The cruise ship lifestyle is a challenging one, and not everyone can sustain its demands for the long term. What characteristics do you have that would help you to endure the hardships (along with the fun!) for the long run? Discuss how you will manage this lifestyle for months, if not years, to come.

I know the cruise ship life is not all rosy and you have to work very hard with long hours and go for days without having the time to socialize or call home, all this I'm aware of but l am willing and determined to give a try.

In the "Revised Answer" section, I have provided suggestions on re-stating this response to make it a bit stronger and more convincing.
I recognize that cruise ship life is not all rosy. You have to work very hard, with long hours, and may go days or weeks without really having time to socialize and a place to call home. For me, the excitement of working on a cruise ship outweighs the barriers, and my willingness and determination make me a strong fit for this type of work. I am enthusiastic about this next step in my career.
