Answer 1

Well all you have to do is apply, go in person to whatever cruise line you what. Go to international Cruise Lines. Nowes the time get busy, look.

Answer 2

Get to know the players and you'll find the cruise lines most likely to hire you. Who are the most successful cruise lines? Who is adding new ships? Apply there first. Familiarize yourself with your prospective employer's "product. Where do their ships travel? For what programs and facilities are they best known? Most importantly - what kind of people will you find aboard their ships? The passengers are your ultimate employer, the customers you'll serve, protect and entertain.

Know the Players: Royal Caribbean International, Princess and Carnival are known as the 'Big Three', with the largest fleets in the industry, these employers should be at the top of your list. There are also unique job opportunities with smaller, specialty cruise lines like Delta Queen Steamboat Co., and Special Expeditions.

The type of programs and facilities offered by each cruise line offers define who gets hired. Companies with state-of-the-art spas, salons and fitness centers hire more stylists, aromatherapists, massage therapists and fitness instructors. Entertainment jobs vary from line to line. Crystal Cruises and Seabourn may hire lecturers, pianists, classical quartets and duos; while NCL's popular sports and theme cruises create openings for theme entertainers, lecturers and celebrities. Comedians, production dancers and Rock N Roll or Jazz bands are most likely to be hired by lines such as Carnival, Princess, Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity, and Holland America Line.

A cruise line's 'primary market' or type of guest also determines job opportunities: Disney Cruise Line and Carnival Cruise Lines boast of the biggest year-round youth counselor staffs in the industry. Gentlemen Hosts will find openings with lines that cater more to the mature traveler.  There're many options to consider if you want to work at a cruise line and yes, pay is good!

Answer 5

I am sure you can.  My advice would be to go with Disney cruise ships.  They are fabulous.  I recently went on the cruise, and it was the best cruise experience of my life.  Everyone was exceptionally nice and kind....the food was great by the way.  It was just a great experience.  I would just go to the website...I believe it is disneycruiseline.com  and go to job opportunities!

Answer 6

Most of the individual cruise lines have information on their web sites about employment...just look for the link and have a rock solid resume to submit.

Although these positions are highly desired, and the competition is often fierce, there is also a turnover rate, so keep applying if at first you don't succeed.

Oh, and don't be afraid to apply for other positions with the cruise lines, like being a photographer if no serving positions are available...getting "in" is what's important.

Most of the cruise lines like an international staff, so where you are from is less of a factor than your ability to create fine cuisine and follow directions.

Although it is very hard work, with long hours and cramped living quarters... sometimes going for months at a time on an assignment, the rewards are steep according to people I have known personally who have lived it. They report there is no better way to see the world, with lots of opportunities to meet people and move up the ladder.

The one thing I have heard for sure though, is that it isn't the 'right' job for people who are married due to extended periods of absence.
