I do a fair few of these but I always charge acordingly!!  ;D ;D ;D

The money is good, but you just have to make sure everything is clean and tidy for the workers/punters the next day, oh and arrange keys/alarm codes etc etc.

Me but its not just CC hard floors can be more of a premium, I don’t like lock-ins always forget to charge extra so I get my head down.

Rather interested as to how you got to clean for Stenaline.

We get quite a few cruise ferries in down this way and it seems it could be a good source of income. I think there are about 15 different cruise ship arrivals in any one month. They must have spillages at sea, especially in bad weather and they must need cleaning when they get into port. I don't know if they have their own CCs or whether they employ the services of local businesses.

Do you just contact the cruise line direct? If so, what's the job title of the person who'd arrange this sort of thing?
