The job gives me wonderful experience like guest interaction, photography skill improvement, lighting etc, also i got chance to work with international team and visit different tourist places.
Stressful, but with travel advantages
Waiter (Former Employee) – USA – September 12, 2018
Poor management, they don't care about employees at all. A workin day is very long, 10 to 14 hours every day. No days off, only when sick.
The only good thing is travel, you get to go out in ports on your free time.

Pros
Free Food, Free Gym, Staff Privileges, Ports of Call

Apprehensive about joining Cruise
Not employed (Former Employee) – Not Employed – August 18, 2018
I really need guidance from ex-employees specially from non-US citizens.
Next week I have an Interview with Carnival Cruise.
I have heard that while joining they make you spend almost 100$ in itsy-bitsy expenses. Bearing the expenses for Dental Checkups, Medicals are understandable. But what has disappointed me is to hear that the joinees have to pay for the VISA too. I have also heard that the cost of the Air-tickets from Home to the Port will also be payable by the joinee.
i would really appreciate if someone can enlighten me on this.

Good way to save up money and travel to exotic and beautiful places all over the world, and to meet and work with new people from all over the world, each and everyday
2 Years As Camp Ocean Staff
Youth Staff (Former Employee) – Miami, FL – August 13, 2018
My time with Carnival for the most part was really fun, I met new people from all over the world, had some of the best parties ever and travelled to lots of amazing destinations. Making money in American and then turning it into Canadian definitely was an advantage for me. It was easy to save money as food and board is provided on the ship. Management for the most part was really good but there can be favouritism with certain managers and staff. If your not liked by your manager it can really make your time on board a lot harder.
Pros
Travel, Parties, Free Food and Boar
Cons
Long Hours, Working Every Day

sales/customer service very fast paced
Sales Associate/Customer Service (Former Employee) – Colorado Springs, CO – August 10, 2018
During certain times of the year, it can be very fast paced where you are taking call after call after call, and then other times it is very slow. During the fast times you can make bookings left and right and make a lot of money. You do need to learn to save your money for the slow times.
Pros
discount on cruises
Cons
lots of overtime when they are busy
Good working environment that but challenging because of separation from family
Casino hostess (Former Employee) – Miami, FL – August 10, 2018
Productive,fun and challenging environment and able to travel and see a lot of places while saving money. Depressing because of being away from the family as you are always on the Ocean.
