All of the regulations and rules that apply now were not so much in place 40 years ago
when I did the Matson Lines from Cal to Hawaii....things were a lot more slacked off
than they seem to be now'a days....back then the 7 day cruise was really a lot of fun and even back then the money was pretty decent for main room performers....however, I would have to take a good hard look at doing anything like that today....it may be good for the young guys looking to get started and a have a taste for adventure...
