Cruise Job For Singles
It sounds like the dream job -- cruising at no cost while hosting a group of joyful, carefree, fun-loving singles for get-acquainted cocktail parties, games, and shore excursions. It seems like it would be more of a vacation than work, right? Well, not precisely.
In fact, the position of singles cruise coordinator is not for everyone. It takes a particular kind of person to handle the long hours and the stress.
Depending on the number of single passengers, travel agencies that classify these cruises may send more than one coordinator. Their duties consist of setting up registration tables on embarkation day, which means early boarding. Then it takes several hours to check everyone in and give out identification tags and a schedule of events. After that, it's time to host the get-acquainted cocktail party, which means making sure somebody is at the door to check IDs, then directing games for the next hour or more to get people introduced.

questions about every subject imaginable. They must also pay attention to those who have already found something to complain about, and attempt to solve their problems. And their day does not end with dessert; usually there is a late night gathering to host, and morning comes early, since they frequently have to staff an information desk before breakfast, where cruisers can ask questions and check on the day's schedule.
During the cruise, the singles coordinator's ongoing duties consist of hosting gatherings and games at poolside, organizing and attending before-dinner cocktail parties, table-hopping during dinner to encourage conversation, and usually doing as much as possible to ensure that everyone enjoys the cruise. The coordinator also pulls together group seating for shows, hosts night-owl parties, and sometimes leads private shore excursions. Some singles agencies offer daily information desks, which means early rising every morning. Even if the desk doesn't function each day, coordinators can forget about sleeping late, as the group habitually gets together for breakfast.
