Tips to identify scams

  1. If some agency promises you get a job as soon as they get payment, almost sure it is fake. Applicants wait for their job contracts for several months.
  2. Remember! Hiring partners do not collect any registration fees from applicants.
  3. If some agency uses public email account like gmail.com, it can be fake.
  4. Always check on cruise official hiring partners list on cruise company official website.
