The California Maritine Academy publishes a Cruise Handbook that provides important information about a number of areas. Please be sure to read all the sections before applying, so you have a good understanding of on-board living and participation requirements. An opportunity is available for CSU students to work for pay while on the training cruise. This position is with our Food Services Department.
Interested students can earn enough to cover the cruise cost.
Those who do decide to work need to understand that the food manager will schedule them when in port, so that all of their port time will not be free. The schedule will not interfere with any required classes. You must be a registered CSU student to be employed in this way. In order to keep the training cruise cost down, normal hotel services are not provided. Each student is required to keep their own living area clean and to change and wash their own linen.
