Hello Fellow Stage Managers

[Butterc]

I just stumbled across this site while I was looking for information about cruise ship internships. I'm about a year and a half away from graduating with my Bachelors of Arts, and I really want to work on a cruise ship. How do you go about getting and internship or job on a cruise ship?

Hi and welcome to the boards! I would suggest using the search bar in the upper right-hand corner of the page. There are a number of threads about this subject- try searching for "cruise", "cruise ship", or "cruise ship jobs" and see what you find.

I'm not personally experienced with cruise ships but I doubt you will find much in the way of internships there. Definitely check out some of the discussions on this forum about what cruise ship work is like- there is a lot of info available.

Thanks for joining us! As Maribeth alluded, we like it when people search for stuff and contribute to existing topics. If you're having trouble finding the search function I suggest you check out the "Welcome/How to Introduce yourself" post that's stickied at the top of this board. There have been a ton of discussions about cruise and corporate non-union work - most of the experts from that branch of the industry hang out on the SM: Other board.

Also, we've changed things a bit around here with Introductions. We'd like all of our new members to eventually become SMNet regulars, and that starts with learning a little bit about you!

I would like to see you post a new topic, including either:

• A tip - Any shortcut, technique or skill that you've found makes your backstage life easier.
• A tale - Be it funny, poignant or just plain bizarre, tell us a quick story about something that happened to you on the job. (Please do not use real names or companies for your own safety.)
• A bit of trivia - Teach us something cool about the world! It can be history, science, a link between you and some famous person - doesn't matter. Many of us love trivia.

Thanks!
