Imagine having a fun and exciting job traveling to exotic destinations such as the Caribbean, Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico, the Bahamas, Europe, the Mediterranean, or Tahiti.

Accommodations are comfortable, and when you become an officer or manager you will have your own cabin on a higher deck, with a porthole or window. But of course you won't be spending much time in your cabin! 

How you spend your off-duty time is up to you. Imagine being able to enjoy hiking around ancient monuments in Rome, eating at a French café in Martinique, walking along a glacier in Alaska, or sunbathing on a sandy beach. 

What this means for you is that many cruise ship jobs are available. As long as you have the desire, you can get a job on a cruise ship. For nearly all entry-level positions, no prior cruise ship experience is necessary. 

If a cruise ship job sounds like the career of your dreams, the FabJob Guide to Get a Job on a Cruise Ship is for you! In this e-book you will discover how you can get started and succeed in this exciting career.

Her cruise experience includes managing the water sports and scuba programs for cruise lines including Renaissance Cruises luxury yachts and Princess Cruises.

The guide covers topics of vital importance to anyone who wants to get a cruise ship job, including: 

Cruise Ship Job Opportunities

To ensure you are considered for a job you want, you'll need to know what positions are available on a cruise ship. This is important because different positions have different requirements and different people to apply to. 

While it's obvious what is involved in some cruise ship jobs (e.g. Bartender), you may not be familiar with what is involved with all the other jobs on a cruise ship. For example, the generic job title Cruise Staff is used for a job you may be interested in. Here is a brief excerpt from the guide about this particular job (you will find more detailed information in the guide):

"Every ship has a cruise staff, loaded with talented, high-energy individuals essential to the guests' entertainment and participation in cruise activities. Your day may include lip sync contests, sock hops, pool Olympics, limbo and dance contests. 

These are some of the most rewarding, fun-filled jobs to have on a cruise ship, and the entry-level opportunities are vast."

"When I was hired for my first ship contract on the Crown Princess, my first working cruise was a Valentine's Day voyage in the Eastern Caribbean. Our ship was featured on a live feed for the Oprah Winfrey show, as they televised the renewal of wedding vows for passengers onboard while guest-host Captain Steubing looked on. Not a bad start to a career at sea!"

"I purchased your guide a month ago. I am excited to let you know that I've been offered a position as the Cruise Program Coordinator/Administrator for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines starting next week! My first six months will be spent in Mexico, Hawaii and the Panama Canal. I am sure it would have taken me an extensive amount of time to secure a position without the information you provided about how to prepare my resume and the addresses of where to send them. Your guide is a valuable resource which I will carry with me on my travels. Aloha!"
