I have worked for four different cruise lines in many different positions over a period of 18 years.  I started at the bottom and worked my way up to being part of the Senior Management Team and being involved in the hiring process.  This is a detailed guideline written from my own experience that you will benefit from.  Working on a cruise ship is a FANTASTIC experience and a completely different LIFESTYLE.   Discover how you too can have the opportunity to go places most people can only dream of.  This booklet aims to help you obtain a position on board a ship by giving you the best advice I possibly can, taken from my personal experience and the guidance I have given countless people over the years.   I give you the details, the links to the right websites, examples and so much more.  What you will also find here, is the honest truth.  No rosy picture painted... the naked truth. If you are prepared for the good and the bad, you will be more likely to succeed. I don't want to be one of those people who tells you all the pretty stuff to get you there. I'm not out to get you... what I am out to do is ensure you are prepared and that if this is really your dream, to help guide you to achieve that.
