Cruise Line work?

Hi everyone! Can someone tell me how to go about getting work as a Massage Therapist on a cruise line? I have look all over the internet but can't seem the right direction to go or person to contact. Your help is appreciated. Thanks, Becky

Steiner Leisure has the exclusive on placing massage therapists on cruise ships since back in the 1930's, unless it's a very small privately owned boat/line. Their website is http://www.onespaworld.com/

DO NOT pay for any of these stupid courses telling you how to get work on a cruise line. Everything you need to know is on Steiner's website, and you don't have to pay for it.

I have a page on my website about it with some links to articles on it. In general it is hard, long hours but if you learn how to set boundaries I bet it could be really fun!

Has anyone on here actually worked for a cruise line before? If so, what was your experience like? Would you do it again?
