Ideally we would be looking for people that have either worked in a similar role (events/guest photographer) or people with a strong customer services background (working in 4-5star hotels with good photographic knowledge).
Cruise ships employment is not suitable just for every person. There is a great amount of discipline and hard work required.

There are crew facilities on board which may include: a crew bar or lounge, library, internet room, laundry, crew pool, crew mess (restaurant) and other facilities that are exclusively for the crew’s use. As a photographer you will enjoy staff privileges as well. These include: using in limits, some of the passenger facilities like the lounges, bars, shops, cafes, restaurants, cinemas, show venues, decks & pools, spas and gymnasium.
