Question

How do i get a job on a cruise ship?

Answer 1

You didn't mention what sort of job you are looking for, or for that matter, what type of cruise ship.

Assuming that you are looking for a service-oriented job (waiter, porter, etc) on one of the larger ships (Carnival, Royal Caribbean, etc), you may want to go to the website for the company and check for a link to "Careers".  

If you are looking for technical or entertainment-type jobs, there may be specific qualifications needed.  Again, the website of the company would be a good place to start.

In general, with any entry-level job in the travel industry, you want to have a good knowledge of geography and cultures (people from different parts of the world have different social expectations), and you want a strong background in customer service.

Answer 2

i would think that you contact the cruise line for application and go from there .good luck to ya.

Answer 3

You can go to the web site for each cruise line and click on Human resources or employment to see what they are offering.  Or you can also go to this web site:
