Creator's Key Takeaways

ideally what you want to do is get a job directly through the cruise line because you will normally earn more than you would if you went through a cruise ship recruitment agency

if you are from an impoverished country and you do want to work on cruise ships but you are going for a more specialized role... you will have a higher chance of getting a job directly through the cruise line

if you want to be able to earn more money on cruise ships then don't go through a cruise ship agency because you'll be uh you'll be paid in accordance with that country's law anyway

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Apply directly through the cruise line's website careers section to ensure pay is governed by the cruise line's registered country laws rather than a local agency's laws.
