How do I get a job on a cruise ship?

How can I work on a cruise ship or get another job on a boat? HELP?

  • I want to get a job on a boat, like a cruise ship that goes to the South Pacific and other cool places! What kind of job could I do on a boat and how can I get this job?? does it pay ...show more

  • Answer:

    Go to the cruise company web sites, follow the links to "employment", and begin there. Cruise companies look for employees with at least 2 years of experience in the job field for the position applied for. Generally, the pay is low, and the hours very long, with no days off in each contract term (6 to 10 months). There is very little time off to go ashore on days the ship is in port. On the positive side, living expenses are practically nil, and crew members can save a very large percentage of their pay. Also, they get to know people from all over the world.

Cruise ship jobs are very difficult to get. There are thousands of jobseekers chasing each individual position. You will need decent experience from a related on-shore job to be considered for a similar position onboard a cruise ship. Don't waste your time applying for dozens of jobs that you have no chance of getting, such as entry level jobs where people from certain countries get usually recruited - Filipino, Eastern Europeans, Indians, etc. You have much better chances in departments such as Retail, Spa, Health, Fitness, Entertainment, etc. Salaries on cruise ships are low but you wouldn't have topay for accommodation, clothes, food, commuting, etc. Wages are tax free; however depending where your tax domicile is you might have to pay the income tax. If you become a waiter, barman, etc. you will get a low salary but a lot of tips from passengers. Have a look at www.cruiselinesjobs.com - it's a good starting point in your research.
