Get a Cruise Ship Job!
By Neil Maxwell-Keys

It is always refreshing, if not an outright rare pleasure, to find a self-help book that actually provides enough relevant information to do the job. They are few and far between, and all are necessarily, given the noise level in book selling, self promoting. This book is an excellent example of how a little thought and a straightforward approach can combine to produce a book that is to the point, useful, and fun to read.

More than 130,000 people of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds are employed in this industry. People who’ve quit the rat-race of home and are enjoying incredible life experiences, earning good money with none of the hassle of normal everyday living. No bills to pay, no cooking, no cleaning and no commitments (other than their job, of course!)

What's more, they've discovered that it's a great way to travel the world for several months at a time - without the hassle, expense and danger of doing it alone.

Questions about cruise ship jobs rank high on the "most popular" job inquiries. This book answers them. So right out front let me say that if you have even a remote fantasy of applying for a cruise ship job, you should read this book first. It will save you time, effort, anxiety, and if the life really isn't what you think it is, some heartbreak. One of the things this book does best is to give a vivid account of life while working on a cruise ship, and how it can vary with the type of job you have. After all, there is no such thing as a cruise ship job--it takes a variety of skills and work situations to meet the needs of these floating cities. The hours you'll work, the privileges you have, and even where you live, can be affected by your role on board, and the authors address this well.

The authors, who have worked on cruise ships and run a crew placement company, show the most direct path from where you are now to that cherished berth. Along the way they explain how cruise ships are organized, the expectations concerning your behavior on board, how you can pay bills back home when you are away for months at a time, and much more. I have to say that they addressed every issue I could think of and then some, and with authority.

The authors have also prepared supplemental material, including a first rate discussion of the kind of resume (CV) you need to prepare for the jobs--what to put in, what to leave out and how to focus it. And there is a resource guide for those who have been offered jobs on a cruise ship to help you prepare for it--including job contracts, travel arrangements, and medical exams.

A very thorough and commendable job, and one that fills an information gap that needed to be filled.
