Hey Priya – You clearly have the right mentality and seems like you’ll be on your way soon enough
I’ll be very interested to learn how it goes for you but I’m quite confident that it will work out perfectly and you’ll end up traveling wide and far as well!
Hi Earl. I am a general manager of a restaurant with 15 years experience in the food and beverage industry and am wanting to get a job aboard a cruise ship. Where would you suggest I start in my search?
Hey Terry – I would check out my eBook – How to Work on a Cruise Ship – as it provides every single thing you need to apply for any position on board the 18 major cruise lines. It gives you the step-by-step instructions as well as detailed advice to ensure you have the best chance possible of getting hired. And of course, if you have any specific questions once you have a read, just let me know and I’ll help you out as best I can!
