Why Casino Cruise Jobs?

Now why do Casino Cruise Jobs?

Why on earth would you want to swap your nice comfortable land based casino for casino cruise jobs?

Why leave your nice comfort zone to move into such a disciplined strict life with lots of restrictions being a dealer on a cruise ship.

It is not all the fun and glory as you think, sorry to be such a drag but the fact of the matter is its not some fairytale it’s the harsh real world of cruising and the passenger comes first. The added extras like boat drill the crew ones and the passenger ones. Some cruise lines its quite a pain in the butt depending on your dear deck officers in charge, but like all things you get the odd nasty one, but all the others were wonderful.

What you have to do extra on Casino Cruise Jobs

Of course at the end of the cruise you have the pleasure of doing the slot count as a dealer, which is sorting all the money from the bva’s then running it through the money counting machines “glory”. You are assigned a task, which can be either, on some ships the coin boxes from below, or dropping the bva (where the cash goes into, a metal box) with the key. Afterwards it is tidying up putting things back where they belong. The slot count takes quite a while; you also get to do the table counts on a regular basis, also counting the money. So a lot more involved than you would have normally doing casino cruise jobs.

You also get to do welcome on board (embarkation duties), not all the time and not on all ships. The larger vessels have some added duties of course, which is understandable as they carry more passengers so jobs have to be split up to facilitate the smooth running of things.

Passenger boat drills on embarkation day as well, assisting them at their muster stations, life jacket demonstration, and feel like those lovely airhostesses feel when they do one. It’s like anything in life its what you make of situations, make it fun and it wont be a drag, enjoy doing casino cruise jobs, go far.

When you do Casino Cruise Jobs the hours and all

The sea days can be quite long, and you do a split shift, where you work in the day and then you will have a couple of hours off or more to have a nap, shower, eat and all that. You come back and do the rest of your shift; sometimes you may have a table count afterwards. Transatlantic or re-positioning cruises can also involve a lot of sea days, so a lot more hours involved. There are days where you start earlier and finish first and then other times where you might start a big later if you are on the table count or closing, but that might be irrelevant depending on business.

Why on earth you would do Casino Cruise Jobs

Well for starters to experience all those amazing places, people that open your eyes to that fascinating world of ours out there that many never get to see but on the television and Internet.

You get to learn about different cultures from the people you work with, some cruise ships are like a united nations, with crewmembers from all little nooks and cranny’s of the world. My last ship I shared with a girl from Nepal, where else would you get that experience. Whether you enjoy that is a matter of your personal choice you have to adapt to all situations and people from the passengers to your fellow crew, staff members and officers.

You get to go on some amazing shore excursions, whether sea kayaking in St Lucia or rafting in Jamaica, pretty cool if you think some people never get to see these places. If you are lucky to do Europe you can get to see all those old buildings and experience the history and the life of say Venice, go in a gondola or see the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican in Rome. Some people never get to go there at all, so wow how awesome is that.

You can have an exhilarating social life as well, make friends with all kinds of people, you might even find the love of your life. Many people I know have had that amazing experience, some have families now and have moved land based.

Like all jobs everything has its pluses and minuses, you have to think what exactly you are doing this for. Whether it is for the money, the travel, need to escape from a land-based casino as you have been banned for driving for a year. At the end of the day everyone has his or her own magic plan, vision or goal to accomplish. We are all unique individuals, we all think differently thank goodness for that.

I for one 18 years as a croupier and various positions in the casino and worked on all kinds of cruise ships and got to see some amazing places. I even got to the Galapagos Islands, pretty awesome for someone from South Africa.

Of course there is always promotion and moving up the ranks doing casino cruise jobs, on your way to being that casino manager on a ship.
