Especially good for those right out of school
The book contains a great deal of information, but the author takes a lot of space describing how to be professional in your phone calls, letters, applications, resumes, interviews, etc. This info is invaluable for the first-timer who is not familiar with job-hunting, but for those who have been working for some time, this is old hat.What I found most valuable is the careful descriptions of the cruiselines. However, the book was published pre-9/11, so there is no reference to how the world and the travel industry have changed since then, or how the disaster affected the cruise industry. Perhaps in the next edition the author will include this assessment.
Bottom line: buy it. You'll find something useful.

I bought book for my daughter...my travel agent told me
I asked my travel agent how my daugher could get a job with a cruise ship. She told me about this book and to call cruise lines international association--when I called them, they gave me this book's name too. My daughter is using the addressed and application guidelines to send her resume. I felt betterabout this book, because there are so many fly-by-night web sites that I did not trust. this was much less expensive and it istrustworthy

no substance
I did not think this book was well-researched and I did not get the impression there was much substance to it. As I read it, I got the impression I could find all the contact information on my own with a computer. Similar Products
