THE 88 — The Toughest Hospitality Interview Questions That Get You Hired | Luxury Hotels & Cruise Ships

THE 88

The toughest questions that get you hired in luxury hotels and on the world’s largest cruise ships.

Most interview books are written by people who have never worked a floor, never run a turnover, never sat on the other side of the table before a port day.

This one wasn’t.

88 questions — plus one bonus question most candidates never see coming. 147 pages. Written by a hospitality professional with 25+ years in international hotels and on cruise ships, and answered the way they are actually answered by people who get hired.

THREE LEVELS, ONE BOOK

New Starter. Floor / Regular Role. Supervisor & Manager.

Read the level you are applying for — then read the one above it, because that is where you are going.

INSIDE EVERY QUESTION

• WHY THEY ASK IT — what the interviewer is actually testing

• THE ANSWER — at your level, and at the level above

• THE TIP — the one thing that changes how it lands

• THE KEYS — the words to keep, short enough to memorise

ALSO INSIDE

• THE CHEAT SHEET — every question’s KEYS collected in one run of pages

• ESSENTIAL INDUSTRY ENGLISH — 88 hospitality terms in 7 groups, from SOP to Duty of Care

• The 60-Second Rule, and how to actually practise: out loud, on a timer, on camera

• Three full interview scenarios, start to finish

• Ships Don’t Wait — 8 considerations before you sign a contract

• Written for non-native English speakers as well as native

THE PART NOBODY PRINTS

Some questions carry two answers: what really happens backstage, and what you actually say in the room. Because nobody gets hired on raw honesty — and nobody survives on illusions either.

WHO THIS IS FOR

• First contract, no experience — hotels or ships

• Floor staff going for a first interview abroad

• Supervisors and managers moving up, or moving line

• Anyone who freezes, rambles, or over-explains

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR

Anyone looking for a script to lie with. This book teaches you to tell the truth in a way that gets hired.
