I applied online. I interviewed at Carnival Cruise Line in Jan 2025
Interview
The process was fast. I applied and got through the process within a week. First, it was a required info session with a recruiter that explained the job, salary, requirements, schedule, etc. and then after the session, you were sent a self-paced video interview request, that included a few questions and a few games. If you passed that process, then there is a virtual interview with a manager. Next, once you pass that process, you are then sent a computer literacy test and then a conditional offer letter once you pass that phase. Overall, the process was very fast-paced. The recruiters were very nice and communicated very well.
