Fun to work for
(CVS) Carnival Vacation Specialist (Former Employee) – Home – February 18, 2019
Working with Carnival Cruise Lines is a great experience. Everything the company teaches you is straight forward. If you are into sales and you would like to work with a well known company high on demand. I recommend you check them out.
Fun company to work with!
Performer (Former Employee) – Florida – February 14, 2019
I was a performer on the ships, so my experience with Carnival is probably a little bit different than other people who have worked there. But it's still a great place to work! Everyone, including me, loved working on the ship.
Pros
Meals, lodging, exploring the world, meeting new people.
Cons
Long contracts, cabin-fever, no cell service.
Productive and Fun work place
FIT Service/Group Service/Guest Access (Current Employee) – Miramar, FL – February 12, 2019
My typical day at work was getting to the building, getting my breakfast from the down stairs cafe, going up stairs to the office saying good morning to my manager and fellow co-workers and getting ready to clock in and start receiving calls from the guests. The management team was always very fun, fair and supportive. I connected very well with them all and if it weren't for them, my daughter's godmother would not have had the opportunity to also get employed by carnival as well. The working environment is overall very fun and i was very blessed to have had the opportunity to work for the company. I would have never left if i didn't have to relocate for personal reasons. The hardest part of the job honestly was leaving, there wasn't really anything that i couldn't do while i was there. The most enjoyable part of the job was helping the guests always find the vacation of their dreams.
Pros
Three mini breaks and a half hour lunch
Cons
N/a
Long hours

Sales (Current Employee) – Miramar, FL – February 4, 2019
We are a Fun Ship company. The environment of people I work with make working here so much fun. There are days when it is busy and there are days when you can take a moment and wait for the next guest that wants to sail.
I love the Energy Great Vibes !

Would not recommend.
Manager (Former Employee) – Onboard – January 24, 2019
Would not recommend working here as their safety culture is largely for show and managers are often incentivized to cheat compliance.
While you are provided room and board on the ships, the money and benefits given to shoreside employees are far above the quality of benefits to those shipboard.

Assistant Gift Shop Manager
Assistant Gift shop Manager (Former Employee) – USA – January 23, 2019
Working for Carnival Cruise Line has been a life changing experience.
I spent 2 years on different ships sailing from US ports throughout the whole Caribbean and working in the retail shops onboard.
I have learnt most of the work in here and I have faced so many challenges involving time, people (customers), sales, deliveries, targets, rapports and so much more while sustaining my personal life as well on the other hand. Forever grateful for all.

Sales
Sales Representative/Customer Service (Former Employee) – Doral, FL – January 15, 2019
I loved working for carnival the employees got along and the pay was good, you received raise and incentives, some guest calling in wasn't always pleasant but we learned how to take control of the calls and help was there if we need it, sometimes the hardest part was when the customers knew what they wanted so no matter how you tried to up sell or offer something else, they wasn't going for it.
Pros
Benefits, pay, employees and traveling
Increase your confidence

Finance Specialist - Fleet Finance (Current Employee) – Florida, MA – January 4, 2019
There is a priceless time to work for Carnival so thi's great chance to improve professional skills in different ares. I learned a great deal in that role that served me well over the next time. Some of the things I admire about company are ability to learn how to manage troubleshooting situations, start to feel confident and work around proffessionals only.
Fun ships

Customer Care Professional (Current Employee) – Doral, FL – December 28, 2018
A typical work day involves assisting guests post cruise regarding their experience on board a Carnival Cruise. Additionally, I handle special accounts that require research and attention to detail. The workplace culture requires multitasking, deadlines and consistency.
The hardest part of my job usually occurs when there is a incident and the mass volume of correspondence that comes and the expected turn around time.
The most enjoyable part of the job is recognition for the effort and dedication in getting the job done.
