Janitorial Job Opportunities on Cruise Ships and Hotels

Yes, there are janitorial and housekeeping opportunities both on cruise ships and in hotels, but it helps to search using the right job titles. On cruise ships, look for titles like Housekeeping Attendant, Cabin Steward or Stateroom Steward, Public Area Attendant, Laundry Attendant, Utility, or Hotel Operations support. Royal Caribbean’s shipboard careers page specifically lists Hotel Operations, including housekeeping staff, and Carnival has a Housekeeping Attendant role that requires prior housekeeping experience in a hotel environment. Viking, Disney Cruise Line, and Cunard also publicly list housekeeping and laundry career paths.

For hotels, apply directly on major hotel career sites and search titles such as Housekeeper, Room Attendant, Housekeeping Aide, Public Area Attendant, Laundry Attendant, or Environmental Services Attendant. For cruise jobs, it is safer to apply through official cruise-line career pages or authorized recruiters only. Princess specifically warns applicants to use only official careers websites or approved recruitment agencies and says they do not charge application or recruitment fees.

If you are open to both hotels and cruise ships, hotel housekeeping can sometimes be the easier first step because some cruise roles prefer at least one year of housekeeping experience. Are you looking for work in the U.S. only, or are you also open to international cruise contracts?
