Cruise
Line Concessionaires
Most
cruise lines contract their onboard facilities such as gift shops,
salons, and casinos to concession companies. These cruise line concessionaires are separate
recruiting companies and any applications for employment should be
made directly to them.
When
employed by a cruise line concessionaire, they usually take care of all your travel
arrangements to and from the ship, as well as organize any necessary
visas. There are a few things you should ask before signing your
cruise ship employment contract. These
questions include:
-
How
and when you will be paid?
-
Who
will pay for your airline ticket and transfers to and from the
ship?
-
What
kind of shipboard accommodation will you have: passenger or staff
cabin?
-
Will
you have passenger or crew status? If you have crew status, you will
be expected to participate in boat drills.
-
Will
there be extra duties that you will be expected to do? Often these
extra duties include escorting tours or helping cruise staff with
bingo.
-
Are
there any formal evenings or theme nights for which you should bring
proper attire?
There
are hundreds of concessionaire companies and agents, so I have narrowed
the list to include only the largest employers. Follow the links to your
left. Do not send your resume to any of the following addresses
before visiting their websites. Do your research first and detail your
resume to what the company is looking for. This will significantly
improve your chances of shipboard employment.
