bobsfamily Posted June 7, 2016 #101 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Most shipboard jobs are filled through staffing agencies, not through the lines themselves. If you google sites like "cruise ship jobs", several will pop up with job descriptions and anticipated pay levels. Some specifically do not allow US citizens or residents to apply, leaving only those jobs where US citizens typically succeed, like kid's counselors and entertainment, to be direct hired by the line. Many other positions like casino, spa, and gift shop are hired by the company that has the franchise for those services. Very good answer to very old thread! I've met a handful of Americans that work on Carnival (and other lines), generally in the entertainment area or as a CD or Asst. CD. I once met a head Engineer that was from the US but immigrated from Scotland. Good luck with your endeavor ThatPerson... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfaaa Posted June 7, 2016 #102 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Know that cruise ship jobs are not like taking a cruise. There is hard work, little off time, cramped quarters and long contracts with penalties for leaving early. If you really want to get a taste of what cruise jobs are like, and want a salary that is more in line with US wages (though still around minimum wage for entry jobs), try NCL's Pride of America, which is US flag, so has to have an all (with a few exceptions) US crew. Or try USN and USCG. They are always hiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseycandyman Posted June 8, 2016 #106 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Does anyone on earth know what I can do to get a hold of Carnival's Human Resources Department? I've been calling for the past couple of days about the status of an application and everyone keeps transferring me to the wrong place. I've even hung in there long enough to GET to what is announced as "Human Resources" and when I get to finally talk to someone, they say their department hires for positions on land even though I selected 'shipboard'.....sooooooo confusing. hi my daughter works on carnival she is currently home on holiday she works as a entertainment host she has done 3 contracts so far what type of position are you looking for there are a lot of pros and cons if she can answer any questions let me know. john and country cole just off the magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
