Can you change departments after starting a cruise ship job?
Hi everyone!
I’m considering working on a cruise ship and I was wondering how easy or difficult it is to change departments once you’re already working for a cruise line.
For example, let’s say I start in housekeeping as a cabin steward. Would it be possible to move into a completely different area later, such as retail/sales, guest services, or another department?
Can this happen during the same contract, or would I normally need to finish my contract and apply for a different position for the next one?
I’d especially love to hear from people who actually changed departments while working on cruise ships. How did the process work for you? Did having previous experience with the cruise line make it easier to get the new position?
Thanks! :)
