Hello everyone,

I apologize if this question is in any way annoying, but I'm so grateful for your time.

Long story put short, I've been working toward a career on cruise ships, most likely in Hotel or something like Guest Services. I'm mostly interested in that administrative/clerical aspect and helping passengers to find their way and relax without issue.

It wasn't until I got my passport book as one step that I realized - crap, I take controlled medication. I have one chronic pain condition and anxiety disorder. Both are very well controlled with my meds, and I am entirely functional. They wouldn't interfere with me doing the kind of work I'm seeking.

Will the fact that I take prescription medications bomb my career in the cruise industry? I'm praying there's still a chance. I'm not in it for the money, I just know that it's what I want to do in life ... albeit something discovered a bit late!

Thanks so much for your help with this one!

Hi everyone,

Not terribly long ago, I consulted you guys with some questions and received helpful answers. I had been instructed to complete a CDR, and for the first time, I had the ability to do so online. Not that I wasn't nervous, but it was so much easier. I have shaky hands when I'm writing and glaciers move faster, so being able to type my detailed answers was great. I did go into great detail.

Today, I received three forms - the long function form, one about my anxiety, and one about my chronic pain. Most of this is unrelated to the disability I was approved for. I'm just wondering, could there have been a mix-up? I am waiting for a callback from them, but I don't see the point of doing the online CDR if I'm going to have to fill out forms with the exact same answers (which is what I'm doing - they said everything I can). Should I worry here? Thanks.
