Bartending on a Cruise Ship

Working on a cruise is a fantasy for many prospective bartenders. We've all seen the great TV Commercials for the cruise lines showing the all the different activities on board from the fantastic restaurants, night clubs, boating, swimming, rock climbing, and shore excursions.

Working as a bartender on a cruise ship is a great way to see the world and get paid while doing it. Cruise lines are considered upscale establishments and therefore generally look for experienced bartenders or bartenders with professional school training.

Personal appearance, professional attitude and previous customer service experience are all important factors in obtaining a bartending job on a Cruise Ship.

If you want to get away from it all, Cruise Ships may be your answer.  There are too many Cruise Ship Lines to mention them all, but a few of them are:

• Disney Cruise Line
• Carnival Cruise Lines
• Princess Cruises
• Celebrity Cruises
• Norwegian Cruise Line
• Royal Caribbean Cruises
• Seabourn Cruise Line
• Windstar Cruises
• SilverSea Cruises

 Travel the World as a Professional Bartender

Destinations are great, most ocean cruise ships cruise the waters in the Caribbean, Bermudas, Mexico, Tahiti, and Easter Islands.  In addition, some cruise in Alaska, South Africa and Europe.

Working on a Cruise Ship is actually a job not a vacation:

• If you work on a cruise ship, you travel to many attractive destinations and see interesting places.
• Although you spend most of the time aboard, there are some chances to go ashore and see the sites.
• You meet people from all over the world and may forge some enduring friendships.
• You can earn quite a lot of money. Since you do not have many opportunities to spend the money aboard, you can easily save most of it.
• You get free accommodation and food. Moreover, you don’t have to pay the utility bills.
