Hope this Helps!
Thanks for the feedback. Very clear & concise.
Happy to help!
Just got my first contact with NCL, thanks for the advice!
Congratulations! I hope you have a wonderful contract!
Welcome to the brilliant. I hold a diploma as a qualified seafarer on the surface in fishing vessels and a navigation book, but I could not find anyone to help me or find me a job there
This all sounds so cool accept for the roommate and small shower part lol where do I apply?
You can apply on the career page of most cruise ship company websites! :)
I got a job with American Cruise Lines. Super excited about this opportunity as a deckhand. Training starts next month on the 16th.
That’s awesome!! I hope you have a fantastic contract!
@@theworkingexpat Thanks I really appreciate it.
Oh does it include training??
Either way, congrats!!
@@apollonius_rising yes it did include training and it was a great experience. I completed the 28 week contract with that company.
@@mauroslife That is amazing, man! I’m so happy for you!
So now you know more about this stuff.. is ACL the only one that includes training? Seems to be rare in the cruise industry!
What do you think about someone having a part time remote job while on the ship? Would it be possible to work as a ship staff member for 30-40 hours a week - what specific jobs did you find that were the least demanding hour-wise? Looking for something where I can fully switch "off" and not be on standby
Hi,
If you are looking to have another job while working with a cruise company, you do have the option to apply for a land based job. You would still be working for the cruise ship company, but it would be more like your normal 9-5 and it would not be out at sea.
If you are looking to work ON the ship, then I do not think it would be possible to also have a part time job. I don't know anyone who worked on ships and had another job, even part time, at the same time. Unless they owned a business and someone else was doing all the managing for them back home.
When you work on a cruise ship, you don't have "off" days. So you are working 7 days per week and well over 30-40 hours (especially during the high seasons, like summer and the holidays). You work A LOT. When you are free and not getting off at port, then you will probably end up napping or wanting to relax.
If you do work your way up and get a higher position, you may have a day off, but you also have more responsibility and would have to be on call more often. You also have more to deal with.
I would say the jobs with the least amount of hours would be in the entertainment or youth department. However, that is only from my own woking perspective, with the companies I worked with and the ships I worked on. Position responsibilities and expectations can vary from company to company and ship to ship.
You also have to be lucky enough to be put on a ship with wifi/service. Most of the time when you are out at sea, you wont be getting service. If you are on a ship with wifi (which is defiantly likely with all the constant updates) you may not be able to get it from your room, and you may have to pay for it.
I know what wasn't the answer you were hoping for, but I hope I at least answered your question.
Hi! Which jobs are considered "staff" and which are "crew"? Thanks for your video!
Hi! It is kind of strange because technically everyone working on the ships is crew.
“Staff” jobs were any guest facing jobs where part of your job is to interact with guests, such as performers, youth staff, cruise staff, musicians, art dealers, ect…
“Crew” jobs are the jobs where you are more behind the scenes, such as working in the galley or in housekeeping.
Definitely doesn’t seem fair, but that’s how it was with the ships I worked on.
If properly live by the pool 😂😬
I'd* not if 😬
@@susancedeno3882 Haha I got what you meant! Definitely a nice place to spend some down time.
