Cruise ship work?

Samsung

Hey folks,

I am currntly looking work on a cruise ship, all the sites i go to want to charge me 50 squid for reg. Im wondering if any of you board heads have tried or have done this before. Im wondering if they could point me in the right direction.
I have tried monster, jobs.ie etc and have come up with nothing.

Thanks
Sam

I believe Irish Ferries may be hiring some people. Minimum Wage however.

Scam Scam Scam, I gotta call today purporting I'd won a cruise holiday the ignorant computer voice wouldn't answer me if she'd be on it too, so i hung up after she asked for my cc details. The Sunday world newspaper used to carry an ad for those Cruise companies once i answered it but it looks like send us the €50 and we'll send you to the bottom of the sea.

Those agencies are scam all they do is send out a list of jobs on cruise ships and the contact details. just contact the lines themselves

Heard about it. It's very very very tough work. Think about the fact that each bunk taken by staff is very valuable space. Therefore least staff as possible. Therefore 14 hour days.

Yea, im just thinking of the money.
work on it for say 6 months and then go to oz with the money i have saved.
All i will miss here is rain and busy trains in the morning.

I just need to find a way to do it.

Knew a few girls who did it for a while....by the time they'd finished they hated it. Staff have to live by some very strict and intrusive rules

cruise ships operate under maritime law =no minimum wage and no restrictions on foreign workers,therefore they employ agnecy workers from asia etc at crap money.your not gonna make much money working for a fiver an hour or less that the agency staff work for.unless you have specific skills such as accountant doctor fitness instructor engineer you'll make crap money,so any semi skilled unskilled work is very badly paid.these agencies advertise for cruise ships making it sound so glamourous but its far from that.
the onyl advantage is that drink/cigarettes are duty free so when your off duty you probably drink all the time and see some of the world but no money!

Thanks Ron.
