One of the best places on cruise ships to work the ever popular is the Casino – more free time to go ashore than other departments. You have the casino tables,cashdesk or the slots, either one is a great place to work. It is obviously about the smooth running of the operation. You have the Casino Manager who is in charge (some of the bigger ones have a marketing manager above), then the Assist. Managers, CashDesk Managers,Slots Manager,Supervisors, Dealers, Cashiers, slot technicians.So there is quite a variety of jobs available – casinos have always had a bit of mystique about them, though it is not always such a wonderful environment to work in, people smoke etc.

To get a casino job on a cruise ship you do need a few years casino experience behind you, for cashiers normally working in a bank or change bureau, to apply for a cruise job. In other countries you apply to your hiring agent for Royal Caribbean. If you enter Royal Caribbean.com in your browser then search for careers.

After if you have passed you get to do an interview with someone either from Miami. The reason for a table test is that some people can bluff and say they have dealt the games but maybe someone has shown them on a ironing board how to deal blackjack or something similar. Once all is done and you have been put in there database, you will get contacted by your hiring agent to let you know. He will organize for you to go for a full medical, for you american c1d1 visa, and generally assist you with your air ticket. You have to pay for the all of the things mentioned.

Depending where your cruise ship will be based out of Miami or Europe, you will receive all contact numbers, instructions, you generally stay in a hotel the first night before joing. The first day joining the cruiseship is normally pretty scarey, lots of forms to fill out, safety talks, uniforms, meeting the management of the ship, getting to your cabin that will be your home for the duration, unpacking. You will generally have to work the first night. The first week is settling in and finding your way around the cruise ship, safety training galore. Once that first week is over you can relax and enjoy yourself. https://jobs.rccl.com/jobs/rccl_jobs.nsf/shipboard http://tuxedorentals.rccl.com/jobs/hiringmap.nsf/HiringPartners.html https://jobs.rccl.com/jobs/rccl_jobs.nsf/shipboard#jo

I’ve been on multiple websites & every single one seems to be phony, or a dead end. Any ideas??

I have not worked on a cruise ship but I have been on about 20 cruises and I usually talk to the staff, and usually about how work is going. A few things I have learned are that if you are hired you have to sign a contract to work for 8 or 9 months straight. And that means 7 days a week and usually 10 to 12 hours a day and sometimes with a split shift that starts early in the morning and does not end until 10 or 11 PM. There are no Saturdays and Sundays off and you may get to go ashore in port stops on on occasions but not at every stop. After you complete your initial tour then you get 2 or 3 months off before you are to report back to the ship.

All of the cruise lines operating out of the US have jobs information and a link on their web home page. So for a starting point you need to read what they present on their web sites and then contact the cruise lines directly. On the cruise lines’ web sites you will find a link to jobs, employment, human resources or some such link that will give you information about their positions. And there are no fees or charges for information. Some sites even have current vacancies they are recruiting for. Several cruise lines have new ships coming out soon so opportunities will be there. Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Disney and some others will have new ships launched in the next couple years.

Here are some links:

Carnival Cruise line is the parent company for several cruise lines including Princess, Carnival, Holland America, Cunard, Seabourn Cruise, and Costa Cruises. Carnival’s Corporate offices are located in Miami, Florida. So if you contact carnival you can also ask about the others.

COSTA:

Royal Caribbean is the parent cruise line for its partner cruise lines, Celebrity, Azamara, and some others. Their corporate offices are located in Miami, Florida. So in contacting RC you can ask about the others

BEWARE OF WEB SITES ADVERTISING CRUISE SHIP JOBS THAT CHARGE A FEE !!! They will take your money and you will not necessarily get a job.

Another thing to do is to contact the concession that run the shops on the ships like the spa, photos, souvenir, gift and clothing shops. Below are links for you.

I tried applying for a cruise ship job but i think i applied for a (cruise ship) job that didn’t exists. Please help me find a recruiter.

http://www.rollingpinjobs.com/

I am 18 years old and I am taking time to make some cash before i start college. i looked into some jobs and in the end, i have heard cruise ships are awsome to work on.

I Really want some ideas for what cruise ships people preffer to work for and how to apply. also, perhaps some know easier ways of getting cruise ship jobs than others… that would be awsome.

The big cruise companies (Royal Carribean, Princess Cruises, Carnival Cruises etc) all have pretty high criteria for successful applicants. You will find that you MUST have previous shore based experience for your chosen role at sea. Even if you do have shore based experience but no ship based background, you should expect to start in a level entry position. Working on a cruise ship is very different to a land based equivalent which is why cruise lines look for sea based experience first.

If you want to become a Junior Assistant Purser you would need a year or two experience as a hotel receptionist. Even if you were a Senior Receptionist or even a Reception Manager on land, it is highly unlikely that you would be offered a ship based position of the same seniority and you will start at the bottom of the ladder again. Having said that promotion is rapid if you are good at your job.

If you want to work in housekeeping onboard a cruise ship, again I would imagine that you would need a year or two land based experience in a hotel of a comparative four or five star standard.

It really depends what job you want to go for, which department you want to work in. Also bear in mind that cruise contracts are typically six months – so dependent on how long you have before college starts will affect your success in getting a position.

I don’t know of any easy way to get a job on a cruise ship but do not fall for any of there internet scams that are so prevalent, the ones that ask you to pay money up front. From experience the best way to go is direct to the cruise lines themselves or send your CV to their legitimate recruitment agencies which are based throughout the world. Use the web to find the email or postal addresses for the cruise lines and recruitment agencies, just don’t give anyone any money as it’s usually a scam.

Larger ships offer more opportunities to meet people but the smaller cruise ships can offer a better standard of living.

Rgds.

I’ve noticed that majority of front line staff in Cruise line jobs are caucasians, and the Asians do all the dirty work like housekeeping, cleaning, laundry etc. Is this the norm?

No it is not the norm. They are hired and trained for each job that best fits the person. Some if you talk to them do not want the so called front line jobs because they either do not want or like dealing with people.
I have been on 19 cruises and have seen people of all colors doing different jobs and all were happy.

i dealt with 1 agency for cruise ship since may n still nothing,no jobs n no promises ,funny part i have paid my money for their service.n every time i check them,got stories,some1 plis help with good agency.

What kind of job are you looking for? You can go directly to Harding Bros in the UK and they have lots of jobs in gift shops onboard a variety of cruise ships.

Once onboard as a shoppie, you can apply as a Purser or something else directly via the Hotel Director or Chief Purser. (That’s how I got my job!)

But you will need to complete a full contract as a Shop Assistant first…

Best thing – it won’t cost you anything to apply!
