Question

Where can I apply to work on a cruise ship?

Answer 1

It depends on what you want. If you want to make a lot of money, apply directly with the cruiseline for the dining room or bar staff, if you want ok pay and a lot of time off, work in the shops or the casino, which is what i did. Starboard Cruise Services starboardcruiseservices.com and Harding Bros are good companies, as you can go on any cruise line after your first contract.

Answer 3

You need to contact the cooporate office for which ever line you are interested in.  You can find that information on their website.

Answer 4

If you are looking for a job onboard, it is better to apply directly with the cruiseline. Stay well clear of sites asking for money for guides or to put through your application.

It is actually a scam when these "agencies" take money for your application. Here is a quote from the Carnival website..

"Please be advised that these fraudulent ads are in no way endorsed by or affiliated with Carnival Cruise Lines. We encourage interested persons to apply directly to Carnival Cruise Lines by following the instructions on this web-site for the specific position being offered."

The more luxurious and prestige lines won't hire you without prior shipboard experience so try some of the following...

www.carnival.com

www.rccl.com

www.ncl.com

www.disneycruise.com

www.hollandamerica.com

www.steinerleisure.com (for beauty & spa)

and for job sites...

Good luck and have fun.
