Administrators on cruise ships?!?

Question

Hi, I would love to work on a cruise ship as an Administrator. I will be finished my HNC in Admin & Info Tech in June, I also have been working in different organisations so I have over 12 years experience of different office environments - will this be enough??

Answer 1

You need to contact the cruise lines to get information about whether they have the type position you are looking for.  The type position that you mentioned may be in one of their headquarter's offices rather than on ship.  But here are some leads.  I know that on Royal Caribbean's site if you go to the bottom of their home page and click on OUR COMPANY it will take you to a page where career opportunities are listed by category: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/ourCompany...

Then there are more links that will let you see and download job requirements. Celebrity Cruise line is a RC affiliate and so you should be able to get similar information from them the same way. here's a link to their jobs page: http://www.celebritycruises.com/aboutcel...

Here's Norwegian Cruise line: http://www.ncl.com/nclweb/cruiser/cmsPag...
