1. All of the cruise lines operating out of the US have jobs information and a link on their web home page. So for a starting point you need to read what they present on their web sites and then contact the cruise lines directly. On the cruise lines' web sites you will find a link to jobs, employment, human resources or some such link that will give you information about their positions. The Royal Caribbean site is really good for getting information about their jobs and applying. Just go to their web site and click on the link at the bottom of the page that says, "JOBS". it will take you to a lot of information. And there are no fees or charges for information. Some sites even have current vacancies they are recruiting for. Several cruise lines have new ships coming out soon so opportunities will be there. Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Disney and some others will have new ships launched in the next couple years. So the cruise industry is growing and there is a future in doing cruise related work. Here are some links: Carnival Cruise line is the parent company for several cruise lines including Princess, Carnival, Holland America, Cunard, Seabourn Cruise, and Costa Cruises. Carnival's Corporate offices are located in Miami, Florida. So if you contact carnival you can also ask about the others. CARNIVAL: http://www.carnivalcruiselines.com/ PRINCESS: CUNARD: HOLLAND AMERICA COSTA: Royal Caribbean is the parent cruise line for its partner cruise lines, Celebrity, Azamara, and some others. Their corporate offices are located in Miami, Florida. So in contacting RC you can ask about the others ROYAL CARIBBEAN: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/gohome.d..... AZAMARA: CELEBRITY: NORWEGIAN: http://www.ncl.com/ DISNEY: http://disneycruise.disney.go.com/dcl/..... BEWARE OF WEB SITES ADVERTISING CRUISE SHIP JOBS THAT CHARGE A FEE !!! They will take your money and you will not necessarily get a job.
