Company and position recommendation

Hello,

I'm a 26 years old guy from Chile living in Spain with visa. Recently graduated from Software Engineering and I'm looking for job on a cruise ship. I have no experience in hospitality or anything related with guests. I only have work experience in software. Is it possible to find a job on a cruise ship with these qualifications? Anyone with a similar background?

I know most of you won't recommend working on a cruise for someone with my profile, but I have some friend working on cruises and I've been to several cruises as guest (I know it's not the same as crew at all). But I really want to make a change in what I do for a while, save up some money, travel the world and experience cruise life. I know how ship life is and know it's hard but I really want this.

I'm looking for people working on cruises to give me recommendations on positions which I could apply to that are paid well and which company would be the best for this.

PS: Even though software may seem similar to IT it's not the same at all. I code and build apps and websites. Not doing network or more technical stuff. So have that in consideration.
