Figure out what kind of cruise line you want to work for. Cruise lines tend to cater to different groups of people. For instance, if you enjoy a family-friendly atmosphere and are good with children, you might consider Disney Cruise Lines. If you're looking for something more adult and upscale, Regent Seven Seas Cruises may be a better fit.
