Cruise Jobs
|
Recently, the United States armed forces has been plugging “joining
up” as a great way to see the world and gain valuable life experience.
While there is no doubt that these things are true, there are a couple
of other ways that you can see the world and gain great life experience
without putting your life in harms way on a daily basis. One of these
ways is getting a job aboard a cruise ship. There are many different
exciting careers to choose from on a cruise ship, and while it is a
full time position, meaning you are probably not going to work just
forty hours a week, you will most likely receive free room and board,
free on ship medical care, and you will get to travel the world and
meet exciting new people, all while getting paid.
In each cruise ship there are three departments that all of the positions
get divided into: the deck, hotel, and engine department. Each of these
departments has a supervisor. The staff captain runs the deck, and is
also the person that the hotel manager and the chief engineer report
to. It is unlikely that you will be able to get a job as an officer
or captain without a degree from a naval academy. However, there are
several entry level jobs that you can get with the help of the Seaman’s
Union in the deck and engine. Most of the entry level positions will
be in the hotel department, which consists of several departments. The
Hotel department encompasses all of the following:
• Administration
• Purser’s Office
• Cruise Staff
• Entertainers
• Food Department
• Bar Department
• Dining Room
• Housekeeping
• Medical Staff
• Salon
• Gift Shops
• Photography
• Casino
• Shore Excursions
• Tour Office
Most people work their way up from an entry level position, but people
fall into cruise ship careers from all different walks of life and backgrounds.
Obviously, someone from the medial department is not going to work their
way up in the salon department without some additional training. However,
there is room for growth in almost all of the departments. One of the
most important things about working on a cruise ship is to have an outgoing
personality. In a fast paced travel environment like a cruise ship,
it is important to be outgoing and flexible. With that in mind, you
will be able to go far.
People who have worked on cruise ships often highlight the benefits
of working on them as travel, sightseeing, meeting new people all of
the time, having free living expenses and recreation, and getting to
know their co workers in a close knit environment. While you often need
to make a commitment of a minimum of four months, there is often a break
of four to six weeks before your next contract, and you have no living
expenses while on contract so you have quite a bit of expendable income
while on your break.

How
I get free airline tickets & travel on a shoestring
budget...
|
 Myth:
Cheapest fares are always found online.
 Truth:
Wrong. Many of the wholesale airline contracts are prohibited
from being marketed on a website. If you're only searching Expedia,
Orbitz, Travelocity and the like, you're not seeing all the
really discounted fares that are available.
Myth:
Buying direct from the airlines is good.
Truth:
Wrong again. You just eliminated the possibility of buying a
consolidator airfare, which is almost always cheaper than anything
the airlines offer, and, the cheapest airfare are sold
only by travel agencies.
Myth:
The airlines sell off unsold seats cheap at the last minute.
Truth:
This myth can cost you big time or the cancellation of your
plans if you're not willing to pay the exorbitant price the
airlines want to extort from you. Believing this myth proves
you have no clue about the airlines' distribution system.
