When I briefly reviewed this book I was starry-eyed and I thought: "My Goodness, this author knows nothing about writing a resume and cover letter, or how to pass an interview. "The good practical advice" is only 5 pages out of 220 and usually the real, legitimate reviews are NOT for a topic, which is covered by 2% of a book's content. I don't know for you but I doubt that from Daily Mirror has said something like this about this book or the reviewer whoever is he or she has NOT read the whole book in details. The content which is dominated by several huge directories with dry statistical information really needs to be spiced up with numerous caricatures all over the book. Well, I want a step-by-step system and valuable content which will help me to get a cruise ship job and give me enough details for the industry. The only book which met these criteria is Cruise Ship Job in 14 Days. Thanks to it I easily got a job! Check it out because it is 10 times better than this one!

Working for 12 hours 7 days/week for several months on a cruise ship is NOT funny! Competing with 100 and more applicants for a single position is NOT funny! Your 3 pages with common sense tips on how to get a cruise ship job are NOT funny! Your shorter than Cynthia Ossenfort's job descriptions are NOT funny!
The caricatures all over your book ARE funny. The "Top 10 silly questions from passengers" ARE funny. The "10 things your mother never told you" about men on cruise ships ARE funny. The 2 years old addresses and phone, fax numbers are NOT funny! All those years you have worked in Entertainment Department are immediately obvious from your book. However from my 11 years in Sales and Marketing let me tell you something. People only laugh at comedians. They DON'T buy from them.

There are more than 10 funny pictures which are up to 1 page long while the book contains only 3 pages on how to write a cover letter and resume although its description says: "describes 150 different jobs at sea--and explains how to get them". I am quite disappointed from this book, the super short job descriptions and the humorous style of the author!

Working on Cruise Ships is a well written book on working and living onboard of a cruise ship. However there are only few pages on how to deal with cover letter, resume and interview. That's why if this is important for you consider- Cruise Ship Job in 14 Days, which is entirely focused on these 3 topics.
The best advice I can give you is to ask yourself what actually you are looking for. Information about what is to work and live onboard, how to apply and get a cruise ship job or both? In the very first case a cheaper option is Working on Cruise Ships. In the second and also for the very first is definitely Cruise Ship Job in 14 Days. In the third is to buy both matching books.

I thought that this book in addition to description of the work and life onboard provides detailed information on how to write a cover letter and resume as well as to pass an interview. Unfortunately all I found about this were 3 pages with common sense tips. I think that instead of having 15 caricatures and funny pictures long 1/2-1 page the author had to provide detailed information on these 3 crucial for successful applying topics. That's why if you really want to get a cruise ship job search for another book.
