   You should not be dealing with the "we’ll find you a job" groups! To get a job with a cruise company, go to the company’s web site and find the link about jobs. There is never a fee to apply directly with a cruise company! Further, the cruise companies do their own hiring and don’t deal with the groups that want your money.

   I have not worked on a cruise ship but I have talked to many people who do as I have done more than 20 cruises. But working on a cruise ship is no vacation, its hard work with long days for an extended period.

   If you want to work on a cruise ship you need to start by going to the cruise line web sites. There you will find a link to jobs, employment, human resources or some such link that will give you information about their positions. Some cruise line, like Royal Caribbean, use hiring partners (people who do the screening and interviewing): https://jobs.rccl.com/jobs/rccl_jobs.nsf

   http://www.royalfoodandbeveragecareers.c...
   Find this link and then click on "careers" , then "hiring partners".

   DO NOT use any other web sites that require you to pay a fee to register or get job information or referrals. Some cruise line sites may have current vacancies they are recruiting for.

   Here is some information and links:

   Carnival Cruise Lines is the parent company for a conglomerate that includes Carnival Cruise lines, Holland America Line, Cunard Line, Princess Cruises, Seabourn Cruise Line and Costa Cruises.

   Royal Caribbean International cruise line is the parent company for Royal Caribbean Cruise lines, Celebrity Cruise lines, CDF Croisieres de France, Azamara Cruises and Pullmantur cruises.

   ROYAL CARIBBEAN:

   Another thing to do if you are interested in working on a ship is to contact the concession that run the shops on the ships like the souvenir, gift and clothing shops. These are the companies that hire the beauty shop/spa employees for ships. Below are links for you.

   Stop going to those places that "find you a job" and go directly to the cruise line website such as Carnival, Princess, Royal Caribbean etc. As a warning though, one of the previous responders was correct. As a worker on a cruise ship you will spend at least 6 months on ship (sometimes 7 depending on your contract), there are NO "days off" that means you work a shift every single day. The pay is very good and you have free room and board but unless you have no family and don’t plan on having one for awhile then it’s probably not a good idea. You do get to see the world, but be forewarned that most of the crew on board are NOT american (90% are not) and most are young so the chances of getting hired on if you are a middle aged American are slim. Of course most Americans are too lazy to work 7 days a week for 6 months straight too though.
