Leslie, the Russian AMA must be different from the European version. It was on 2 Christmas market cruises that we were told about the CD.

Fred, The cruises aren't always full and I thin the weekly stipend is closer to Euro 3000.00. Also, the CD doesn't work every week. He's at the hotel 2 or 3 days before the 7 day cruise doing the hospitality desk. He's also the travel dept managing all the tours, audio devices, transportation at the end of the cruise etc, so it's much more than just a CD. The ones we talked to run, at best, 2 cruises a month.
