Great Place to Work
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Valencia, CA – December 27, 2012
Pros: great benefits, wages are decent, and value their employees
Cons: difficult to move horizontally within the company
Princess has many different opportunities and frequently rewards their employees, including special holiday luncheons onboard their luxury cruise ships. The medical and vacation benefits are amazing, and you will work hard and earn your keep. Beware the political structuring of the company and the enemy of an eternal perception - once you get on the – more... wrong person's bad side, you are definitely a black sheep. – less

Really fun and exciting workplace
Destination Manager (Former Employee), Fort Lauderdale, FL – July 26, 2012
Pros: cruise benefits, meeting new people everyday, awesome co-workers
Cons: standing for 8 hours and short lunch breaks if any
A typical day at work was long with lengthy periods of time spent standing and walking. But you always met new people and always went home with a new story to tell. I learned many things about the travel industry and to carry-on whenever possible. Management was fine. They were kind people who cared about you as a person. My co-workers were wonderful – more... people but mainly of an older generation. The hardest part of the job was constantly standing on your feet and not always having the ability to get lunch if you didn't bring your own. The most enjoyable was the constant meeting of new people who are happy to see you and the travel benefits. – less
