Working on a cruise ship or as a flight attendent?

If you only plan on working a year as an F/A - don't bother. Right out of training, you will be flying Reserve and not making much money - seniority is the key

If you're part of the crew, your quarters will be on the crew deck. Employees are not housed on passenger decks.

You won't get a job on a cruise ship without at least 2 years of experience in the job you're applying for.

with a college degree and a second language what kind of job can I get on a cruise ship?

Dishwasher, Utility....and you will be stuck in the crew decks - this is where you live and spend your free time.When in passenger areas you are working.

A college degree and a second language is nothing special and you need a minimum of 2 years of work experience in the position you are applying for onboard a ship.

If you are working on the ship you will live in the crew decks. If you do not want to do this then you will probably be better working as a flight attendant.
