Nonstop parties, free trips around the world and an endless flow of champagne and caviar. Sounds like a dream job, right? 

Well, that was the reality for Christopher Arreola, who worked on the largest private residential yacht on the globe catering to the ultra wealthy.

Arreola, 45, from Florida, was hired by the ship as the Sports and Golf Manager back in 2016, which meant he was in charge of booking and managing the residents' golfing expeditions whenever the boat would dock on an island.

The job certainly came with a slew of perks, but working for millionaires also resulted in him having some truly wild experiences. 

Now, he has lifted a lid on what life on board the lavish ship, where apartments start at $2.4 million and go to as much as $15 million, was really like.

During a recent chat with the Daily Mail, Arreola, who became a PGA professional during college, explained that he always had a passion for golf and for traveling. So after graduating he decided to combine the two.

He got a job with Norwegian Cruise Line and was tasked with 'arranging tee times and transportation' for guests who wanted to play golf when they stopped on the islands.

Then in 2016, an old boss of his reached out and told him that he was working on a private residential cruise ship called MS The World and that a position had just opened up for Sports and Golf Manager.

The 644-foot vessel is basically a floating luxury apartment complex. It has 165 privately owned apartments, ranging from 290-sq-ft studios to 3,240-sq-ft four-bedroom residences.

The boat boasts 'amenities that exceed even the highest standards of luxury travel,' per its website, which include multiple restaurants and bars, two pools, a gym, jogging track, yoga studio, full-sized tennis court and spa.

It constantly travels the globe, docking at roughly 100 different ports a year, usually for a few days or weeks before moving on to the next. 

Arreola's job was to manage the 'state-of-the-art golf simulator' on board, which he said had about 80-100 different courses. 

But more importantly, he was also in charge of overseeing the residents' golfing trips on shore.

'I [spent much of my time] emailing and calling courses and private transportation companies to set up exclusive arrangements for our owners,' he explained. 

'Transportation ranged from a VIP SUVs to private jets, depending on the venue and number of golfers who wanted to play.'

He'd also accompany the owners to the golf courses to 'make sure everything ran smoothly and that the logistics appeared effortless.' 

'[Sometimes I'd even] play with them or they'd insist I have a drink with them after the round,' he shared.

According to Arreola, there was no request too bizarre when it came to working with the ultra rich.

'There simply weren’t any requests the ship wouldn’t legitimately consider. As long as they could have a reasonable amount of safety, anything was fair game,' he explained, before recalling one time they were sailing to the Arctic around Christmastime, and an owner requested that a charter boat bring him to an iceberg dressed as Santa Claus to surprise his kids when they docked. 

Arreola said there was a never ending sea of parties on board.

'Any reason was a reason to have a party. Of course, you have [major holidays like] Halloween, Valentine's Day, etc. But they would also throw parties for election nights, birthdays, anniversaries, [stuff like that],' he explained.

'The ultimate goal was to enjoy life and have fun. The atmosphere was alive.' 

Arreola recalled one time that an owner was throwing a birthday celebration for his best friend on board and confided in him over a very unusual problem he was facing: whether or not he should invite President Barack Obama.

'He was really struggling with whether to invite the [then-president]. He knew his friend and the president were good friends, but at the same time, he didn't want to take the attention away from his friend,' Arreola recalled. 'Ultimately, he decided not to invite him.'

Arreola told the Daily Mail that despite the top one percent having some outrageous requests, he rarely ever found them to be 'overly demanding.'

'I spent a lot of time with the owners on the golf course. I found them all to be fairly down to earth and... well... normal,' he shared. 

'Almost all of them were self-made. So, they all worked very hard to build their wealth, which usually came from owning a company or a successful private practice of some type.'

He said he felt like the entire crew on board was treated with respect, adding that owners 'did not hold back in generosity.'

Arreola, who only worked on the ship for a year, explained that every resident who joined the 'exclusive' community had to be 'approved' before they were allowed to purchase an apartment on board.

And according to the former employee, the committee who decided who can live on The World was very selective.

He said they only chose people with 'favorable personalities' to ensure a drama- and stress-free environment at all times.

'Who wants to live with a grumpy old man or a woman who is overly critical about everything? These types of characters would kill any social atmosphere aboard the vessel. It is simply too small a community for bad apples,' he said.

Arreola described his living quarters as 'small' but 'very good,' explaining: 'My quarters were perfectly adequate. There was a desk and a chair, a small flat screen TV, two standing wardrobes and several drawers, plus open storage under the bed for luggage.

'The bathrooms were equally small, but nice. The saying goes, "You can s**t, shower, and shave in the same spot." And it’s true. But you didn’t need anything else.'

One perk employees got was that they had a 'cabin steward' who took care of housekeeping for them. 

'[They always made sure we had] fresh sheets and clean towels and they even did our personal laundry with a one-day turnaround time, neatly folded and waiting for us the next morning,' said Arreola. 

Room and board, as well as all meals, were free and his salary was $54,000 a year; his schedule consisted of four months on the boat followed by a two month break.

He noted that while some may consider the pay low, not having to fork over any rent and getting endless free food - as well as a chance to travel the world - made it all worth it for him.

'It's a great way to live,' he said. 

Arreola explained that he was ultimately fired after he started dating a fellow crew member and the two got into an explosive fight in front of other employees.

'While it is simple to say don’t sleep with co-workers, ship life is just different. It honestly isn’t an option if you are single and even remotely interested in a romantic life. It is just going to happen,' he explained.

'Cruise ships and passenger vessels like this all have a zero-harassment policy. The ship simply has no room for shenanigans and personal drama.

'Both of us were fired. And that was the end of my time aboard The World.'

His advice to others looking to work in the luxury hospitality?

'Dedicate yourself to being the best. You need to strive towards perfection at all times,' he said.

'And you must genuinely want to serve and make others happy. I loved being able to help someone make memories that will last a lifetime. 

'Fake smiles are easy to spot, and a job like this would be brutal if you don’t really love the work.'
