I understand that you have to be willing to work very long days, sometimes 14 hours. You have to be very good at dealing with people. And my understanding is that you have to be fluent in another language in addition to English. On the cruises that I have been on, I could count on one hand the number of Americans who were on the staff. My first cruise, there was one. He was an entertainer. On another, it was the hotel manager, and the cruise director, and that was it. From what I was told by a Canadian, and South African employee, there are very few Americans working on cruise ships because of the income tax liability and structure. |

Usually for Cruise Staff they like strong public relations skills as well some type of theater experience as well as dance experience, or something similar. Something where you are performing in front of people and feel comfortable in front of people.
Be prepared to work 7 days a week 8-12 hours a day for the duration of your contact, which is 6 months on average.
I have just started the process of getting hired with Royal Caribbean. |
