Clearly, there are a lot of opportunities working as a Cruise Ship Worker; and each position requires different skills and qualifications. For example, Casino dealers and cashiers handling cash probably need to be bondable; and they should be personable and friendly. Engine room specialists should be educated and trained in all aspects of the ship's propulsion systems. Bartenders need to know how to mix commonly served alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

In most Cruise Ship Worker positions, employees need to be people-oriented, since contact with patrons is frequent aboard ship. Cruise Ship Workers must also be aware of their own ability to remain sequestered aboard ship and often in the middle of the open ocean. Those prone to motion-sickness might not be wise to seek Cruise Ship Worker positions.
