Working on a cruise ship was always my dream. I belonged to the hospitality industry and was working as a chef in a resort. While casually searching the web, I came to know that I can get a job on a cruise as an Assistant chef. That information was converted into reality by Rife. Within 6 months, I was sailing on a ship, doing what I always dreamt of.

When I first sailed on a cruise, I was amazed by the life onboard, and I knew I wanted to be a part of it. But the ‘how’ part always confused me, as I was a gym trainer by profession. Somehow, I landed on Rife’s website and was cheered by the idea of working as a fitness instructor on a ship! I did the required short courses and Rife helped me with the rest of the process required to begin my journey.

Whenever I approached someone guaranteeing a job onboard, I was asked to pay a crazy amount. I got no proper guidance and thus was afraid of wasting my money. But when I contacted Rife, they directed me with proper guidelines to get onboard on a cruise. And yes, I work as a General steward!

I’ve been working as a Deck Cadet on a Cruise ship for the past 1 year. The experience has been amazing and I practically have friends from all over the world. Every day seems like a new adventure at a completely new place, and I can’t even imagine going back to a land job. Thank you Rife for making it happen!
