Cruise Ship Bartender Jobs

In addition to serving and mixing drinks, bartenders must look after all aspects of the lounge to which they are assigned. This can include direct responsibilities like stocking the bar, prepping for happy hours, over looking schedules, and cleanliness. Because bartenders manage a bar staff beneath them, they must also oversee the people in their area to make sure everyone is doing their job. Bartenders must be expert mixologists, and cruise lines always demand prior bartending and staff experience before hiring ship bartenders.

Perhaps one of the most important responsibilities of any professional bartender is keeping the customers happy. An outgoing, friendly personality is a prerequisite for any successful bartender. While appealing to customers of all kinds, bartenders must be patient with customers but know when to be firm if the situation calls for action.

Bartending income on cruise ships comes largely from tips, although bar managers and senior staff will be paid a nice salary. Earnings in the range of $1,800 to $2,800 a month are common. Bar Managers, who will sometimes manage the entire cruise ship bar staff, can make as much as $3,800 a month in salary.

In addition to making good money, bartenders who work on a cruise ship have the opportunity to travel. Also, bartending is a job that is almost always in demand within the service industry, making a cruise ship the perfect place to gain more bartending experience.

If you’re dead set on bartending in a fun environment — and would like to pursue opportunities outside the cruise industry — then consider ski resort bartending jobs . True, it’s not the same as working on a cruise ship but there are good times to be had. The JobMonkey Ski Resort Jobs Section details the entire industry.

Cruise Ship Jobs: Bartender(Job Description)

• Post author: Xuxu
• Post category: Cruise Ship Jobs / Positions

The bartender is one of the friendliest faces that some guests will see when they are on a cruise ship. They are qualified individuals that do much more than simply pop open a fresh beer or pour some wine. The job of a cruise ship bartender requires that you are friendly, knowledgeable, and not afraid to work hard. You will be spending the majority of your time on your feet moving around the bar constantly.

When you are prepared for your interview and know what to expect from the position of a cruise ship bartender, you will be much more likely to earn this coveted position. Keep reading to learn more about this job and how you can put your best foot forward during your interview.

What’s the Job of Bartender on a Cruise Ship?

Bartenders do much more than simply provide guests with drinks when they are on the ship. You must also know how to manage the bar to ensure that it is performing to the high standards set by the cruise line. This means that in addition to making and serving drinks, you must understand all of the various aspects of beverage service and ensure that they are being carried out correctly.

Sales Techniques

You must understand sales techniques that you can use when interacting with guests and be comfortable with both suggestive selling as well as upselling. Additionally, great bartenders must know how to control inventory, keep the bar clean, understand resupplying, and handle any bar staff problems that may arise. 

Cruise Lines will often have a Drink of the Day and you must know how to make it and sell it to the guests, while not forgetting to upsell.

Bar Management Skills

Bartenders are in charge of the bar and must make sure to train the bar staff to keep the place neat, organized, and stocked. Bartenders are responsible for planning and taking deliveries of any and all supplies that the bar will need and are in charge of helping meet any budget targets.

Since bartenders need to be able to manage employees, balance time, and understand budgets, these are all skills that you will want to address with your potential employer. Preparing for the interview by having in mind examples of when you have successfully done these things will help to set you apart.

Do You Know Bartending Flare Techniques?

Besides the regular job of a bartender, there’s also the fun part of it, called flair bartending. Being a flair bartender can make the job much more fun. Although cruise lines have different position for flair bartenders, if you know or have your own techniques, it could mean the difference between getting a job or not on a cruise ship.

Take a look below at the video named from the Ray Made TV Youtube Channel

Yout Don’t have to be the Bruce Lee of Bartending but having some techniques up your sleeve can help!

What Are the Job Requirements of a Cruise Ship Bartender?

Even though it may seem easy to get a job as a bartender in a local town bar, working on a cruise ship will require more from you, so you must be prepared for the higher quality of work that you will perform and the higher expectations that you must meet. Bartenders need to have a high school diploma or GED at the minimum, although a college degree is always helpful. Since math is so important on a day to day basis when working at a bar, you must have strong math skills such as calculating interest, commissions, tips, and even percentages that must be done correctly and quickly.

Additional Languages Can Help.

Bartenders who speak more than one language are clearly going to be a more attractive choice for cruise ships as they will be able to better interact with more guests. This is not a necessity for all cruise ships but is a great way for you to set yourself apart in addition to meeting the other qualifications. There’s a variety of different languages spoken and cruise ships are in all corners of the world. If you speak Spanish, chances are that cruise lines will place you on a route that attracts a lot of Spanish-speaking guests, like cruises sailing out of Barcelona. If you speak Portuguese, you might work on the Brazilian season, if your company has cruises going to Brazil.

Can I get a Bartending Job with no Experience?

You would most likely not be hired for a job as a bartender on a cruise ship without previous experiences working as a bartender. Not only do you need to have at least two to three years experience working in the beverage industry as a bartender but you must also have strong communication abilities. Cruise ship bartenders are constantly interacting with the guests and you must make sure that you make them feel comfortable and happy when at the bar.

How Much Is the Salary of a Bartender on a Cruise Ship?

Qualified applicants and ones who are able to get a position on a larger ship are likely going to make more. In general, however, bartenders can expect to make between $1500 and $2800 a month, inclusive of tips.  

Bar managers who handle all of the ordering, budgeting, and scheduling will expect to make a bit more. These bartenders can easily bring home up to $3800 a month , depending on what cruise line they choose to work for.

Tips on How to Prepare for the Interview

One of the things that a cruise line is looking for when hiring bartenders is good judgment and the ability to discern when a guest has had enough to drink. Being able to communicate with guests is key and understanding how to use good judgment when serving clients will keep guests happy and safe.

Bartenders also need to be able to multitask in order to be successful on a large cruise ship. It’s a good idea for you to have in mind a few examples of past multitasking that you can talk about as this is a great way to show the cruise line director that you are able to work on many things at once without getting frustrated.

Have a good Knowledge of Common Drinks

Having a vast knowledge of common cocktails are a must for this position. Drink preferences can shift based on the time of the year and the location in the world where the cruise ship is at the time. Italians love Spritz and Brazilians love Caipirinhas.

Common Drinks are:

Also, make sure you have a good knowledge of wines. Guests will often ask for recommendations about wines.

Common Bartender Interview Questions

Review some of the most common interview questions that are used for bartenders so that you are prepared. These include “How are your skills as a salesperson?” and “What do you do when you think that someone has had too much to drink?” Being prepared with answers can help set you apart from other applicants.

Examples of Questions You Might get Asked:

• How do you know when someone had too much to drink?
• What are your Favorite Drinks to prepare?
• Have you ever worked on a cruise ship before? If yes, please describe your role and responsibilities.
• Are you familiar with the specific challenges and demands of bartending on a cruise ship?
• Are you familiar with any specific health and safety regulations related to bartending?
• Do you have any experience with bartending software or POS systems?
• Can you handle working long hours and being away from home for extended periods of time?
• What cocktail recipes are you most confident in making?
• Have you taken a bartender course?
• What would you do if you suspect someone is underage?
• What do you do with a drunk customer?
• Explain how you prepare a specific drink. (ex: Manhattan, Pina Colada, Martini,etc.)

Training is Provided

Once onboard cruise lines will be constantly adding new drinks to the menu and training will be provided. Make sure that you take the time to study these drinks because not knowing the most common drinks the cruise line offers can stop you from moving up. There’s always a Drink of the Day, so, at the minimum, you might need to remember over 7 different types of drinks if on a seven-day cruise.

Learn About Living and Working on a Cruise Ship (Ship Life)

Learn about all aspects of ship life , like long hours, shared cabins, and long contracts. These will become part of your daily routine when working on a cruise ship. You are signing up not just for a job but for a lifestyle as well. Recruiters want to know that you have what it takes to adapt to this transition to a life at sea. If you have worked on a cruise ship before, recruiters will not focus on these details as much. 

Final Words

Landing a job as a cruise ship bartender is not always easy but the end result is worth it for a lot of people. If you are highly motivated, understand how to run a bar without complications, and want to travel and interact with people each day that you are at work, then this may be a good position for you to apply for.

Good luck with your search!

Traveling the world while getting paid to do it might sound like a dream, but it can be a reality if you take a job on a cruise ship.

Of course, this type of work isn’t for everyone — the hours can be long, and it may mean a lot of time away from home. But there are plenty of benefits as well.

If working for a cruise line sounds ideal, there are plenty of career opportunities on board. Here are 15 jobs that can help  boost your bank account  as you travel the world.

Editor's note:  All salary figures are from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

12 legit ways to make extra cash

Activities coordinator

Even short cruises are packed with activities for travelers to engage in. Among other things, you'll find games, happy hours and live music.

An activities coordinator is similar to an event planner. In this role, you oversee things like recreation on board and coordinating shore excursion activities. The BLS does not offer wage information for this position.

If you want to start traveling more — and get paid to do it — this can be a good role to consider.

Get expert advice on making more money - sent straight to your inbox.

It’s no secret that people on cruises like to drink. Many cruise lines offer a food and alcohol package as part of the booking process.

The amount of money you can make working as a bartender on a cruise ship varies greatly, depending on whether guests are expected to tip. But the average salary for bartenders is $29,380 annually.

Casino dealer

Working as a dealer at a cruise casino can be an exciting gig. These workers may oversee poker, blackjack, roulette, and more games.

Gambling service workers make $31,290 a year. However, as with tending bar, the actual wages for casino workers on a cruise can vary.

Many cruise ships have cafeterias and restaurants for when guests are in the mood for fine dining.

Cruise ship chefs may be involved in cooking and planning menus for guests and staff. Chefs or head cooks make $56,520 on average annually.

Deckhands help maintain the cruise ship. They may be involved in keeping these massive ships running, including cleaning and maintaining equipment, loading cargo, and getting passengers safely on board.

The experience required to work as a deckhand can vary greatly depending on the job description. The BLS does not offer salary information for this position.

Entertainer

Cruise lines hire all sorts of entertainers, from dancers to cover bands and magicians.

Working on a cruise ship can be a great way to hone and improve your craft or even take it in a different direction. The average wage for entertainers and performers is $29.67 an hour, which equates to about $61,713 annually.

7 Things to Do If You’re Barely Scraping by Financially

Entertainment director

Cruise ships also need people to manage their entertainers, particularly if the ship has a lot of shows and performances scheduled.

Entertainment directors may be involved in scheduling staff, planning performances, and doing administrative work. The average salary for entertainment/recreation managers is $67,220 annually.

Fitness instructor

Many cruise ships also offer various fitness classes, including yoga, Zumba, spin, and more.

For qualified instructors, this can be a great way to stay healthy, make money, and travel the world all at the same time. The average fitness instructor makes $45,380 annually.

Hair/makeup artist

On cruise ships, hair and makeup artists may work in spas, providing services to guests looking to get pampered while on board, and may be needed to work with the ship’s performers.

The BLS groups barbers, hairstyles, and cosmetologists together and states an average of $33,400 annual salary for these workers.

6 Clever Ways to Crush Your Debt

Hotel director

Since a cruise ship is essentially a floating hotel, many employees with experience working in hospitality are needed.

Hotel directors ensure that guests are comfortable and enjoy their experience. They may also be involved in planning and coordinating cruise activities.

The average salary for lodging managers is $61,910 annually.

Some cruise ships also hire nurses to provide care to passengers and cruise staff.

The amount of money nurses make on average usually depends on the type of nurse. Registered nurses (RNs) make $81,220 annually. Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) make $54,620 a year.

Massage therapist

Many cruise passengers opt to take advantage of spa services. Massage therapists may work in a spa or travel to guests’ rooms with their equipment to provide massages.

Licensed massage therapists make just under $49,860 annually on average.

9 Things You Must Do Before The Next Recession

Cruise ships also frequently employ security staff to ensure the safety of guests and crew members. These workers may patrol the ship regularly and respond to any issues that come up.

The average salary for security guards is $33,030 annually.

Eating often and well is a big draw for many cruise passengers. Ships often have several restaurants on board and employ experienced servers to staff them.

Pay for these workers can vary, depending on the cruise line’s tipping policy. The average salary for a server in the U.S. is $29,120 annually.

Sales associate

Part of the beauty of the typical cruise ship is that it’s kind of like a floating mall, filled with gift shops and retail stores galore. Ships often need many sales associates to staff these stores.

Again, depending on the cruise line and the job, the pay for these gigs may vary. However, BLS data puts the average salary for a retail sales worker at $30,750 annually.

That’s not huge money, but perhaps it's enough for students to get ahead financially during breaks between school years.

Bottom line

Working as a cruise crew member is certainly not for everyone — lodging for staff can be cramped, days can be long, and you might be away from home for weeks at a time.

But for those looking to tap into a new source of income as they travel, it just may be a win-win situation.
