Things Can Change Fast

Remember to share this blog with your friends and always read the older posts for lots of cruise job information and current contacts.

So, I have been corresponding with a prestigiouos 6 star cruise line in Europe, hoping for a shot at the CD positon, even as vacation relief. The guy I have have been communicating with for 7 months, but never met, has just up and left his post for another career. I received a form letter from his replacement advising me blah blah blah CV on file blah blah blah six months blah blah blah.........Its like playing the game Snakes and Ladders; you get all the way up to the top line and them, BAM! you snake slide aaaaaall the way to the bottom again.............

It is neccesary to put alot of time, energy, expectation and emotion into each job enquiry, so it sucks when the possibilites fall part so quickly.
Thats why when someone offers you something you say yes, you jump at it!

For me, this is my Karma getting back at me for saying no to Princess Cruises way back when. I thought I wanted to retire and live a "normal" life on land. When they called I said no - it ws a polite no, but no nonetheless. I am quite sure they will never hire me again. Their tone was always plesant, but the answer was always the same - nothing available at the moment.

But thankfully, there are many great cruise lines available to all, and I have moved onto many great shipboard experiences in great positions. So if you've had an unfortunate cruise ship experience, it will not hold back your future.

What did I say about saying NO????

Remember to share this blog with your friends and always read the older posts for lots of cruise job information and current contacts.

A good person was recently asked to join the brand spankin' new, big ass ship from Royal Caribbean, called the Oasis of the Seas!!!
...and he said no! OMG call Britney........sorry C.H. ;)

In his defence, he has to renew a visa, but please, before you start approaching cruise lines, make sure you have everything in place except your medical obviously, because it differs from cruise line to cruise line. Cruise line positions can come slow or they can come very fast, and when they do, you have to be willing to say YES!

So remember the golden rule, Never Say No!!!! Even if you are not completely ready - and who is anyway, say yes, and then run your ass off to get it done!

Also, come closer, no, I mean real close...and listen carefully, this is very important; take whatever friggin' ship and intinerary they give you - make their job easy, do a great job onboard wherever you go and the cruise line will love you. Then you can start making requests after you successfully complete your first contract.

Remember the only answer is yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like a drunk girl in the crew bar; or a drunk boy in the crew bar - ok that was out of line...or was it...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

What's the first thing a Steiner says when she wakes up in the morning?
"So, do all you guys work in the Deck Department?"

European Cruise Ship Jobs

Remember to share this blog with your friends and always read the older posts for lots of cruise job information and current contacts.


If you want to explore the European cruise ship opportunities, visit the offical association member website and peruse the various cruise lines.
www.europeancruisecouncil.com

Click "membership" then look at both cruise operator members and associate members.

Good second languages would be German, Spanish, Italian, French.

I did a relief contract as a Cruise Director with a Europe based cruise line - it was my best experience to date - and they pay in Euro - sweet!!!!

In fact as we speak, I am in negotiation to return to Europe full time, after my remaining US based contract is complete.
