I really want to work on a cruise ship....?

Question

I have experience as a hostess, a receptionist and a cashier, so I qualify for any of these, however, do I need to go to take any classes before I am able to work on a ship? My sister used to work on a cruise ship about 12 years ago, but she had to go to school for like 6 months before she was eligible to work on the ship.

Answer 1

U can go to Carnival.com then click on Fun jobs and u r all to see the Shipboard jobs that they have available and then u can go ahead and apply for the one you like. Good luck.

Answer 2

There are actually 2 or 3 places to contact to get employment information and possibly a job on a cruise ship. One way is to contact the concession that run the shops on the ships like the souvenir, gift and clothing shops. Another is to contact the concessions that run the spa services like massages, hair and nails. Then the third is to contact the cruise line that hires the crew and the staff. Below are links for you.

First contact the companies that handle the concessions of cruise ships:

and

http://www.hardingbros.co.uk/

Then you may want to contact each cruise line on their web site. Each web site has a link for jobs or employment and some have a link to the jobs they are currently hiring for..
