Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 8 Up-This career guide begins by analyzing the modern cruise ship business: the types of cruises, who takes them, why, prices, and what there is to do on board. Kennedy enriches his account with anecdotes drawn from his own experiences as well as those of others. He also offers a straightforward look at a highly competitive industry and stresses the need for applicants to be persistent and seriously committed. One chapter lists types of positions available. A directory of cruise lines with addresses is included. Sound, common-sense advice is given in chapters entitled "How to Apply," "How to Follow Up," and interviewing. An up-to-date, useful book.

This review is from: Exploring Careers on Cruise Ships (Hardcover)

Such books make me wonder how is it possible someone to sell a product and DOESN'T care at all how incredibly outdated and useless is its content/quality. Well, then its up to us to think carefully for what we will give our hard earn money. I want a reliable and up-to-date book and that's why will NOT recommend this one because since 1994 it is good for nothing.
