How can you get work on a cruise ship when you work in the administration field ie. work as a secretary?

Answer 1

www.caterer.com

you click on the type of job you want, then 'rest of the world' then 'cruise ships' then search.

Princess cruises are on there at present. They only advertise about twice a year. I think it's now and again in April. You have to be quick as it soon disappears.

Working on a cruise ship is a great life and you get to see the world.

Answer 2

unsure but try this site [ www.offshore-jobs.co.uk ]

or this one [ www.cruiselinejob.co.uk/ ]

Answer 3

The perfect job for someone in administration is as a Purser.

A Purser helps with the financial reconciliations, paperwork for customs and immigration clearance, lost luggage, room allocations, complaint follow up and general administrative duties.

It is an officer status job and comes with plenty of perks.  

With no prior ship experience, apply through the websites of Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Disney, and try your luck with Princess and Holland America.

Good Luck.

Answer 4

I dont think there is many secretarys abord the ships nowadays. But if youre qualified enouqh (especially if you speak other languages like japaanese or chinese or german) then it could be a good idea to call for a job on the pursers/info desk. But then you will have to be realy service minded and like to deal with a lot off people. Johan
