If I take a year off after high school would I be able to work on a cruise ship?
-
What positions would I be able to fill? And how much would I be able to make? Thanks so much!

Answer:
Probably not. With extremely limited exceptions, cruise companies hire people who are at least age 21, and they hire people with 2 years of applicable experience on shore in those job duties. The way to find out about applications and requirements is to go to the cruise company web sites and follow the links to "employment". Do NOT go through any business that wants you to send money for their help in getting a job on a cruise ship! Cruise companies do not deal with them, and all you will get is a hole in your wallet. (Carnival even has a warning on its web site about that sort of thing.)

No. You may be too young, first of all. You'll also have no experience and you'd only be working for a year. Also, if you're American, there are very limited, if any, positions you'd be considered for. [One exception to this is the all-US staff on the NCL Pride in Hawaii - a ship known for its poor service.] Americans are usually unwilling to work under conditions required on a ship or for the low pay. Any of the cruise lines have an "employment" button at their websites.

Check the cruise company's websites. Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises, etc. Search the web for "cruise ship jobs". Be careful, there some scams going around. Apparently, getting a job on a cruise ship isn't as easy as you'd think, and the scammers are taking advantage of people's naiviete. http://www.cruiselinesjobs.com/cruise-ship-jobs-scam/
