How can i get a cruise ship job?

You need to start with what you can offer to a cruiseline - meaning what position do you qualify for. Are you a trained cook, bartender, receptionist, retail person? You need a minimum of 2 years of work experience in the same or higher position you are applying for. Do some research I recommend the below sites: http://www.cruiselinesjobs.com/ - for a lot of info on life onboard a cruise ship http://www.cruisejobhelp.com/ - for a professional evaluation of your CV, work experience and qualifications, lots of tips and info and your chances of applying for a job in the cruise industry. http://www.allcruisejobs.com/ - for the latest open positions onboard cruise ships. http://www.facebook.com/#!/cruiselinesjobs - Cruiselinesjobs on Facebook

You need to go to the cruise line web sites. There you will find a link to jobs, employment, human resources or some such link that will give you information about their positions. Use these web sites as a lead to who and where to write or call for information about positions. Some sites have actual vacancies listed and they also will list in general terms the basic requirements for working on a cruise ship. Many cruise lines use "hiring partners" who are agencies around the world who help them find and screen candidates. DO NOT use any other web sites that require you to pay a fee to register or get job information or referrals. Carnival cruise line actually has a warning on its site about cruise jobs scams. Check this web link: http://www.carnival.com/cms/fun/fun_jobs%E2%80%A6 Carnival is the parent company for several cruise lines including Carnival, Cunard, Princess, and Holland America. So contacting Carnival you can ask for leads to the other cruise lines also. Then Royal Caribbean cruise line is a partner with Celebrity and Azamara. So you can ask for leads to these others. https://jobs.rccl.com/jobs/web_container%E2%80%A6 Holland America jobs: http://www.hollandamerica.com/about-best%E2%80%A6 NORWEGIAN: http://www2.ncl.com/about/careers/overvi%E2%80%A6 AND, http://www2.ncl.com/about/careers/shipbo%E2%80%A6 Princess: http://www.princess.com/employment/index%E2%80%A6 And, http://www.princess.com/employment/onboa%E2%80%A6 Another thing to do is to contact the concession that run the shops on the ships like the photo, souvenir, gift and clothing shops. These are also the companies that hire the beauty shop/spa employees for ships. Below are links for you. http://www.steinerleisure.com/ and http://www.hardingbros.co.uk/ For the most part you are going to need experience in the field you want to work in, i.e. waiter, house cleaning, bar tender, and at least a couple years experience. The cruise lines web sites describe very well the requirements for positions and also the work environment.

if you just interested in travel around,not really want to work on the cruise line, better not to choose a job on the ship.it is not easy to stay on the ship for a couple of month.

If you are charged money it's a scam Every single cruise line lists openings on their corporate website. That is the best place to find jobs. There will be plenty of applicants but that's because so many people want to work on ships. You can't really choose where you want to work unless you find a line that only sails the Med, but if it's one of the major cruise lines like Carnival, Norwegian, etc you go where they want you to go
