elcome aboard to new opportunities and your first step towards a new and exciting career. If you want to follow your dreams, travel to exciting places, meet new friends and interesting people, and then you have the needed material in front of you. The information provided within this manual will guide you in the right direction. The 2004 Cruise Line Employment Manual is my 6th Edition and by popular demand, I have expanded the International Section. The Cruise Line Industry and Concessionaires are constantly changing and the 6th Edition has been thoroughly updated to these changes. The Cruise Line Industry has entered the New Millennium as being the fastest growing mode of tourism in the world. As we speak, there are over fifty cruise ships under construction or on order. It is estimated that over 8 million guests book a cruise annually and by 2004, the projection is 10 million guests. The ratio between crew and guests is about 1 to 2, which means that a cruise ship with occupancy of 2000 guests requires approximately a crew/staff of 950 employees. With the growth in the cruise line industry, the chance of employment is excellent, if you know the correct procedure in obtaining employment. The purpose of this manual, is to “help you get the job you want, and travel the world and get paid for it!” The vessels can vary from Floating Luxury Resorts, Expedition Cruises, River Cruises, Sailing Ships and Private Yachts. The ocean liners are often called “floating hotels” and the jobs and skills required in a luxury hotel are also required on the ocean liners. The major difference between the “land hotels” and the “floating hotels” is the turnover in personnel is larger on the ships. Cruise Line employees work contracts from four to six months, go on vacation, get promoted, change ships, return to school, or take their savings and settle down on land. Whatever the reason may be, the turnover rate creates new vacancies and positions for perspective personnel. I have had the opportunity to visit ports-of-call from the Gulf of Mexico, Greece, Turkey, Caribbean Islands, Mexican Rivera, Central America, Panama Canal, South America, Baja, British Isles, Mediterranean, Europe, Africa and the eastern seaboard of the United States, from Florida to Canada. I recently completed a Six Continent World Cruise on the Queen Elizabeth II. I have played the casinos in Monte Carlo, attended the Cannes Film Festival, toured the Pyramids on a camel, explored the ancient Greek ruins, visited the Vatican, ate pasta in Sicily, drank fine wines in France, and on top of that I have eaten “Cheeseburgers in Paradise” and “got wasted away again in Margaritaville”. I was being paid for this! And so can you.

INTRODUCTION
In addition, the benefits and perks are excellent. The cruise line provides air travel en-route and homeward bound, and overnight hotel accommodations, if necessary. Room and board is provided, single stateroom or share a stateroom with a fellow employee; free laundry, medical insurance as required by maritime law, and reduced cruise rates for friends and family. Working for the cruise line is a great chance to save money, as your living quarters and meals are included and not deducted from your salary. More importantly, it is the people that you will meet; including both domestic and international guests and co-workers; that will result in many friendships. Sound exciting? It is. You can encounter this unique experience by applying to the Cruise Lines. Cruise lines hire employees directly through their human resource department and/or onshore department heads, supervisors, etc., placement/recruiting agencies or concessionaires. This is why you need this manual as a reference guide. I have done the work for you. If you prefer to work for only the travel, summer vacations, or make the cruise industry a career, there is a place for you. Remember, Cruise Lines are constantly hiring. Cruise lines also offer opportunity for advancement and/or placement in different departments. This manual will provide you with the correct information and procedures, and provide a format that will place your resume in front of the correct individual, who will call and invite you for an interview and inevitably offer you the job position you desire. This manual will also benefit the cruise line by informing the applicants of job descriptions, qualifications and duties. The manual is compiled from innumerable hours of research and my personal experience in the Purser and Entertainment Departments. It is intended for both the novice and experienced applicants. The manual covers resumes, cover letters, interview techniques, shipboard organization, job descriptions including qualifications and responsibilities, cruise line profiles, onboard rules and regulations, glossary of nautical terms, and websites. This information will guide you step-by-step and open the right doors. There is a position for everyone on a cruise line, from the Deck to the Stage. All you have to do is have a valid passport and take the following steps provided for you in this manual. Remember, “Don’t Give Up, Keep Trying” and you will get that job. Good Luck,
Jim Ross

Jim Ross, experienced cruise industry veteran, has been in the business since graduating from California State University, Chico, California in 1994. Jim’s book, 2004 Cruise Line Employment Manual, is catalogued from innumerable hours of research and his experiences in the Purser and Entertainment Departments. It is intended for the novice and experienced applicants. It is a must read for United States and International cruise lines’ onboard/shipboard job applicants. The manual includes: resumes and cover letters, job descriptions, cruise line profiles, concessionaires, recruiting agencies, application forms, interview techniques, shipboard information and more. Jim states, "I’m really proud of my sixth edition, 2004 Cruise Line Employment Manual, and the feedback from those who have gained employment by purchasing my Manual; beginning with the novice to the cruise line industry veteran.” Jim’s Tips on how to get that first shipboard job: "The key is information. You have to know how to present yourself for any specific position; this involves a carefully prepared resume, job description knowledge, cruise line industry information, salary expectation, etc. Most importantly, to whom and where to send your resume. Contacts! All of this is covered in my new 2004 Cruise Line Employment Manual. This information will guide you step-by-step and open the right doors.” Remember Jim’s advice, “Don’t Give Up, Keep Trying” and you will get that job.
