Should I Quit my Job?

Before judging me, please read my entire question in full.



I got hired to be an Entertainment Host on Disney Cruise Lines way back in May 2010. They told me it would be a few months before they started me with my process of getting hired. Around July 2010 I passed the medical and criminal background check, and in August was emailed an official hiring letter saying my start date would be November 13, 2010.



Naturally this was exciting news- a cruise job where I would be at sea for 6 months in the Bahamas or Carribbean or European waters. I currently have a position as Corporate Faciliator at a Museum in my hometown, and have been there 4 years. I wrote a letter of resignation and turned in my notice to my boss.



Three weeks later in early September, my CEO Hiring Agency called and said they wanted to know if I was available October 20th, WAY before the original start date. I said yes, because I didn't want to look like I was difficult and wanted to be an agreeable new employee. I then went to my boss and told them I was being asked to start earlier, and If I could give them a new letter of resignation that had an earlier departure. My boss said that was fine, but to do it quickly as she had almost sent it to Human Resources to begin my termination papers. I gave her the new later, and took in a breath of relief.



Five days later the CEO company of Disney called me again, saying "We know we keep changing your date, but we feel you are one of the strongest candidates we hired- and want to know if you want to start on the new ship, Disney Dream, in Amsterdam on November 30th." I was excited, a bit disgruntled by yet ANOTHER start date change, and said Yes.



Now I'm in a dilemma. I can't go to my boss and ask for A THIRD time to give a new notice. I'm also worried that Disney could change my start date yet again. Problem is financially I can't afford to be out of work 4 weeks. Do I borrow money from my parents? They did say they were willing to help me out in the beginning, but I am 29 years old and don't feel like being a burden. On top of this, I have an apartment I now have to change the sublet on because my current person I told could sublet was given different dates.



1) Do I quit my job and just borrow the money?



2) Why does this keep happening with the date change? I am getting to the point of just telling Disney no thank you, as its an inconvenience for me every time they change the date. HOWEVER, its such a huge opportunity for me to make connection in my future entertainment career, I don't want to say no.
