This question is more likely to be posed to those who are new to this lifestyle. However, even for the more experienced candidate, it helps to have at some point been a customer and experienced cruise life from that perspective. So if you have been on a cruise before, describe your experience. What stood out to you the most? If you never have, that's fine as well. Share your enthusiasm for taking advantage of the employee cruise benefits as well. As they detail on their careers site, you'll be able to enjoy "employee discounts on cruises, and a complimentary cruise for employees upon starting with the company."

"I had a family reunion on a cruise and it was a blast. I was younger, in my teens, and spent my fair share of time in the arcade. But mostly when I wanted to take a break away from family, I would find a spot on the aft of the ship and watch the ocean and the wake of the propeller. I'd watch the flying fish. Watch the sunset. It was pretty magical. There is no doubt I would take advantage of every employee perk and enjoy every cruise from behind the scenes and as a customer."

"I was on a Christmas family cruise a couple of years ago with Royal Caribbean International. My experience was so wonderful, that is when I vowed to come back as an employee one day. I loved the variety and that I could spend nearly every day in a new city or country, exploring the culture and trying new things. I am excited to help give this opportunity to the guests of Royal Caribbean International."

Marcie's Feedback
Nice! It's great that you have had positive personal experiences cruising, and you do a good job of explaining what you like about it. The more details you can add, the more memorable your response will be to the interviewer. Perhaps consider talking about the best cruise you've ever been on? Discuss where you went and why it was so enjoyable. Be sure to emphasize what you liked about the cruise line itself. Great job!
