Do you have any talents or unique hobbies we should know about?
This question is similar to the 'tell me something I wouldn't know from reading your resume' question. When cruise lines look to hire, they love to entertain candidates with a lot of potential in multiple areas. For instance, perhaps you are excellent with bartending, and you can assist on the entertainment side of the ship. Discuss any talents or hobbies that you may have. You can give a more relaxed response to this question.
"I grew up playing basketball and was the captain of my college basketball team. I learned a lot about leadership, healthy competition, and being a team player. I am open to trying new things and, should you need someone to help with the sports and activities side of your program, I could be an excellent resource."
"I have many hidden talents! I love to act, sing, and dance. If you think I could incorporate that into a bartending act, we could be onto something! Seriously though, I am interested in a multitude of topics and am happy to fill in where needed."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.
