Good job to Hone my skills
Chef Assistant (Former Employee), Honolulu, HI – June 4, 2013
Pros: food, housing, competitive salary, learning workplace
Cons: sexual discrimination
I was given a job on the N.C.L.A. Pride of America after completing their training course in Piney Point, MD. I wanted to pursue a job in the culinary field this was an amazing opportunity to develop my desires. While employed i was shown a great learning workplace while maintaining all safety drills we participated in. Leadership was hard because it – more... was a primarily foreign ran company. I was a victim of discrimination so i voluntarily quit my position aboard the ship. – less

Good place to work at if you are in the right department
Revenue Management Market Analyst (Former Employee), Miami, FL – May 31, 2013
Pros: they think of employees as people not as numbers in an accounting budget
Cons: could have a more generous cruise policy to the employees.
I spent over a decade with them and saw many changes, some not so good, but at the time of my departure in 2012 changes were AWESOME!

There were was one department where management was not so good, in fact, the director has a Napoleonic complex, and is abusive and vindictive against employees, but because of the years of service and experience it is – more... overlooked. It is a small department so don't be affraid because the biggest area, Passenger Services, the VP is FANTASTIC! each manager there is better than the next! but overall it was a great experience!

The biggest downside is that employees paid almost as much as a paying customer to go on a cruise regardless of seniority.

They instituted a pension plan for everyone who had more than 30 years in the company (there are many people like that).

However, having now cruise with other cruise lines I can tell their on board service still has a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way to go to be similar to Disney or RCCL.

Nevertheless it was a very good place to work and I would say to anyone, if you have the chance to work there DO IT! – less

Working for NCL was good experience for me. I worked as junior waiter assisted the waiter to serve food to our guests. I’ve met different kinds of people all over the world traveling from island to island. The management was good and very well organized. The Staff is very friendly and team work oriented. The Ship has also provided me a place to stay – more... and food no charge.

I had the opportunity to see most all of the Hawaiian Islands.
Cook (Former Employee), Miami, FL – March 28, 2013
Pros: i enjoyed cooking and talking one on one with passengers.
Cons: i never knew what or who my boss was.the caucus, tension, turnovers and mean spirited management amazed me. d
As a former captain of tugs and tankers I was surprised by how totally unorganized a ship could be.
The captain and crew got the job done of getting the ship from port to port just fine, but the rest was a mess.

Pros: free accomodation and food
Cons: short breaks
While working in the Norwegian Cruise Line I never came to face any kind of major problems. I had a really co-operative team and really enjoyed working with my team mates. After a tiring day getting together with my team and some of the other staff we would enjoy a nice dinner. Even our seniors would join us so that made us feel very comfortable and – more... honored as well. It really built up a good relation between the seniors and as well as the junior staff. – less
