Most cruise liners are based out of foreign countries. I am not sure where you are located but these companies such as Carnival Cruise Lines have local offices but they may not be near you. A good idea may be to visit your local Travel Agent and ask them about positions.They work with these people on a daily basis and may have some more information.  Or It may be as simple as visiting a cruise line company's website your friend's father is interested in and find the "Careers" section of their site.  Expect a thorough background check.

Just walk into various places that you go to and ask if theyre hiring. If they are, ask them for an application.

SALES!!\n You already have sales experience- if you were a server in the restaurant, you should know how to be friendly and make people feel like they are being taken care of...\n\nNOT retail sales-\n\nhow about a sales position for a magazine, or a food company, or here's a good one- a huge catering company- you already have food handling experience, use the skills that you have aquired. oh, this is great too, a POS (point of sales) computer touch screen system to restaurants (like micros or restaurant manager)\n\nand many sales positions you can make your own hours, or at least have flexible hours. you should believe in what you are selling, and it should be something that you are excited about, that will make you more successful. some salespeople make mad money, like six figures or even more, it all depends on what you are selling. and some places offer paid training.\n\ngood luck!

First ...There are so many factors to consider,\n\n-where do you want to work? locally, close to the ocean but in the states, out of country?\n-full time/part time .. which do you want to work?  which is available?\n-what are the payment policies of the companies where you want to work?\n\nSo, the best way to find out is pick your spot and call around the shops and ask.\n\nThis is almost like asking what a good accountant can earn?  Where? What are your skills? What's your experience?  What company?  and so on.\n\nWhen I was an instructor some guys from my dive shop and others on the island would earn hourly rates, a cut of the dive fees, or a cut of the business .. just depending on the shop and their seniority.\n\nSecond ... "a really good under water job".    I used to instruct on St John in the Virgin Islands.  On a fabulous day, I might get 4 dives in (2 morning, 1 afternoon, 1 night).  On a great day, I would get 3 dives.  On an average day, I might get 2.  Then there were the days when I had to work on the boat, repair tanks, clean bilges, fill the spare tanks, etc .. and got 0 dives.  And then there were the bad weather days, slow days, no guest days, etc.\n\nOver 2 years I did get 500+ dives in, but realize that I was working 6 days a week.  That's roughly 600 days.  So, on average, I got 1 dive per day .. one 30 to 60 minute dive per day .. on average.  The rest of the time is REAL work.  I don't mean to burst any bubbles here ... I loved my time in the Caribbean, and being a scuba instructor was great, but unless you fall into a senior spot with a shop that is always busy with multiple boats and dives per day, then you probably won't be spending a ton of time in the water.

Cruise Line employment is fun, but with all jobs, it has its ups and downs. It also depends on which cruise line you work for. I worked for Holland America Cruise Line and a small river cruise in China.\n\nSome of the "ups" include: traveling the world, meeting some amazing crew members that become your friends for life, free food, and the chance to save money. \n\nSome of the "downs" include: being away from home 4 to 12 months at a time (depending on position), small cabins with roommate(s), and long work hours.\n\nMy experience has changed my life. Once you start, it's tough to stop! Yes, the hours are long, but you hardly notice! The crew becomes your family and the ship is truly your home away from home.\n\nThe site below helped me in my first search and helped me get a job with Holland America.

Fly to Mackay or any mine town in Queensland or the rest of Australia and go to the local pub when you get there.  Ask a few of the locals or even the bartender,  you will get a job within a day,  they are screaming for people to work at the moment.  Good luck its hard yakka  ")

You must be diligent and patient with your job search. Needless to say you must explore all openings at each and every Hotel chain in Canada, a foot in the door initially at any position might lead to the exact position you want. Have a resume and business card ready and distribute, call, and visit the major Canadian hotel chains. I would start off by looking at some exclusive high end hotels that may not necessarily be a chain but specific to a province or territory. Best of luck and happy laundering!

The website of the cruise line your booking with should have a brief description of the ports of call and also most lines will let you view their shore excursions and book them online.  I have been to all these places and are very interesting.  Ketchikan was my favorite.  You can also go to Borders and find a cruise book that will tell you all about what to do at those places

My sister worked on a cruise ship and its not as easy and fun as it looks.  She worked long hours and on the days the ship did not go into port she had to work even longer.  She did get to go to some exotic places but she did not always get to leave the ship because she had work to do.  Every 10-12 days, they would pick up new passengers and start over again.

sometimes after applying it may take awhile to get a response.  I used to work onboard and it took 6 months before I heard from two of them, using their online applications.  An option is to find an agent that specializes in getting people jobs on ships.  I am not sure where to find them but they do exist.  Norwegian Cruise Line Ships that run in Hawaii hire entirly Americans and you might have a better chance with them.  The position you are applying for will effect the hiring process because certain things like Casino, Spa, hotel, bar and shops usually hire outside the US and have recruiting agency's in other countries.  So hopefully you (if your american) your interested in entertainment/activities position otherwise it will be a rough going.

Go up and ask for an application..fill it out and see what happens.  Try several places.  I worked first doing catering, then at Arby's when I was 14....both were fun, and it was nice to have the cash!!!\n\nGood Luck!!!\n\nP.S.  some good tips....if you don't hear back within a few days, call and ask if they have reviewed your application, and if they are still hiring.  Express your interest.  This shows initiative!  If you do this (even though it can be awkward), it'll give you an edge over other applicants.  If you get asked for an interview, dress neatly, speak well, and keep your answers customer-focused.
