Carnival Cruise Line

Carnival Cruise Line holds a prominent position in the global cruise industry, ranking as the second largest cruise line based on various metrics such as annual passengers carried, revenue, and fleet size. It operates under the Carnival Corporation & plc, which is the largest cruise ship operator worldwide. In 2023, Carnival Cruise Line was estimated to transport approximately 18% of all cruise passengers globally.

Interestingly, the distinctive whale’s tail-shaped funnels found on most Carnival ships have an intriguing origin. Inspired by the design of the SS France, later known as the Norway under Norwegian Cruise Line, Carnival’s designer Joe Farcus incorporated elements from the France’s unique funnel design. The France featured wing-like protrusions on its funnels to channel engine exhaust away from the ship, rather than through the top of the smokestack as seen on many other liners.

Carnival Cruise Line offers competitive benefits and perks for its crew members, making it an attractive choice for potential candidates. The company boasts some of the best salaries in the industry, rivaling other cruise lines. Crew members also enjoy favorable amenities, including pleasant crew areas, complimentary internet plans, and fully paid travel tickets. Moreover, Carnival maintains a relaxed alcohol policy, allowing crew members to consume alcohol while off duty, with a maximum blood alcohol content limit of 0.05%. Additionally, crew members can purchase various alcoholic beverages at affordable prices once the crew bar opens.
