Answer 3

Answer 4

Yes 95 years old unless your grandfather works on board as well

Answer 5

Madge is correct about bar service.

The cruise lines, specially the big ones don´t hire employees younger than 21.

A few do.

The concessions do as well.

Concessions run shops, spas, photo dept, on several ships.

Casinos are concession as well, but they dont hire youngsters.

Check Hardings, www.hardingbros.co.uk

they run shops on some 50 ships.

Its easy to get in, interviews are on the phone, pays well, you are a staff member, rather than crew, which is a lot better and since the shops are usually closed in port you get your days free.

There are always sea days when you work 12 hours, but thats happens on most departments anyway.

Good luck
