Working on cruise ships................?

Question

I am interested in working on cruise ships and want to know if anyone knew of reputable cruise ship companies that I can apply to?

Answer 1

Working on cruise ships is not an easy job -- 10-12 hours a day, 7 days a week, and contracts range from 4 to 12 months.

Also, you'll share a small cabin and except for a few positions (officers, some staff members, entertainers) you don't get to hang out in the passenger areas.

That said, depending on where you're coming from it can provide some great opportunities.  (If you're from the US, though, you'll almost certainly have better-paying options on land.)

Below are links to the hiring sites for the cruise lines and concessionaires.  The big cruise lines are Carnival, RCI, Princess, NCL, Celebrity, Holland America Line.

Good luck.
