I will soon start working on a cruise ship and I heard all kinds of stories about cruise staff members constantly partying and hooking up with each other. On the one hand that actually sounds intriguing, on the other hand: "Don't shit where you eat".

Now my question is: Should I participate in this behaviour (not including guests of course), or should I rather stay out of this? I know that there is the danger of drama and false accusations, however I'm worried that I will be marked as the unpopular outsider if I'm abstaining from everything and this could also lead to other problems.

Has someone worked in a similar field and can tell me if this is true? If yes, any advice on how to behave?
