Pros

Celebrity Cruises have lots of overnights so as a casino dealer we were able to get off the ship and enjoy nights out in Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong and plenty more. The money is competitive too.

Cons

My partner and I found the recruitment process very slow. Once we had been accepted it was 6 months before we were onboard and we had originally paid for flights to Australia only to have our itineraries changes 7 days before the flight and we were never reimbursed from celebrity for the £500 cancellation fees and hotel costs despite being told we would. With us there seemed to be mistake after mistake.

Pros

It offers a great working environment, especially considering the unique challenges of cruise life. Crew members generally understand the difficulties that come with the job, which creates a strong sense of support and teamwork. The compensation is competitive compared to many other cruise lines, and there are genuine opportunities for career growth for those who are motivated and willing to take on new challenges. The company also puts effort into maintaining crew morale through various activities, events, and initiatives.

Cons

There can be a perception of favoritism within certain departments, with some teams appearing to receive preferential treatment over others. At times, the culture can feel very hierarchical, where employees may feel they are viewed more as numbers rather than as individuals. Additionally, the nature of cruise operations can create challenges with work-life balance, and there is room for improvement in ensuring crew members have adequate rest, personal time, and support outside of their professional responsibilities. A stronger focus on leadership training, emotional intelligence, equal treatment across all departments, and a healthier approach to crew wellbeing would significantly improve the overall employee experience.
