Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Cruising is one of the tourist industry's most rapidly expanding sectors, with cruise companies building new ships--and looking for crews to fill them. Cruise ships are floating towns and many of the skills required on land are also required at sea. Cruise ships need engineers, cashiers, hairdressers, waiters, shop assistants, gentleman hosts, nurses, port lecturers, social hostesses, photographers ... The list is endless, as Sandra Bow points out in Working on Cruise Ships, and for the right person a job on a cruise ship can be rewarding.

Bow explains practicalities like the application process and visa requirements. All kinds of shipboard jobs are described in detail and there are helpful lists like "Who Wears What?", "10 Things You Should Know before Going to Sea" and first-person accounts. Addresses of training courses, recruitment agencies and holiday companies are included.

Bow has worked for over a decade on numerous cruise ships, including the QE2, and knows her subject. If you're tired of your land job and have a hankering to go to sea, Bow will tell you how to do it. --Kathleen Keefe --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Essential Purchase!!, 12 Mar 2003
By Elaine Queripel (Nottingham, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Working on Cruise Ships (Paperback)
This book is must have for anyone even thinking about working on Cruise Ships. It contains a vast amount of relevant information from the kinds of jobs available (and what they entail) right down to a rough guide on expected salaries and accommodation while working on ships. My favourite bit of the book is the write-ups from people who actually work on Cruise Ships which tells you the way it really is, all the pro's and con's. An essential purchase if working on Cruise Ships is in (or might be in) your plans!!
