JOB ON A CRUISE SHIP
December 20th, 2009The Pluses and Minuses of Doing Cruise Jobs
Cruise jobs can be fun in many ways, you can make money, but it is also not every one’s cup of tea.So many have a great desire to work on cruise ships, so many more have already done it over the years, with great success, seeing the world meeting people and having great adventures.
Cruise ships jobs can be very rewarding especially if you like being around people and enjoy the interaction. People (the passengers) come on cruise ships to have fun, get away and enjoy themselves. The hours can be very long and tough on you, depending on the cruise job you are doing. Its like pretty much anything in life it is what you put into it, what you get out. Homesickness can be a problem, but you get over it pretty quickly, you are too busy working, having fun and adventures. You find the days can fly you don’t even know what day of the week it is, just when the home port is coming up.
Depending on your cruise ships jobs, most of the jobs are tips/gratuities based, unless you are in an admin job or on a set salary. Tips can be pretty good, especially as the passengers are on the cruise ship to have fun and are relaxed and generally feeling generous. So there is a great opportunity for earning good money, no rent to pay, or food to pay on board. It can set you up, for if you wanted to open your own business one day, but you do need to save, some people tend to go crazy and spend in all the wonderful ports.
Yes cruise employment is not always every one’s cup of tea.
1. If you are constantly seasick and feel like crap.
2. You are not a peoples person and have to constantly deal with people.
3. You do not like confined spaces, small cabins.
4. The discipline that goes with working on cruise ships, the boat drills, cabin inspection and regulations.
If you have always desired to work on cruise ships, imagine one day you look back and think I regret not having tried it. You can even make a career out of cruise jobs, there are loads of opportunities on board for promotion, even changing departments once you are on board.
It can be a wonderful life opportunity, the travel and meeting different people from all nationalities (the crew), it is like a huge life lesson in many ways. The seasickness is not such a problem nowadays with the huge cruise ships out there, they all have stabilisers, but some people still do suffer from that (you get those arm bands etc). At the end of the day it is a huge adventure in more ways than one, think of all those great people you will meet and the wonderful memories you will have.
Hi, I worked on cruise ships for 18 years, enjoyed it thoroughly, seen the world, I can recommend it to anyone that wishes to try it. I now live at home in Cape Town with my Senegal Parrot Syd, doing online work.

Joys of life on board a cruise ship, doing cruise ship jobs
September 26th, 2009Its not so affordable for everyone to go on cruise ships, so the best option is to get a cruise ship jobs and you get the best of both worlds. You get to see the places and experience what cruising is all about. The best is you get paid for it, so you get to see these places for nothing.
Working on cruise ships have there plusses and minus of course. The minuses are of course you have to be a happy camper all the time, as that is what is expected, these people are on vacation and they only want to enjoy themselves, so lots of smiling or else they tell you to smile. The plusses are of course getting to see all those places whether the Caribbean, getting to go to the beach all the time or doing Europe and visiting all the amazing things there, the Vatican, leaning tower of Pisa, Venice, the casino in Monte Carlo, seeing the Palace in Monaco to name a few.
Getting to do shopping in all these ports as well, eventually you know where to get the bargains, where the markets are located. Picking up some nice nicks knacks for family and friends back home. Or getting to eat out and experience the local cuisines in the different places. Whether Spanish tapas or Mexico tacos. fajitas, the list is endless. Some of the favorite places for crew in Cozumel, Mexico, is Pizza Rolandis it has changed name, its does the best food, wonderful calzones with a tomato paste on top, you never get tired of it, it has a wonderful courtyard, lovely greenery and plants, or the cheapy indian shack in St Maarten, not really a shack thats what its called.
Living on a cruise ship is something you need to adapt to, firstly every cruise you get to do passenger boat drill, which is mandatory, you have to get the passengers to muster in a line, then do the lifejacket demonstration. Plus you have a crew drill once a week as well. Then its about sharing your cabin with someone you don’t know possibly from another country than you. Sharing the cabin means sharing the shower and toilet, getting organized so you both don’t want to shower at the same time. You have to learn to respect each others cultures and ways. Joys of cruise ship jobs, getting along….
Making sure you have clean uniforms, you can take uniforms to the chinese laundry on board, your personal laundry, there are washers and dryers in sections of the cruise ships for use, some even make you put quarters in to use. There are normally irons with ironing boards as well for use. For eating on board, some ships have crew messes, staff and officers messes, or some have crew/staff mixed and officers separate. Some of the crew messes predominantly cater for the Philippino crew and caribbean crew. So at times you are lucky if you get a ship with good food, most of them always have salads. Mostly the food is quite good. Obviously you have to go during the scheduled times to eat. They also normally have slop chests for buying toiletries, and all the necessities you need. There are medical facility for crew, also the hours are posted. They have regular parties or barbecues for crew. They also organize crew tours, outings to different places or on catamarans, which can be great fun.
It is like anything in life it is what you make of it. The greatest experience of your life doing cruise ship crew jobs…..so get that cruise ship job vacancies.
