Cruise Job Interview Questions and Answers by


Nbcruiser

Here I try to cover all the Cruise job interview questions and
answers which is possible to ask by interviewers, If I miss anything
please let me know. I will not go with the technical questions
department wise but yes I will try to mention the most common.

Q.1. Tell me about yourself.

Answer. You just need to brief yourself in short, crisp, and clear.
The Interviewers want to know how you can describe yourself.

Start with your name,


Give your place information,
Education details but in short,
Job experience if any,
Family detail in short.

Now you can make your answers accordingly, I believe these


points will be very easy for you to make your introduction. If the
interviewer wants to listen more then you can tell about your
weakness, strength, your hobby, etc.

Q. 2. Why do you want to work with Cruise


Line?

Answer. Before your interview you need to google the company,


you just need to know about what the company is when to build it,
where is the head office, who is the founder and CEO, etc. After
that, while giving the answer to this question you need to focus
on:

You need to explain what you like about Cruise Line,


Relate it to your long term career goal on a Cruise ship,

You can connect your feeling with this company and tell them “It
will be a golden opportunity to be a part of a Cruise Company
like yours. When I google about the company I found that my
skills matching your requirements, Where I can enhance my
technical skills to contribute to the company growth”.

When you answer like this, I am sure the interviewer will think
twice about you that you are the candidate who is thinking about
company growth first then yourself.

Q. 3. What are your strengths?

Answer: All the companies want to know about your strengths


and how your strengths will be beneficial for that company. So
while giving such kind of answers you need to mention many
points which is very common in everyone like:

1. Honest: you can say you are very honest with your company and
with your work.
2. Self Motivated: Here you can say I am self-motivated.
3. Hard Working: you can say that I will work with dedication and
determination.
4. Flexibility: It means you are very flexible to work with any
location, any situation, and any environment.
5. Optimistic: It means you have a positive attitude.
6. Persistence: It means you are regular in your work.

Now you can give 2-4 examples to your interviewers which is most
common in you. I believe these qualities are found in everyone.

Q. 4. What are your weaknesses?

Answer: This also a very important question in which interviewers


want to know your weakness because your weakness can affect
the company profile or your job profile. They may not hire you so
while giving such kind of answer you can include some positive
points, even it is a weakness but it should be positive.

I can cot say no when someone asks for help.


I trust people very quickly.
Straight forward.
Get nervous when talking to strangers.
Take the decision very quickly.
To speak lies is difficult for me.
More talkative

We all know, more than 90% of companies are selling only two
things, one is their service and another is their product.

Q.5. What are your career goals?

Answer. 8 out of 10 interviewers will ask you about your goal and
when you want to see yourself after a certain period of time. So
while giving such kind of answer you need to be given only:

Short term goal and


Long term goal
For Example: “My future goal is to be during a respectable
position therein organization” and My short term goal is to
urge employment during a reputed company where I can
utilize my skills and knowledge”.

Q.6. Why are you looking for a job change?

Answer. The Interviewer wants to know that why are you living
your current organization and what is the reason behind your job
change. So well see some point here while giving such kind of
answers.

Always thanks to your previous organization.


Explain what you learn from your previous job experience.
Relate it to your career goals.
Share your reason for job change.

Like: “I am very thankful to my previous company because I


have learned lots of things from there. According to me,
change is necessary for everyone to enhance your skills,
knowledge, and personal as well as financial growth. And
your organization is a very good platform where I can learn
more”.

Q.7. What do you know about ____Cruise


Line?

Answer. Before you give such kind of answer you need to google
these points:

Study about the company in brief.


Name the name of Company owners and CEO.
Research about company current issues.
Study about their competitors.
All the above points you can find on google and make sure while
giving such kind of answer you need to be very confident and
polite.

Like: “It is one of the fastest-growing comping. The work


environment of the company is also very good. People feel
very proud to be part of the company, As a company provides
full support of their employees in the professional front”.

Q.8. What is your expectation with our


company?

Answer: This is the most important point for you because if the
interviewer will thing this candidate is good for the company then
they will put you this question. So while giving such kind of answer
you need to remember a few things:

Never share your salary expectation if you are a fresher because it


might be you do not your market value.
Experience candidate can share their expectations, If you have
some experience then you are free to share what you expect from
this company.
Always says as per the company norms. Either you are a fresher or
Experienced because every company has its own salary structure.

Like: “If you are a fresher- I am a fresher and salary is not my


first priority. This is really a big platform to start my career
and I also want to improve my knowledge and gain
experience. so my expectation is as per company norms
which help me to maintain my economic needs“.

If you have experience: “I have 5 years of experience in ______


and my current CRC is 5LPA, Salary has never a big issue for
me still I am expecting as per company norms as per my
designation, my qualification, and my experience. Which can
help me to maintain my personal and financial needs“.
Q.9. What is three bucket system?

Answer. Many interviewers can ask you this question because on


board this is the system that is followed by every department to
maintain the hygiene level.

Washing, Rinsing, and Sanitizing


They add 100 PPM chlorine in water during sanitizing. PPM(Part
Per Million).

If there is any medical issue onboard like nose running, Diarrhea,


etc then they use 200 PPM for sensitization otherwise always 100
PPM.
