How to Work on a Cruise Ship
This allows you to save up to 95% of every paycheck. Where else can you save $10,000 - $20,000+ in less than six months? AMAZING SOCIAL LIFE – Sure, you may work between 40-60 hours per week (over 7 days), but you'll have plenty of free time to live it up while on board.
And when you're on vacation, you'll have plenty of money to visit your new friends in their home countries! LIFE-CHANGING OPPORTUNITIES – Working on board a cruise ship is more than a job, it's a valuable path to future opportunities.
The cruise line will even pay for your flight home. In the end, you'll actually be working less and saving more money than if you were working on land! If the above sounds like a work environment you may be interested in, keep on reading because it gets even better...
2-4 MONTHS OF VACATION! – What other job gives you up to 4 months of vacation per year? Yes, that's right, up to 4 months per year! Think about all of that time off that you'll be able to spend any way and anywhere you wish.
You'll learn about their cultures, celebrate their festivals (watch out for the Filipino New Year!) and enjoy a social life like you've never imagined.
You'll be able to do a ton of global networking with other crew members, with locals in every port of call and with the passengers, and you never know where your conversations will lead! Through networking on board, I've been offered a job in Greece, a free vacation to Costa Rica and a business partnership on the stunning Caribbean island of Barbados.
Get all dressed up, take in a Broadway-style show, listen to live bands and dine in the five-star passenger restaurants...so that you can feel just like a passenger from time to time! INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIPS – Working closely with hundreds of other crew members from around the world guarantees that you'll form long-lasting friendships with some amazing people.
More importantly, you will have almost ZERO expenses as your room, meals and even medical coverage are provided for free.
You'll have access to crew bars, crew lounges, dining areas, internet cafes, hot tubs, swimming pools, a crew gym and even a crew-only sunbathing deck, not to mention endless (and usually crazy) crew parties and theme nights! SPECIAL PRIVILEGES – Depending on your position, you'll be allowed to socialize in the passenger bars, night clubs, lounges and theaters when you're not working.
