When I looked at the book I neither found such information on the front or back cover, nor in its content. It is clearly written "first edition March 1, 2000" and this is the truth! The author can and do say anything in the description BUT the ugly reality is that he is shameless enough to lie you only and only to sell you his 5 years old, low quality book.

As a Sales Manager with 11 years experience I am telling you that his tips are practically useless for marketing and selling yourself to the cruise lines. That's why this author and his book are for 0.5-star rating because trust and honesty are the foundation of everything. Instead of shamelessly lying you, it is better to finally move his ass a little bit and at least update his book although it badly needs a transplantation of valuable content! If you are looking for the latest cutting edge stategies for applying and writing an impact cover letter and resume, the only book in the world I recommend is Cruise Ship Job in 14 Days!

A true expert will keep his book up-to-date giving his readers the most accurate and current information. For the past 5 YEARS this book is NOT touched from its author. This is the reason why most of the addresses, telephone and fax numbers are outdates and useless. Tell me how your application will reach a cruise line, so they can consider you, if the address from the book is wrong? The only current and full with instructions from the Professional Association of Resume Writers book is Cruise Ship Job in 14 Days. Check it out.

This is a nice try for a good quality book. It is neither updated for the past 5 years, nor it offers something more than good tips on cover letter and resume writing. I doubt that anyone can defeat the severe competition for any cruise ship job having only this as foundation and advice.

I have also bought Cruise Ship Job in 14 Days and if I have to compare them it's just like Ph.D thesis and pupil's notebook with tips and tidbits of basic information. I followed The L.A.S.E.R Strategy for Next Generation Applying and got a job in 10 days as an Engineer onboard of Royal Caribbean Cruises. That's why if you really want a cruise ship employment at least you will need the current addresses of the cruise lines in order your application to reach them. Does the author care that the ones in his book are 5 years old? NO! Will you rely on him for the best possible advice and strategies on getting a cruise ship job?

This book promises to help you with a tough task such as getting a cruise ship job. That's why I wonder HOW you can write an attention-grabbing application when the author provides you only with 3 pages tips on cover letter and resume writing. If he has been lucky enough to get a job I doubt that anything from the brief advice in the book and the 5 years old addresses and telephone numbers will help YOU to achieve the same result. If you really want to get a cruise ship employment the only book which I feel confident to recommend in written form is the category's bestseller- Cruise Ship Job in 14 Days.

The author states in the book description "all new second edition" but this is lie. It is still first edition written more than 5 years ago. This automatically makes all addresses, telephone numbers and time sensitive information good for nothing. Furthermore, there are only few pages with tips on how to apply. If he has succeeded to get a cruise ship job his book has NO potential to help anyone to do the same. Instead of it I highly recommend the only "exceptional, 5-star" book in the world at this category "Cruise Ship Job in 14 Days". Thanks to it I got a job at Royal Caribbean Cruises in 17 days and from July 1 I will see those paradise-like islands sailing on a 5-star luxury cruise ship.

I bought this book as a joke, did exactly what it said to do and in a matter of six weeks I was working for Holland America on the MS Nordam. It was a great summer job and I have tons of memories from the experience.

I bought the book by Miller because I wanted to give my granddaughter the newest information - I bought new 2004 How to get a job with acruise line by Miller.
