Do you want to learn more about this exciting industry? Since firsthand experience is the best, why not book a Caribbean cruise for your next family vacation? Most cruise lines offer competitive prices along with a selection of cruises and destinations. Also consider inland cruises as a less expensive option.
In many cities located near water, such as Chicago, there are cruise tours running up and down the city's lakefront and the Chicago River. Some even provide entertainment and dinner shows. Many talented performers hone their skills before "trying out" with the bigger cruise lines. Does your city or town offer something similar?
Some cruise lines hire college students for some of their entry-level positions. Don't forget to apply early, as these jobs are quickly filled.
If you live near a cruise line office or headquarters, contact media relations or human resources for a tour of the department.
