Get a Cruise Ship Job by Neil Maxwell-Keys is completely different, and quite frankly blew me away with the quality of the material. It was not boring by any stretch of the imagination and details like no other book exactly how to maximize your chances of landing that dream cruise ship job. 

Neil is an ex cruise ship recruiter for some of the worlds leading cruise lines. Who else would you want spoon-feeding you the nitty gritty details on EXACTLY how to get a job on a cruise ship as quickly as possible. Let me tell you, the competition for these jobs is fierce, make no mistake about it. It’s like trying to get a job in the entertainment industry, they are highly sought after positions. 

Neil covers everything you could possibly want to know about getting a cruise line job,  including how to research the cruise line you’re interested in, and which ones are the best ones to apply with.On page 17, he tells you 2 critical words you should absolutely know in order to get the job. Please make sure you read that if you’re dead serious about getting a cruise ship job.

Did you know some jobs on cruise ships require you to work upwards of 12 to 14 hours a day? Well don’t worry about that, Neil gives up the best jobs to apply for so you can spend the least amount of time actually working, and maximum amount of time enjoying yourself while soaking up the amenities!

He also includes real life case studies, so you can see exactly what it’s like working on a cruise ship before even making the decision to apply. After all, it’s a life changing decision right…

Probably the best part of the book are the contacts however. I’ve written extensively in many articles about how contacts can make or break your chances of landing a cruise ship job, considering the heavy competition. Neil includes a searchable database of all the cruise lines, concessionaires, and staffing agents, so you don’t have to go nuts finding these contacts on your own. In my opinion that alone is worth the price of the book.  How much is your time worth to you?

Essentially, this is a cruise ship employment package. If you need to know something in order to get a job on one of these things, it’s in here. There is no question about that. Neil did a fantastic job with this book! On a scale of 1 to 5, it’s a solid 5.

And I haven’t even gone into all the great bonuses he’s included such as a cover letter generator, resume and interview guidebook, and crew resource kit. Neil has literally left nothing out.

At the very least, go to his site by clicking here and check out what he has to offer. You won’t be sorry.

They have a list of job types, lots of articles, explanation of the industry, and other resources. It’s definitely not the treasure trove of hard hitting, “get a job now” material that “Get a Cruise Ship Job” is, but it may be worth digging through. 

But if you want the gold standard for getting a job for a cruise line, I highly suggest checking out my review for Get a Cruise Ship Job. Neil really packed a ton of into into his product. It will certainly shortcut your job search, and the price is an absolute pittance compared to the actual value.
