There are heeps of good vessels out there. What determines a good vessel, is it accomodation, which is great on most cable ships due to the fact they are alongside for the majority of the year?
Look at the Cable Venture which is lovely alongside but crap on the job due to being old, underpowered and converted ferry that rolls like a tub.
A lot of us work on Supply ships which can be old with four man cabins or modern with just 2 man cabins but generally there is nowwhere to go after shift.
There are purpose built ships which tend to be better accomodation and you tend to get your TV, DVD player in the cabin. And there tends to be a some sort of rec room to retire to after shift. Generally these are better ships to be on.
Things that can make a ship shit no matter how well it is designed is the food, it can be good or bad where ever you go. A good ship can be ruined by the standard of food and likewise a shit ship can be made enjoyable because the food is great. Another thing that makes a good working ship shit is the atmosphere onboard, if you have a tosser OM that can change the whole atmosphere onboard.
Basically a ship is what you make of it, I have had some folk say they enjoyed this ship, when I have heard others say it was shit.
