Ans. You can join as a bar steward on a cruise ship and then after 2-3 years of experience you will become a bartender on a cruise ship but your promotion will be bar steward to bar waiter or wine waiter and then senior bar waiter to the bartender. Another way to work as a bartender on a cruise ship is to get at least two years of bartender experience in your home country from 4 or 5-star hotels and then you are eligible to apply for a cruise ship job as a bartender.
