Norwegian Cruise Line Reviews

Pros

Working for NCL is great if you love cruises and know a lot about cruise ships and their amenities. There are a wide variety of benefits available to you, if you need them, however, they can be a bit expensive, especially with the low wages. Great cruise benefits if you have the time off and can find the availability.

Cons

Low pay rate. My last 2 payroll checks have been late by at least 1-3 days. Benefits are mostly higher cost than other employers of this size. Our CEO is the highest paid of cruise line CEO's, however, instead of taking a pay cut, they decided to furlough hundreds of workers. Management is never on the same page and the right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing. Supervisors tell a LOT of lies. When I was hired, I was told that there would be plenty of opportunities for advancement, however, it is now widely known that most of the positions are available are only if you work in the Miami or Mesa offices. It is getting harder and harder to be promoted if you work from home. Before Covid, management fired several excellent supervisors, but kept other supervisors who didn't have nearly the knowledge of the ones let go. Earned incentive payments are also often delayed with many excuses, just like the payroll checks.
