What are you doing to locate the best cruise ship job vacancies? Is your strategy working so far? If not, you may want to rethink your course of action. You may be interested to know that the vast majority of cruise line jobs are filled by word of mouth, or they're offered to proactive individuals who have already sent in their resume with cover letters to the cruise lines. In fact upwards of 97% of these jobs aren't even advertised online, or anywhere for that matter. This means, many opportunities may be slipping through your fingers without your knowledge.

If all you've been doing is looking around online to find cruise ship employment, you're severely limiting your reach.  These positions are often unique to a specific cruise line, and sometimes individual cruise ships. So they can fall under the radar pretty easily. If you keep in regular contact with a particular cruise line by taking the above approach and sending your resume to them every month or two, you'll more likely get noticed, and the cruise line will notice your persistence.

Cruise ship job fairs are another great way to find job vacancies. Many of the super liners like Norwegian or Carnival Cruise Lines frequently conduct job fairs. They are held in many locations around the world quite regularly.  Actively attending these job fairs can land you a job rather quickly, especially if you connect well with one of the recruiters. 

It's also very advisable to use a recruiting agency. Like most jobs in the travel industry, turnover is quite high due to the fact that many who work in the industry view working on a cruise ship as an "adventure" of sorts. So cruise ships are always on the lookout for employees to fill positions. Not only that, but cruise ship job agencies are often run by ex cruise workers, so they have contacts you certainly wouldn't have. This can be extremely useful if you play your cards right and impress the agency. Just make sure you're aware of all the fees (if any) that you'll need to pay the agency for their services.
