Work On A Cruise Ship!
First, let me introduce ourselves so that you'll understand exactly
why we know so much about finding work on board cruise ships...
My name is Derek Baron. I'm originally from the city of Boston and
I've been working on board cruise ships as a Tour Manager for over 5
years. In fact, I've now worked for five different cruise lines, on
board a total of 10 different ships that have sailed to every corner
of the globe.
My wonderful friend, Liz Aceves, is from Mexico City and she has
worked on board two of the most amazing cruise ships herself
(including one that continuously sailed around the world!), where
she's held several kick-ass positions, been promoted 4 times and has
literally saved enough money to live comfortably anywhere in the
world.
In fact, we both spent our vacations traveling to Europe, South
America, Asia and Australia, all from the money we saved during our
contracts. But we'll get to that in a moment!
First, let us answer the question...
WHAT EXACTLY IS 'SHIP LIFE'?
Every single crew member on every single cruise ship around the world
uses the term 'ship life' to describe the unique and rewarding
lifestyle involved with working and living on board cruise ships.
And when it comes to 'ship life', Liz and I (as well as practically
every other crew member you'll talk to) both agree that OUR
EXPERIENCES HAVE EXCEEDED ALL OF OUR WILDEST HOPES AND EXPECTATIONS.
If you ever meet us personally, you'll see that we pretty much don't
stop talking about how lucky we've been to have discovered such a
rewarding form of employment.
As we keep saying:
“What other job requires you to travel all over the world AND
allows you to save a ton of money at the same time?
There simply is no other job that offers these
kind of life-changing benefits.”
Seriously. Who wouldn't want to be living that kind of dream?
THE REALITY OF 'SHIP LIFE'
Of course, we understand that it may be hard to believe that working
on a cruise ship is as good as we just made it sound. So let us set
the record straight. If you want to know whether or not _YOU_ SHOULD
WORK ON A CRUISE SHIP, consider this:
WORLD TRAVEL – You'll visit and explore (yes, you will have free
time to explore) such parts of the world as Alaska, Australia, the
Baltic, Canada, Caribbean, Central America, Eastern ">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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
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. 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...

WHAT OTHER CREW MEMBERS ARE SAYING...
"I always say that working on cruise ships as an Entertainment Host
was the ultimate job. Who else would pay me to hang out with
passengers all day, travel the world and meet amazing people? BEST
EXPERIENCE EVER... AND I was able to pay off all my debt in a couple
of contracts and then purchase my first home!"
- Leah Bolton, Vancouver, Canada

-------------------------
If you're perfectly happy with your current lifestyle, perhaps ship
life isn't for you. But if you want to open yourself up to a world of
new opportunities, there is simply no better way than to work on a
cruise ship. The truth is...
Once you walk up the gangway of your first ship,
your life will never be the same.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Here is the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Applying for
cruise ship jobs is not the same as applying for a job on land. The
rules are different, the process is complicated and to put it simply,
it's near impossible to do on your own. WITHOUT KNOWING THE SPECIFIC
STEPS INVOLVED, CRUISE LINES JUST WON'T NOTICE YOU AND YOUR RESUME
WON'T EVEN GET A FIRST GLANCE.
Of course, there are “Cruise Agencies” floating around that make
some pretty wild claims, such as making guarantees that they'll get
you a cruise ship job within a few weeks. Of course, all you need to
do is pay them a ridiculous amount of money first. And unfortunately,
the sad fact is that once you part with your money, these agencies
often do very little to help you at all.
Actually, this is something that Liz and I both discovered
first-hand...
Before I was ever hired, I spent weeks on the internet trying to
learn how to find work on a cruise ship before finally deciding to pay
$250 to an online cruise agency. Sure, my gut told me not to but I
wanted to work on a ship so much that I fell for the scam. This agency
promised me that I would have a job on board a cruise ship within
three months. As you might imagine, three months came and went and not
a single cruise line had even contacted me. And of course, the
'agency' never replied to any of my frustrated emails.
Liz also used a cruise ship recruitment agency the first time around
and the agency actually lied to her about the salary that she would be
earning. When she arrived on board the ship to start her first
contract, it was too late and she had to settle for 50% of what the
agency had promised. Basically, these agencies receive commissions
from the cruise lines for every crew member they hire and so they
often tell applicants whatever it takes to get them to sign up with
their agency.
SO IF YOU WANT TO WORK ON A CRUISE SHIP...
* Forget about unofficial cruise ship recruitment agencies.
* Forget about paying for access to 'private' cruise ship job
databases that don't really exist.
* Forget about paying someone who claims to send your resume to 300+
cruise lines.
.
There is just no reason for you to waste any time or money on any of
that stuff.
ALL YOU NEED TO LAND A JOB ON BOARD CRUISE SHIPS IS TO KNOW EXACTLY
HOW THE ACTUAL HIRING PROCESS WORKS. Only then will you be in a
position to get hired.
And even better...
If you really want to enjoy the unbelievable and endless benefits of
'ship life', it doesn't get any easier than having experienced crew
members guide you step-by-step through that process.
The good news is: HERE WE ARE!! :)
\"THE ONLY GUIDE YOU'LL EVER NEED
TO FIND WORK ON A CRUISE SHIP\"
WHY DID WE CREATE THIS GUIDE?
Well, for a long time, both friends and friends of friends would
contact us several times per week asking us to help them find work on
a cruise ship. After all, once they heard our stories about what 'ship
life' is really like, suddenly everybody wanted to follow in our
footsteps.
So, Liz and I would email back these long replies, full of detailed,
step-by-step instructions, job descriptions and specific cruise line
contact information.
And...it worked!! PEOPLE WERE BEING HIRED BY EVERY MAJOR CRUISE LINE
out there, and in a range of positions. We were thrilled every time we
received the good news because we knew that another person's life
would NEVER be the same again (in a wonderful way of course!).
Then it recently occurred to us that instead of writing email after
email, we could take all of our insider information and knowledge and
create a cruise ship employment guide that will instantly benefit
anyone who reads it. After all, OUR GOAL IS TO HELP AS MANY PEOPLE AS
POSSIBLE ENJOY THE SAME BENEFITS OF SHIP LIFE THAT WE'VE ENJOYED and
such a guide is clearly the answer.

"Deciding to work on a cruise ship gave me the change I needed in my

dreamed of! It's definitely been an experience of a lifetime,
especially when I think about all of the countries I've visited and
great friends I've made from all over the world."
