In a cruise ship environment, you are working very closely with your co-workers, day in and day out, and in most cases, living in close quarters with them as well. Your interviewer aims to assess your ability to thrive in such an environment while building successful, long-lasting relationships. "Working onboard is a great opportunity not only to grow professionally but also to make friends from all over the world. While different cultures act differently and sometimes it takes time to adjust, we believe that being open and respectful always leads to good relationships. Communication is usually the key to get along." So talk about how you built relationships with previous coworkers, spending time within them inside and outside the bounds of work.

"I am still very close friends with most of the people I worked with at my previous jobs. In fact, the last house I rented I shared with three of my coworkers. So working with and living with my coworkers, who I'd rather describe as my friends, is in my comfort zone."

"Our team is amazing! We support each other when customers are a bit cranky, we help each other reach the ships' sales targets and goals, and we help to cover when someone needs a few hours off. I understand that Royal Caribbean International offers a collaborative workplace culture similar to this, which is why I was motivated to apply here."
