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.
