A Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship in Costa Maya, Mexico

I live in one the most beautiful places on this earth, Cape Town, but I always had a dream, to work on cruise ships, which I managed to fulfill and see almost all the places I intended to, just missed Machu Picchu. I will still get there, just not on a ship.

I started my life on cruise ships doing cruise jobs (in the casino) through a friend working out of Limassol, Cyprus on Louis Cruise Line doing cruises to Israel, Egypt and the Greek Islands. I did 2 ships with them, 2 stints on both. It was to be the start of a long life on cruise ships, eighteen years in total….yes some people do it for a few years and quit, I kept going. I loved seeing all the new places, well eventually they were not new.

The French cruise ship the Mermoz

I got a taste of what life on cruise ships were about, working out of Cyprus, after a year I got a job on a French Cruise Ship the Mermoz owned by Croisieres Paquet. I worked for a casino concessionaire Casinos Austria. The Mermoz, sadly, does no long exist, she was sold to strangely enough to Louis Cruise Line, scrapped her after a few years.  The Mermoz was by far my favorite cruise ship, even after all those years (18), she was a classic old lady, very French.  I saw practically all the world, working on board her. Thank You Mermoz for the wonderful experiences of seeing the Galapagos Island not once but twice, Cuba, India, South America, Norway even my home town Cape Town, and then some really remote places as well, St Helena Island midway into the Atlantic, that is just a few. They even had wonderful musical cruises, theatrical ones, where they would go to places in old amphitheatres in Greece and do shows there, or have classical show on board.

I even did a short stint on a ferry boat between Greece and Northern Italy, Anek Lines during the winter, lovely choppy seas of course. The money was good on there I worked for an American man who had the concessionaire on there.  My life changed, I then went to work out of New Orleans doing the Caribbean for Commodore Cruise Line, no longer exists. It was fun doing the Caribbean, going to the beach, wonderful experiences.

I returned to Europe and got a job with an English Casino Concessionaire, Southern Games based in Fulham, London.  I did quite a lot of different ships with them, the Portuguese ship the Funchal, which I did Brazil for the summer season three times, one of my favourite places is Brazil, the people just have so much energy, the place has a real buzz about it, the music. The Funchal would do seasons out of Sweden, the Norwegian fjords, beautiful, then Mediterranean, she kept moving, was in all different languages as well. I did some ships out of Palma de Majorca, one strangely enough yet again a Louis Cruise Line ship (haunting me) that was owned previously by Croisieres Paquet the owners of the Mermoz. It seem strangely intertwined, I never did figure that out. I also did the wonderful cruise ship Marco Polo joining her in Singapore coming back to the Mediterranean.

I ended my cruise history by doing 8 years with Royal Caribbean International, doing three of their Celebrity ships, wonderful cruise line as well.  The Royal Caribbean ships are getting bigger and bigger, I did three of the Voyager class one.  I highly recommend working for Royal Caribbean, check out their website.

So at the end of the day, dreams can be fulfilled, what you put your mind to you can do…..

Cruise Casinos — Cruiseship Casino Jobs

As cruise ships proliferate, the major cruise lines are constantly looking for qualified staff to fill a variety of positions in their shipboard casinos. More than 3,000 dealers and assorted personnel are now employed in these floating casinos, and while a friendly, outgoing personality is a clearly stated job requirement for cruise ship dealers, many seem genuinely happer in their work than a number of dealers we have come across in land-based casinos.

The major fringe benefit of the job is the obvious: the chance to visit a variety of exotic destinations that cruise passengers pay thousands of dollars to see. And when ships are in port (where the ship’s casino is almost always closed), most of the casino workers generally are free to go ashore and sightsee, snorkle, sunbathe (or even visit the local casinos as a player).

Another major attraction is the ability (for those who choose) to save most of their pay and tips, since room and meals and pretty much everything they need while onboard ship is provided at no charge.

Onboard ship, casino staff generally live two to a small cabin, and dine and relax in crew areas. (Be sure to check: one major cruise line bunks casino four and even five to a cabin on some of its ships — not, from several first-hand accounts, a pleasant experience.)

Unlike many cruise ship employees, casino staff often are allowed to use the ship’s guest recreational facilities in their spare time.

Cruise casino staff generally enter into a four-to-six month “contract” to work on a given ship, after which they take a few weeks off before entering into a new contract to work on the same or another of the cruise line’s ships.

For the most part, the major cruise lines are looking to fill casino positions with men and women with casino experience. Dealers in particular are expected to have experience in dealing several table games.

Among the positions available on cruise ships are:

• Casino managers and assistant casino managers;
• Casino dealers (blackjack, baccarat, roulette, craps, poker);
• Casino technicians (responsible for maintaining slot machines and other casino devices);
• Casino cashiers;
• Casino hosts.

Nursing Jobs on Cruise Ships, Forging Good Friendships With Nurses From Around the World : )

Nursing jobs on cruise ships – your great opportunity to work with a group of excellent nurses from all over the world!

Worldwide nurses come with all kinds of skill bases where practices may vary, and you can also learn a great deal of cultural medicine from them.

The greatest experience enjoyed by all cruise ship nurses is the joy of making many good friends that last a lifetime.

Cruise ship provides one-stop medical care and treatment center for the crew and passengers onboard. This medical center or called infirmary is running by registered nurses (RN), under the direction of the ship’s physicians.

Cruise ship nurse gave me a very good impression when I was working onboard a cruise ship, I myself found that they are very professional, courteous and helpful.

Every cruise ship nurse has good critical care experience, the ability to work independently, good assessment skills, and very good interpersonal skills as the job is very public relations oriented.

You must love to work with all kinds of cultures, languages and different medical viewpoints; because nursing jobs on cruise ships, you are actually meeting and dealing with people from all places in the world.

Passengers and the crew look up to the ship’s nurse for most of their health needs; especially with the crew who are away from home for months, you are primary care for them. You are like their friend, relative, sister, mother and nurse!

Cruise ship nurse is either hired directly by cruise line medical departments or through concessionaire companies servicing their line.

The medical center onboard is an urgent care environment where both crew members and guests are diagnosed and treated. The medical personnel encounters health care issues ranging from occupational health, primary care, and urgent emergency care.

Although most of the time the illnesses and conditions will be minor, all cruise ship nurses are trained in critical care or ambulatory nursing as they must be fully prepared for anything while cruising at sea. Nursing on cruise ships, this profession is kind of like frontier medicine.

Many cruise ship nurses do it for the experience, they like the challenge, the travel, the chance to work in an extended role. The nurse ability can think on the run and problem solving are also very important.

The medical center provides medical treatment for crew and passengers during clinic hours, and other times for emergencies and medical needs.

The physician sees those who require or request medical consultation, performs crew medical exams, orders and performs diagnostic tests, and prescribes treatments and medications.

Most cruise ships have all the medication or a legitimate substitute to be in stock, from aspirin to sophisticated equipment over 600 items onboard. Otherwise the passenger will have to buy it in port.

Cruise ship nurses are special, you will get worldwide recognition by being thanks and respect directly from the crew and passengers!
