Cruise jobs for Americans?

Hi. I have a bachelor's degree in 2 foreign languages and love travelling, but my current job keep me inside a cubicle all day. I am doing some research on careers where I can travel and use my language skills. I know of a couple of people who work on a cruise ship (not American citizens though) and they love their jobs and have seen the world. I'd love to do something like that, but I'm not sure what type of position they offer for US citizens and how much the pay would be. Does anyone have any insight about this? Thank you so much!
It sounds like you would be a great candidate to work on a cruise ship! I have heard that the Norwegian Cruise line is currently the only one that has cruises beginning and ending in the US without a stop in a foreign country. This is on their cruise ship that travels through the Hawaiian Islands. Because of this, I think there is a law that requires that they use only people who are either US citizens or are those with legal resident status (green card) to work in the US. Because of this more limited pool of potential employees, this might give you your best chance of getting hired. After getting that initial hire and gaining some experience you could probably apply for positions on other ships or even other cruise lines with destinations around the world
