Working on a cruise ship is like no other job - it's best suited for someone who's recently graduated high school or college and someone that is okay with spending from 4-6 months away from their friends and family. The benefits are huge - in most cases your rent, meals, travel and basic expenses are covered. This means you can save most of your income! Cruise ship crew members work 7 days a week, but do enjoy time between shifts to enjoy the ports of call and keep in touch with friends and family. There's a great video prepared by Norwegian Cruise Line America that covers many pre-employment FAQ that is available to anyone interested in this line of work.
