There are NO positions onboard that do not require minimum experience as there is very little time for “on the job training”. Therefore, all applicants must have minimum of 6-12 months of experience based on the cruise lines expectations, and in the same position that you are applying for.
For most positions, it’s not mandatory to have previously worked onboard; however, candidates with C1/D Visa or prior ship experience who present a good ship’s appraisal (evaluation) will be given priority in the recruitment process.
