      Disapproves of CEO

      I worked at Norwegian Cruise Line full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Good food in the crew mess

      Cons

      As baker , from Mauritius. I will not encourage a non-phillipino person to postulate for a job in the bakery department on Norwegian Cruise line.
      Because most of bakery crew members are Filipino. . Most of the head baker on the fleet are Filipino. .. The Cherry on the cakes, Even the fleet chief baker is from philipinne. ..
      You'll suffer from their harassment, The company cover and support them... because they benefits from these people in every ways... The best example 'cheap crew members ' 😊

      Advice to Management

      To change their attitude. .
      Be more honest and treat everyone same same

      Pros

      Travel benefits (when you can use them), Healthcare, Vacation/PTO

      Cons

      Workforce is not very skilled due to being the "third choice" cruise line company to work for in Miami - they seem to get the bottom of the barrel employees

      ZERO job security - frequent layoffs and firings

      Advice to Management

      Stop with the micromanaging and trust your employees to make the right decisions. FDR hovers like a helicopter mom.
