How to Work on a Cruise Ship | Picking a Position

[@burningblue1254]

I am a 3 stripe officer on a cruise line. Best jobs on the cruise ship; navigation because you work your watch and then you are off. Plus the women love you. Art auction and shops people. They are not crew and they work for companies like Harding or Starboard cruise etc. They make big money. An art auction manager can make more than the captain. Plus the shops are closed at port as are the casinos. Ship band and entertainers. Time off and nice job. . Cruise director and staff. Long hours but fun. Medical can be ok too unless there is a novovirus outbreak etc. Shore excursions.

[@rachaeladler3631]

Former casino dealer here. I never worked with anyone in my department who had never dealt before. I worked in a casino in my country (Costa Rica) for six months. You get more time off than a lot of the other departments since the casino has to be closed while you're in port.

[@MrSHURIKENCHO]

Would you mind giving me more info about where and how you applied?

[@owenstv]

Can you give more information on dealers?

[@DEXA88]

Let me put it like this usually they hire people as either barman waiter or the other lower positions that ppl from poor countries take . You are not going to get hired as front desk or high end job on most cruiselines unless you are native english speaker and speak a couple more languages . To them in most cases your education dosent matter unless you are applying as a specialist to do a specific job or probably medical staff . For security job you need to be ex police officer from either India or Irsael or Philipines based on the cruiseline because to them its important to be able to communicate with your teamates in their native language . Most cases positions available are assitant waiter bar boy storekeeper (loading day is murder) cook ( hope you are from india ) or you will rot in that kitchen or housekeeping (average worktime 12 hours ) you have 15 min to clean a room and 30 rooms a day. There are other possibility to find job on the ship 3rd party - casino slot machine operator ( loading coins - currency into the machine ) Shop atendant or if you speak several languages positions in the art gallery are always available

[@Marcus-ll2bt]

I can give you more information on the Deck Officer side of things. I’m from the U.K. So basically you do what is called a cadetship which is a three year program where you can either work for a specific company or through an agency firm who will sponsor your cadetship so you get a small amount of pay, you get onboard experience and if you choose the right company, you might get a job. You want to make sure you choose a good company who hires you out of the gate so ferry companies and cruises companies are a good bet. You do practical safety courses and it culminates with an oral exam with a ships captain to give you your license. If anyone has any questions, fire away 👌

[@justarandomperson9249]

I'm also from the Uk . Would it be the same if I wanted to go into the security side of things?

The best way to get tips is to become wait staff in the dining room for the assigned dining so you get the same guests every night. Work the 7 day cruises because generally people leave the same tip regardless of the length of the cruise. You can make $150 - $200 USD a week tax free.

Furthermore you may think theres a chance to start low and get promoted ? - guess again the company that hires you litteraly has not intrest in getting you promoted because they will have to find another sucker to fill your job. Low end job best you can hope for is getting promoted to a waiter or seniour waiter or at most gally suppervisor . Expect to work 12 hours a day every day for up to 8-9 months unless you are a staff member which get rotated on 6 month basis.
