Discover Cruise Line Companies



So many Cruise Line Companies

Whether you are a prospective cruise line employee and trying to figure out which cruise line companies to apply to for that cruise ship jobs. The main thing with all the cruise lines is that they want people that are willing to please, to keep there passengers happy.

Try one of the Cruise Line Companies

Trying to find one of those particular Cruise Line Companies around, which cruise line brand to choose. Though at the end of the day Carnival owns a lot of them under one umbrella. Royal Caribbean has also got a few under there one.

One thing is for certain all the cruise lines have one thing in common they all want to keep there paying passengers happy, so they can keep coming back repeatedly. The happy passenger will tell all his friends and family what a wonderful cruise they had, which in turn encourages other people to cruise with that line and voila you got some bodies to fill your ships with. Which in turn keeps the cruise economy ticking over happily.

If you are looking for that cruise line jobs, you need to have that willing to please and happy disposition.

So how do the Cruise Line Companies keep passengers happy

Well it all starts with the employees, from shore based, who the passengers sees first at the embarkation point at the port. The next employees are the crewmember welcoming them on board the cruise ship. The Welcoming Cruise Line staff need to be jolly, happy, smiling and helpful, first impressions do count; we all judge a book by its cover. Especially a person new to cruising is quite intimidated with the huge cruise ships of today, finding their way around. A friendly helpful crewmember can just make them feel so much more comfortable.

The next thing is the food, when your tummy is full all is good, people on cruises love to stuff there selves they are on vacation. Of course the entertainment and the cruise staff for all the activities in the day by the pool, or all the game shows, all great fun, just makes the cruise. Most people will go to the casino as well, the average person has gambled, but for the newbie’s it is good if the dealer made them feel comfortable, chatting and smiling at them, or helped them if they are not familiar with certain games.

Shore excursions, especially in Europe, there is so much to see that people like to do the tours.

Summer Seasonal Alaska Cruise Ship Jobs

Cruise Ship Jobs

Cruise Ship Jobs

 

Cruise Ship Jobs

Working on a cruise ship is an excellent way to make money out of Alaskan tourism. Alaskan cruises are some of the most popular vacations to take and cruise lines sail the waters of Alaska in both the summer months as well as in the winter. Therefore, while seasonal employment does exist in the summer for cruise ship jobs (when cruising is most popular) it is also available in the winter. Those willing to work longer than just one season are in incredibly high demand because the cruise lines aren’t required to re-train dedicated employees. Those who stick with it for longer than one season often move up to higher earning positions.

Cruise ships, because of their sheer size have a variety of positions available. Thus, at any given time there are almost always open jobs. The cruise ship industry makes millions of dollars in revenue each year and the field is certainly growing. Therefore, working for a cruise ship represents an excellent way to earn money and see the world. If seasonal employment is your only concern and you are simply looking for a good way to earn money, there is no need for you to apply to cruise lines that run specifically out of Alaska. You can apply at any time and be on your way to seeing the world in no time! Some potential employees however, are eager to see specific parts of the world (like Alaska for example) and thus, apply for cruise lines that sail in one specific area. This is equally as common and while limiting yourself to a cruise line that sails only one area of the world might in turn limit your job opportunities, procuring a job on a cruise line is infamous in terms of good seasonal work and high earning potentials.

Cruise ship jobs are like fishing jobs in many ways. The hours can be long and sleeping conditions tight and isolated. One of the largest complaints from cruise ship employees is the hours in which you are working. Because most jobs require employees to stay on the ship it can begin to feel as if you are working 24-hours a day. However, the long hours always translate into high paychecks and like fishing jobs, the potential to earn is incredibly high because your employer often pays for most of the living expenses.  Therefore room and board, food costs and medical expenses are either all paid, or represent very low costs for employees.

Also like fishing jobs, some of the best cruise ship jobs are unadvertised, so finding the right one can be tricky. Sending out applications and researching the industry are the best ways to procure a cruise ship job. Knowing the positions you are qualified for, and applying well in advance will increase your chances of finding the seasonal employment as well as the paycheck of your dreams.

Best sites to find cruise ship jobs, genuine employment!?

Cruise Ship Jobs

I am looking for genuine, web sites that offer cruise ship/hotel employment. I have come across a lot that ask for a 'fee' upfront!

Many thanks

The best and most genuine websites for cruise ship employment are the cruise lines themselves, or the sites of their concessionaires (for the shops, Spa, Casino)

You should stay away from those which ask for a fee upfront. There are legit agencies - which will charge once they have found a job for you.
Everything else - just forget it.

You need to apply to the cruise lines for a specific job, which requires a certain amount of previous experience - depending on what you want to apply for.

It also depends sometimes on your nationality, if it is better to go through an agency or direct to the cruise lines.

If you let us know what you want to apply for, what your past work experience is, I am sure we can point you in the right direction.

If you like to get in touch with me, feel free to do so via Yahoo Answers e-mail
