hawai'i residents.

Kritzman said some housekeeping positions are now temporarily filled by
shoreside employees who are awaiting their merchant mariner documents
