questions to be answered by you are:

does the company pay salary during those 2 years?
will the company provide an experience certificate mentioning 2 continuous years of employment.

On vacation, meand you are still on rolls of the comapany.. so, ideally it should be counted in...

answer these questions to yourself and then try thinking again.

If I were you, even in the abscence of all of the above, CIC will understand that you need a 2 month break after 10 months of cruising and they will consider it as 2 years of employment in continuation.. just write a good explanation letter

What are the bets that your contract with the cruise line was for either 6 or 9 months on and 3 months off between contracts? You have to convince ND that the is the way cruise lines work. You work 7 days a week during the contract and that during a year, even though you have a furlough, you still work at least 1950 hours a year. You need a statement from the cruise line how the staffing works, your contract should show most of it.
