Looking for Cruise ship jobs? Are the web site for real?

Ok, been looking into working on cruise ships, and found a handful of websites that advertise help, for a cost.





They all look extreamly dodgy.





WWW.CRUISE38.COM





The above one comes up a few times with different names. Does any one have any experience?





Cheers
Looking for Cruise ship jobs? Are the web site for real?
I work on the cruise ships and I would suggest as some of the others have said, contact the main cruise lines and find out more. Also on the company web sites there are buttons to the vacancies, but all are not apparent, some are called 'about us' etc. so keep searching. I also contacted a company that supplied a very good guide book with job profiles, how to get work, contact addresses etc and you got a bi-monthly news sheet with all latest vacancies. They are based in Glasgow, so plug it into a search engine, they were helpful. The service does cost a few quid but in my mind well worth it.


But be prepared for some long work hours and not large pay as it鈥檚 made up with tips in the areas you are looking at.





Just done some research for you as it was a couple of years ago I used them and the company can be found on www.cruiseservices.co.uk





The other thing to think of is 10 hours a day is a good day in some jobs on the ships with 11 and 12 being more like it, with the accommodation and bar work, other jobs have less work time, or if you have experience in something and get offered a supervisors position, or go for administration on the Pursers side of life, the working hours are less. but the company I mention will check your CV and suggest the options.








Good Luck



Reply:ALL cruise ship companies HAVE A WEB SITE... so you can GO TO THEIR SITES and get information on the jobs and openings they have and IT'S FOR FREE. If you are too lazy to check out the individual web sites and have to rely on some commercial site to force feed the information to you.. then YOU MUST PAY FOR IT... if you want it for FREE... then do a little research on your own and get the same answers FOR FREE.
Reply:i would try the cruise lines websites themselves. I went to the site you mentioned, You must pay for their service of helping you locate this "cruisejob" "career",So it would be of concern.


good luck on your job search.

Reply:I would call or go directly to the cruise lines. They will let you know how to go about getting employed in the industry or getting you in contact with human resources.

  1. There are tons of sites out there that are offering cruise ship jobs but not all can really promise a position for an applicant as there are tons of applicants trying to get a cruise ship job themself.
