The Bahamas Department of Labour advises the public to exercise caution if seeking cruise ship jobs via the Internet in order to avoid falling victim to online scams. 

It has recently come to the attention of the Department of Labour that a listing of job vacancies for the Costa Cruise Line Australia is possibly an Internet hoax, and urges the public to beware.

Persons should not forward any money if asked to do so; and those currently employed should not tender their resignations in pursuit of any vacancy being offered by Costa Cruise Line Australia.

The Department of Labour has copied and posted to its Facebook page a post from www.cruiselinesjobs.com titled, Cruise Ship Job Scams and how to Spot a Scam.

Of the points made, the post states: “Getting a job on a cruise ship is a very difficult and lengthy process. If it sounds too good to be true, it most likely isn’t true!”

The Department offers a link to gain helpful information on things to be mindful of while applying for cruise ship jobs via the Internet:
