| The links below will take you to two other pages... the Cruise Ship Job Descriptions Page explains what the various cruise ship job positions are. The Cruise Lines page provides links to cruise lines. These cruise lines have sections for employment opportunities, or careers. You can apply directly to these companies if you wish to find a cruise ship job on your own....good luck! |
But on a cruise ship, unless you’re a senior officer, you’re likely going to share your
cabin with another shipmate, or depending on the ship, another three or four
shipmates. You might find yourself in a humbly-sized cabin with one porthole a few
feet above the waterline. Privacy may be non-existent. You may have to shower and
shave quickly to make way for your shipmates waiting to do the same thing. You may
need to sleep when others aren’t sleeping. Others may need to sleep when you’re
awake. To stay in the good graces of your shipmates, you may have to acclimate
yourself to some lifestyle changes. This may include not clunking around the cabin
while others are sleeping. It can mean using a headset for your radio.
Cruise ship jobs are more diverse than other ships because cruise ships are
basically floating hotels that navigate from one port to another. While other maritime
jobs on ships tend to be thought of as deck or engine department jobs, cruise ship
jobs fall under additional departments such as housekeeping, catering, beverages,
pursers, security, casino to name a few. Cruise ship jobs include hairdressers,
jewelers, art and antiques sales people, newsstand cashiers, candy shop cashiers,
fast food cooks, fancy food chefs, bartenders, manicurists, chaplains, doctors,
lecturers and more. And you still have the standard compliment of deck and engine
department officers and crew who make these floating hotels go from one port to
another. Those traditional positions include captains, chief mates, chief engineers,
first assistant engineers, electricians, environmental officers, carpenters,
refrigeration officers, sanitation personnel and more.
Whether you find a cruise ship job on your own, directly through a cruise ship
line…or through a maritime recruiter, it’s important to realize that a cruise ship may
have nothing to do with your home country, other than the fact that it docks there to
embark and disembark passengers. Cruise ships are often registered in different
countries. So if your cruise ship uses ports in the United States and may be
obligated to comply with Coast Guard regs, things like OSHA, the Jones Act and
other United States laws might not necessarily apply, since the cruise ship might
not be a U.S. flag vessel.

With cruise ships, a job candidate needs to
remember that although the work setting
may seem like paradise, the job can be
demanding and tiring. Waiters, waitresses
and stewards can easily work away the
waking hours of the day, with a few breaks
during the off-hours of the dining halls. A
cashier or manager in the gift shop of a
cruise ship may work from opening time in
the morning… to closing time in the
evening.

The cruise industry recruits a
broad range of job skills, from
hotel, casino, security, shore
excursions, as well as the
traditional deck and engine
departments. Here is a link to a

cruise ship personnel and the
departments in which they work.

Small cruise ship, large yacht, megayacht, superyacht... sometimes
the boundaries between their proportions become a little blurry.
Ironically, some of the specialty cruise ships that operate on inland
or coastal waters are dwarfed by the new order of ultra large
yachts, despite the fact that one is technically called a cruise ship
and the other, a yacht. Although these vessels can share outward
appearances, the network for finding yacht jobs is not the same as
for cruise ships. There is a good-sized network for opportunities
Florida. For our now humble contribution in this area, which we
hope to expand into a more meaningful and powerful resource, we
offer Jobs on Yachts.

A cruise ship job can also mean living in tight quarters with other shipmates. A
first assistant engineer aboard a 120,000 ton tanker might have a single
stateroom, where she’s free to stretch out her feet as she pleases when coming
off watch. She might be able open the curtains to let in sunlight, pop open a
crunchy snack and put a Beach Boys CD into her stereo…or maybe play a video
game on her laptop. But on a cruise ship, the crew roster is large.

The funny thing about maritime jobs is that the same titles run across the board in so
many different sectors of the industry. A harbor tug operates with a captain, mate and
deckhand. Go to the 160,000 behemoth Liberty of the Seas (pictured above),
operated by Royal Caribbean Cruise Line and you’ll find the same job titles....

Yes, you’ll the job titles captain, mate, and deckhand. But you’ll also find a few dozen
other titles that you won't ever see outside of the cruise industry… like staff captain,
First officer, environmental officer, medical officer, sous chef, tepanyaki chef,
bartender, wine steward, laundry assistant, casino technician, youth coordinator,
Chief engineer, Refrigeration engineer, gift shop cashier, lifeguard and more.
