Was it an honor to serve on Zuko's ship?

Zuko was a banished prince, disowned and dishonored by the Firelord. How do you think the crew felt about serving with him? Did they consider it an honor to be directly under the prince of the Fire Nation or was it disgraceful for them?

After reading the Kyoshi novels, I noticed that most of the crew here didn't have topknots. Perhaps they had lost their honor as well?

I also wonder if Uncle Iroh had anything to do with recruiting the crew in the first place, or if like in NATLA, it was the Firelord that pressed them into service?
