Default No Cruise Job for Me

Since going on a cruise last year and this year, I've queried chefs onboard at at school about working shipboard. I think I've even posted a question here ages ago. I've looked through webpages of a number of cruise operators and even found a local agency. None of them seem to post jobs of the lower ranks in the kitchen like line cooks, preps, or even dish washers. I was told that they're rarely ever requested and only the higher ups like sous and executive chef positions are open, the ones that require experiance that I need.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a resource I could look into that could help me get on a ship, regardless of where it is. I'm more then willing to fly out to the middle of no where to get onboard as long as I'm suited for the job.

I'm not sure if you've on this site, but it does list 1st,2nd and 3rd cooks. If that's what you mean.

It does require some sort of membership I think.
