The World's Best Cruise Lines To Work For
Maybe it all started back in the 1970s when the television show The Love Boat captured top ratings and fans, and people started becoming more interested in taking cruises. It's hard to say what sparked the increasing popularity of cruising, but it's safe to say that its popularity hasn't lost momentum for the last two decades, despite economic downturns. Even during the worldwide recession of 2008 through 2010, cruise line sales continued to grow - not at the rate prior to the recession - but they still didn't suffer as much as many other segments of the travel and hospitality industry.
According to a Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association report, the most recent figure on cruise ship occupation was 103%, which means demand exceeded available space!
Another indicator of the growth of the industry is the fact that a total of 12 new ships were launched in 2010 by some of the world's leading cruise lines: American, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, and Holland America, to name a few.
In 2011, 14 new ships will be launched by many of the same companies and others. These new cruise ship launches mean hundreds of new jobs.
Remember: each new mega-cruise ships can hold thousands of passengers.
Because of all of these factors, there has never been a better time to begin searching for an exciting career in the cruise line industry. The ships offer good accommodations for staff and crew, there are new itineraries being developed, and the need for quality employees is tremendous. This is great news, but keep in mind that competition for these jobs can be fierce. To improve your chances of finding (and getting) the perfect cruise line job, you should utilize all the tools CruiseJobFinder has to offer.
