Responsibility for the cabins or staterooms on a cruise ship fall under the housekeeping department. This division is responsible for making passengers comfortable while they are in their rooms, and includes the care of the cabins, room and messenger service, and laundry pick up and delivery. Jobs in the hosekeeping department of a cruise line are very similar to the jobs you will find in a five-star hotel or resort: cabin steward/stewardess who clean and do daily maintenance of the cabins and general housekeeping, chief housekeeper, floor supervisor, head room steward / stewardess, cabin steward / stewardess, bell captain, bell boy.
There is also a separate division that does the general cleaning and maintenance of the common areas around the ship and offers jobs for cleaner / utility cleaner positions.
The laundry on a ship must run almost continually. Bed linens, towels, tablecloths, and some crew uniforms must be laundered daily. This division offers cruise line jobs for laundry supervisor and laundry man / linen keeper.
Most cruise lines employ concessionaire companies or employment agencies to staff these positions and applicants are recruited from all over the world. English registered ships commonly fill their housekeeping positions with European personnel, while many others recruit their staff from agencies in third world countries. Housekeeping falls under the hotel department and is categorized as crew. Also known as accommodation staff.
