   It really depends on what position you are looking to get into.

   Applying through the cruise lines websites will pretty much get you nowhere. Unless you are applying for a job at the corporate office.

   I was hired for Royal Caribbean through the following site:

   http://www.cruiseshipemployment.ca/

   It’s a a hiring partner for several different cruise lines. There is also C-Deck and Cast-A-Way. All three of these places are pretty similar as far as what they do.

   If you are not what they are looking for, you won’t hear anything back from them though. And most positions, have pretty specific requirements as to what they are looking for.

   If a company wants to charge you, it’s not legit. Cruise ship companies pay these hiring partners to staff them.

   NCL America also has hiring sessions throughout the country, during the year. I was offered a position at one of these as well.

   In most cases, you will not get a response if you are not what they are looking for. For most positions they have pretty specific requirements as to what they are looking for.

   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.

   CARNIVAL:
   http://www.carnivalcruiselines.com/

   PRINCESS:

   CUNARD:

   HOLLAND AMERICA

   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

   ROYAL CARIBBEAN:
   http://www.royalcaribbean.com/gohome.d…..

   AZAMARA:

   CELEBRITY:

   NORWEGIAN:
   http://www.ncl.com/

   DISNEY:
   http://disneycruise.disney.go.com/dcl/…..

   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 have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
