As a Dishwasher, you will be responsible for maintaining the cleanliness and sanitation of all dining ware and galley areas to ensure that guests enjoy an outstanding dining experience aboard our vessels.

The role offers competitive pay ranging from $1,000 to $1,400 per week, plus additional bonuses, with all major living expenses including travel, room and board, uniforms, and paid training covered by the company. Dishwashers at American Cruise Lines play a crucial supporting role by ensuring that all tableware, glassware, and kitchen utensils are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized according to strict health and safety standards. Besides traditional dishwashing duties, the role may also include receiving and transporting heavy food deliveries, assisting with guest greetings during embarkation, and supporting special onboard events such as afternoon teas and evening entertainment shows.
