I am Sailing - not very far yet!!

Hi Everyone, wonder if you can help?

Next year i am due to start working on the cruiseships, an opportunity i've wanted for ages!!

But i've got one slight problem - i've got a £4500 loan - Unfortunately before we start on the ship we have got approx 12 weeks training before hand (which we don't get paid,(all accomodation, food, travel etc is paid for) and another 4 weeks after we start before we get paid?!

Obviously during this time i won't be able to pay my loan, does anyone know how i could get round this? i don't want to not pay for 3 or 4 months as no doubt they'll charge me for that, but i can't think what else i can do???

Any Ideas???

Thanks
