[@nickwhitehead3873]

Research about the company and cruise line (if different) is the key here. You can learn about their products and services, the behaviours and skills required, the company values and mission statements, and the training you will required to do, as there are two distinct types of training, job training and safety training. Then you can see where you fit, and where you’re not sure, then that’s where your questions will come from! Good luck!

[@clarachalita8893]

Hey lucy, love your videos! Can we ask about the company's tattoos and piercings policies or is something we should already know before the interview?

[@emmib1388]

that is probably something you would want to research first -- and -- it would probably not be a first interview question because you are showing you are more concerned about yourself and not how hiring you can benefit the company. But if you do have visible tattoos and/or piercings -- you want to get the dress code at some time before accepting the position.

[@clarachalita8893]

@@emmib1388 i was only thinking about showing honesty towards the company in order not to get my hopes up for a spot and then not get it. but yes, i'll definitively search what is the policy before anything. i haven't thought of this point of view into the first impression, so thankss :)

[@lee8821c]

@@clarachalita8893 actually if they do say to you do you have any questions, you could ask about tattoo and piercing polices and they won’t think that your just thinking about yourself because the whole point of them asking if you have any questions is so that you can know what their expectations are, their policy and procedures this shows that you care about their dress code and the way you need to look. I worked for Disney cruise line and I’m going back with them in the summer I asked about tattoos and they responded with as long as it isn’t inappropriate or haven’t got loads, tattoos are allowed. It’s important as some companies don’t allow them. So don’t listen to the first person.

[@chefmax922]

Hello I hope you are doing well. I applied for a job opening directly on the Carnival Career website, I got a job offer on 4th of July and they sent me an email with onboarding instructions. I logged in to my Rose Login Portal and submitted my passport details and filled up the general data form along with the uniform details. The mail said that I will be getting a Crew ID number after I submitted those and I still haven't got any Crew ID number or a Joining Date. The medical facility says I need a joining date to further continue with my medical tests. I don't know what to do next. Can you kindly guide me?

How much European cruise companies are different comparing to Us companies, especially in term of passenger’s nationalities?

it all depends on the cruise line -- but any second /third language would be helpful ! Passengers travel all over to take cruises.
