5 Cruise ship jobs you can do if you don't have experience

Editorial Summary

The creator discusses five specific cruise ship roles that individuals can pursue even without prior professional experience. She emphasizes that for these positions, a strong personality and excellent people skills are often more valuable than a resume, as technical systems are easier to teach than interpersonal abilities. The first role mentioned is Guest Services, which requires patience to handle passenger issues but does not involve sales targets. Next, she covers Cruise Staff or entertainment hosts, noting that these roles require high energy and public speaking skills to engage large groups. The excursions department is described as a popular but high pressure revenue role that demands organization and emotional management. The creator also highlights the art gallery, which involves public speaking and auctions, and notes that a willingness to learn is essential. Finally, she recommends working in the onboard shops, particularly for first time crew members, because the evening work schedule allows more time to explore ports of call. She concludes by advising applicants to apply for multiple roles to get their foot in the door, noting that once experience is gained, transitioning to other departments becomes much easier.
