"Why not cruise your way through the recession?"
Like a floating city, cruise ships require a wide variety of employees. Compared
to other industries, cruise lines have a high employee turnover rate. As a
result, they are constantly hiring.
The cruise lines are very strict about the job application process. If your
application package is incomplete, incorrect or is sent to the wrong person, it
will be discarded immediately. There are different procedures and different
contacts for different jobs. You must comply with these procedures EXACTLY or
you will just end up wasting your time, effort and money.
Working onboard a cruise ship does require hard work and discipline. It is
common for employees to work 6 days a week and sometimes 10 hour days. You
usually share your accommodations (cabin and bathroom) with other crew members
and are required to maintain a certain level of behavior in public places.
Contracts are between 4 to 6 months in length and if you're a good employee
there is usually an offer to renew.
However, if you're not afraid of a little hard work and getting to know people,
working onboard a cruise ship can be an experience of a lifetime and in some
cases life changing. The benefits of working onboard a cruise ship are endless.
Which is why it is the most sought after employment in the tourism industry.
Although you will be working hard, you will have many opportunities to visit
various countries and experience the life of other cultures. In addition to
exploring eye capturing destinations and taking in the sights and sounds, you
will have the chance to earn an attractive salary. And what's more is you'll be
able to save money! Since your accommodations and food are always paid, the only
money you will need to spend will be for your personal use
Where you would be traveling to obviously depends on the cruise ship in which
you become employed by.
Some of the most frequented destinations are: Alaska, Caribbean, Bahamas,
Hawaii, Bermuda, Mexico, Panama Canal, Canada, Mediterranean, Europe, South
America, China, Australia, Italy, Greece, Indonesia, India, and Tahiti.
