How do i get a massage therapist job on an Australian cruise ship?

I live in Australia and I'm doing a Diploma of Massage Therapy. I'll be finishing it in time for Summer next year and I would love to get a job on an Australian Cruise ship as a massage therapist. Can someone advise me as to how I would do this and what the working conditions are like? Thanks

1. Go down to the docks & find the Captain or whomever does the hiring. Offer a free massage & see what that gets you. You will have to promote yourself, so be prepared.
2. Most of the spa workers for the major cruise lines are hired through recruiting agencies like these: Harding Brothers http://www.hardingspa.co.uk/ Steiner http://www.onespaworld.com/ Days are long and you'll share a cabin with 2 or 3 roommates. You sign a contact for 5-8 months. But you housing, food and medical insurance are taken care of. And most importantly, beer is a $1 at the crew bar!
