3. I'm willing to go on any cruise line, but which once go to asia?

Answer 1

apply for one

Answer 2

Best department is the Shop.

2 concessions run most shops:

www.hardingbros.co.uk

(phone interviews, easy to get in, pays more)

and

www.starboardcruise.com

(US based).

working at the shops you are staff, which is better than crew.

The work is REALLY easy.

you get most port days off, since the shops can't open while on port.

Housekeeping is a crew position and the workload is huge.

Sure it's possible for any nationality.

good luck, it's a lot of fun

Answer 3

Usually they only hire international people for onboard positions. and for corporate positions...you usually need experience. And major cruise lines that go to Asia are Holland America, Princess, Cunard, and Royal Caribbean
