How to get rehired?
For those who try to get back to work for Carnival Cruise Line, here’s words of one crewmember who had successfully achieved the same:
(full text here: Carnival ReHire)
Here, I’ve completed the Carnival rehire process, so follow these steps carefully if you find yourself in my shoes in the future:
1. Send inquiry to Carnival crew assistance mail crewassistance@carnival.com
2. Wait for your email to get forwarded to Steven Madrid (in my case, it was one month)
3. Wait for Steven Madrid to grant or deny re-hire request (in my case, 3 minutes from the time I got the answer from crewassistance@carnival.com.)
4. Complete your medical exam and send all documentation obtained, together with the MMR vaccine, to the Carnival medical staff newhirephysicals@carnival.com. Before sending, find a way to resize your attachments to KB size instead of MB, or you’ll risk getting “failed to send email” messages from your email client.
If you keep failing to send email to newhirephysicals@carnival.com, try crewmedical@carnival.com and ppeme@carnival.com
5. Wait for medical staff to respond (in my case a month and a half, my doctor forgot to give two findings, and that’s why it got delayed)
6. Wait on Letter of Employment
The first email I sent 11th of September, the date of embarkation I got is 5th of December.
All in all, just shy of 3 months of waiting.

I have taken retirement last year reason medical unfit from ccl medical board .now it been long almost 1 year..so is there any chance for me to apply again for company yo rehire me.
To be considered for re-employment, you must be able to attain “fit for duty” medical certificate, from Carnival’s appointed medical professional. After that, you can try to re-apply by sending relevant medical certification to crewassistance@carnival.com and newhirephysicals@carnival.com
Thanxx a lot for your suggestion….keep in touch for futher suggestion

i asked my agent to send a later for rehireing – they sed that star cruise dont reply, and its slightly a chance that they answered for it….. but i think agency just not interesting to get me back
PLEASE hope for your respond!!!
Hi Anna,
From you text, I understand the company is not interested in rehiring you, otherwise – they would have replied to you already.
The company has a very large number op new candidates to choose from, and they don’t want to deal with someone like you, who resigned just a month ago.
It is very strange that you are trying to get back to the same company where you resigned only 30 days ago.
You should focus on other companies, the cruise industry is much larger than just Star Cruises.
from Anna thank you for the answer, but i mail any way on that email that i had.i found this Manager Arlen https://vk.cc/5SluGY from my email at linkedin site but I cannot find the email address for HR department on linkedin,maybe you can explain how to find email contacts on LinkedIn if you know the name of the manager, I come across such an article but I lost it…. two of my Batch (friends)maids are still working on the ship that’s why I was considering maybe they can rehire me(because 90% is Chinese stuff and we wore 4 European for all ship staff) two of them stayed.
another question that I was so dumb enough I did need to get my contract and sign off paper (that paper that I that I signed about quitting my job by my own intentions )from the personnel (maybe it’s HR but we call it personnel )what should I do I don’t know any of emails. hope for your respond,thank you
*made mistake
another question that I was so dumb enough I did NOT get my contract papers from the ship and sign off paper (that paper that I that I signed about quitting my job by my own intentions )from the personnel (maybe it’s HR but we call it personnel )what should I do I don’t know any of emails. hope for your respond,thank you
I was worked @ c.c.l 2009 as a commies seven months. After that want go emergency to my home country, family situation. Then i came back to join the ship after done my annual vacation. When i re-join florida, miami am mistake to work land in america as a chef. Because of my friends given me a bad idea & advice but i cant able to survive @ land in america coz of weather and work place.So i decided to came back to my home country after few months. Now am working as a chef my home country. I feel very bad miss my golden offer @ c..c.l family . Am intrested re-join. Could you explain me? Is in my case possible or not re-join?
Thanking you.
Once you turn down the cruise line, they mark you “not to rehire”.
It seems that you were expected to join the ship, and you didn’t show up, without explanation.
I don’t see how could they ever take you back. You had your chance.
They have hundreds and thousands of candidates with a clean history waiting for a chance to work on a cruise ship.
I was dismssed on 01/03/2014 and my Position was galley steward bit I have being in the fell of assistance weater. So if you can find in your good heart to give me assistance weater job it well be so much better for me……….
There is no way of appealing after you have been dismissed. You should probably be looking for other cruise line company to work for.
Hi I am former employee of carnival cruise lines in culinary arts .I gave resignation in January .Can I rehire by carnival cruise lines.
I don’t see why would they rehire you? You have just resigned.
Thank you for replying me back .is there any chances after 6 months please guide me..
I work on carnival Cruise line only 4 week because my son was die I took emergency off and now I am in home I send email crewassistance@ carnival.com they Rly me your request has been approved they forward mail crew shoulder but shoulder not Rly me what your thik they rehire me yes or no
sorry for your loss. I can not say what will happen, the answer should come from Carnival.
Sounds like they are going to rehire you, but those things take time, be prepare to wait for possibly very long time.
I had a interview with mr, Neale Maker,I wasn’t pass the interview last September 2014 because I can’t to explain of some cocktail knowledge, now I’m full of power knowledge as well and I’m improving my all the product knowledge. I’m hoping to take me back again once pleases! Carnival is my dream place to work
Thanks
hm .. ok …
Hi, i ran into a crew member to cheer her up from the back cause she was being feeling really stressed and down for a fee weeks.
My arm hit her lower chin as she was turning around and she bit her tongue. I apologized on the spot but she was to upset to accept my apologies.
She said it was a deliberate act and i got fired she wasn’t left to see me so i could explain.
Now she messages me back and said she is sorry she was just upset and wish for her to speak to someone to get my job back.
This was so unfair to me i am just a fun person and really wanted to cheer her up. Wish some1 would listen and reconsider.
This is so hard for me being so innocent in this case what can i do or who can she speak to?
Once you got fired, it is next to impossible to get back, because the appeal process works only while you’re onboard.
It is hard to believe that you could be fired without approval of at least 4 high ranking officers onboard (Captain, Staff Captain, Hotel Director, HR manager).
And if they all approved your dismissal …
What if she is onboard and she appeals to the onboard HR does that work?
She would have to explain why she lied in her statement that got you fired. You see, if company gets you rehired, that would be admission of guilt, and then you could sue company for unlawful termination of your contract. I don’t think they would risk the lawsuit.
How is your performance history? Any previous warnings or reprimands?
Nope my records are all clear. I was highly favored by all my crew and managers because of the person i am. Friendly interactive exciting fun and hard working.
Tough. What are you planning to do? I know that it’s possible to get re-hired after successfully suing the company for wrongful termination, but for that – you need that slapped girl on your side, and she is still there …
I dont want no suing of any type ,miss understanding do happen we are all humans. I just want to get back to do what i love cause carnival treated me like family. They even recorgnized me after my 1st 3 months of employment they gave me a chance to make it in life. I owe them that much i just want to get back to do what i love in a place i have grown to love in such a short period of time
I had been on carnival splandor for 3 days i fell in my cabin n got injured ,they told me to go home n tke treatment when i was signin ma disembarkation form I mistekenly ticked marked on non rehire so are there any chance of hiring me back as it was my i had sended many emails but they are teeling me that they cant rehire me back so plz if any one can help plz do needfull m very poor…..
I don’t know how can you be the one to mark “not to rehire”, it is cruise line’s task.
You say that they treated you like family, but family is not going to fire you without giving you a chance to explain what has happened. Carnival is not a family, it’s a corporation, making a fabulous living by exploiting labor from all over the world. The owner of a company is the richest person in Florida, and his wealth has not been acquired by treating people like family, but treating people like slaves. I just don’t see any other way to get re-hired than filing a lawsuit. A corporation like Carnival is not ruled by sentiment. Any way, a slapped girl still works for Carnival, and she is (officially) not going to be on your side. Until she does …
People view things differently. The owner isnt the one serving the guest and interacting with me everyday. Is the people that makes the cruise line and it was them who treated me like family. I dont know the owner while working there my conditions were 100 times better than even my own country. Sorry to say everyone makes mistakes and carnival have some of the greatest employees in the world i have ever met. Winning or filling a lawsuite wont ever fill in the happiness i found just by being part of this family. Maybe i am stupid or naieve but i really wanna work hard to achieve my goals in life and i just want to be delt with fairly in this case.
Carnival is never going to admit any mistake. You can count on that.
It wasnt their mustake coming to think of it. It was the girl who said she got hit and said it was deliberate. She even bit her tongue she couldnt speak and was really upset. Didnt want apologies or wanted to listen to me. Only now claiming she judge wrongly because she was upset scared and confused. So carnival worked with her statement against mine. Alos my visiting her was anonymous to her as well. Which made me look more suspecious and made her more confused, when i only came to cheer her up by sneaking from the back at the medical center.
This is so true…I’ve been one of the victims before and was not given a chance even to be employed by other cruise companies.. They have denied me of my certification for years that I was leading and pleasing them it was too late when they issued me a copy of a certification which led to unsatisfactory results for some other cruise lines… too bad that my family was the one to suffer such results.. I could not even believe how hard hearted CCL’s HR head that if only they saw how i plead for that certificate or even to rehire me…well that’s life..they maybe on top for now but soon they’ll suffer the same consequences that they have given to other crew…. I’m just one of the thousands of crew that sufdered such exploitation…no thanks to the HR Head of CCL…
Hello,
I was a former employee of CCL for 5 yrs from 2004 to 2009. I was not able to go back to work due to family issues ( death ). Do I stand a chance to be able to work with CCL again? I’m worried since it is almost 6 yrs, I don’t have any medical nor performance issue during my stay, will the company be considerate enough to hire me back?
Thanks,
It has been a while, but you do have decent chance to get back.
Hopefully, you did let them know that you were unable to return. If you said nothing, and just didn’t show up, that’s a problem.
That’s not true, man send in your application gain and be patience for and asnwer, we all make mistake, cranial have humbleness and always try to help people whether you dint shows up, everything he an explination, you took a wrong desicion that’s fine, but it’s does not means that your door really lock, you can apply for nother department and then later make a positions change.
This is from crew member that worked with carnival for 32 years, and carnival gave a second chances, this dministration is sending notes like carnical don’t have any remorce
This only applies for carnival? or the other cruise lines that belong to carnival corporation?
Define “this”
Hi I worked for Carnival +10 years ago, I completed 9 months and went back on second contract, I went back after 2 months holiday but had to go home for family emergency. But did not go back now I am keen to go again. Will I be able to re-goin ? And if at all possible will my partner be able to apply with me?
Thanks for your assistance
Hi, I worked for Carnival +10 years ago. I completed 9 months contract went on break for 2 months,returned on to Victory but after only being back a short time I had te resign from ship going home, now I am keen to come back. Will I be able to re-apply and how does the process work. I would also like to know if my partner can apply with me?
Thanks for your assistance and hope to hear from you soon.
Hi, i was onboard when my mother passed away but i chose not to go on emergency because of financial, instead i sent money to use for paying and arranging her wake and internment. Then i went on vacation as scheduled, i arrange things about my mothers property because there are some who are eager to grab this from us who are the legitimate heirs. When i realized that it will consume my vacation i immediately sent an email to crewassistance that i cannot leave the country and join the scheduled ship to start a new contract. They replied back and said that if im ready to come back just contacf my agency. It took me more than a year to finish everything, then i sent an email last nov. 2014 telling them that im ready to come back, again they replied back and said it will go on the process of rehire. Right now the shipboard said there is no available openings.
My question is, is this a manifestation of not rehiring me back or they will still rehire me soon when opening comes? Wish for your thoughts about this. Thanks.
Have a wonderful day.
If you are waiting 14 months to get back into rotation, it is reasonable to assume that something has gone wrong.
Try to re-establish a contact with the company.
Well actually, it was just last November 2014 when i reported to my agency in compliance with what crewassistance advise, i even sent an email straight to Steven Madrid, luckily he is responsive and he was the one who said there is no opening yet. It is now about less than 4 months iam waiting, i have a strong communication with company because we have an agency to do that. Do you think it is worth waiting? I mean, is there a chance for me to get rehire?
What dou you feel about this.? Thanks.
Sorry, my mistake, confused 2013 and 2014.
It is worth waiting.
One crew-member (at my forum) claims to have been rehired after 4 years of leaving the company. But not without re-interview with the local recruiting agency.
If you have some time, go and try to read topics on the subject of rehire by using Google translate. (Croatian-English)
Hi again, i wrote some inquiry regarding my rehire case, i would like to tell you that miami office replied on my emails and approved my rehire. You are right it is worth waiting, just finished my medical and waiting for letter of employment.
God bless.
Hi I got recently fired for being sick with diarreah on the ship I reported it. I spoke to the docter she asked me when did I had my last regular bowels I told her 3 days ago but I guess she didn’t understand or there was a miscommunication because I got fired for not reporting it on time. I want to go back on the ship to wk will I ever be rehired even at a later date
You can forget about Carnival.
As far as they are concerned, you have been spreading norovirus outbreak for three days, and you said nothing about it.
Everybody knows what is the first step when contracting virus. Report to the onboard medical center immediately. Failing to do that results in termination.
Miscommunication is not an excuse, for if you don’t understand such a simple instruction, you are safety risk for everybody onboard. Sorry to be brutally honest.
i send mail to crewassistance and i got this answer
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Crew Assistance.
As you have been away from Carnival since 2009 it is necessary that you reapply as a new applicant.
You must contact the nearest Carnival approved recruitment agency to reapply & please remember to include your previous crew ID number in the “Former Employer” section of application.
We hope you understand that being a former employee does not guarantee reemployment.
All the best,
Marta
i finish my last contract as a team headwaiter and now i need again to do the interview my question is on which position i coming back
You should get back to the last position you held on – team headwaiter.
Yes but in agency they said that there is no guarantee position
Of course they would say that. They say that to every person regardless if he was hired and worked for Carnival before or he is new-hire. There has never been any guarantee about the cruise ship jobs, no matter what the company name was.
I understand that, but I am worried that maybe they put me again from the beginning, from ass waiter, if I can be sure that I will be team waiter or head waiter it is OK and now I don’t know what to do
Yes but i was not sick for three days my last regular bowels were 3 days before i came to the doctor. what Im trying to say is that i didn’t use the bathroom until that day i saw the doctor. the first sign of me being sick i reported it that day, that is where she didn’t understood me. I didnt use the bathroom for two day prior going to the doctor.
Like I said, there’s no one to listen your plea. You had a chance while you were onboard, now is too late.
You just go to agency, ans say what they wrote to you. Don’t even raise the question of position. Act as it is normal that you’re there for head waiter interview, and only if they ask, tell them from crewassistance said that.
Carnival has no reason to demote you, because your income generates from tips anyway.
They always need good head waiters.
Hi, you said that if you get fire it is next to impossible for you to get rehired. Well i am very fortunate to see a lot of people who got
fired due to infractions or violation of rules and reinstated after some months, some of them are very known to me. A cook who left a half lighted cigarette in cabins garbage bin which created huge smoke that was visible along the corridor and even up on the crew mess. He was sent home or got fired, after several contracts i met him onboard and he told me that he was re hired after few months. Another case was a group of head waiters and assistant waiters was sent home because of deck cleaning, the other head waiter made it back on duty one week before surpassing 190 days off the ship, so was not even rehired because his years of service continued, the assistant waiter was rehired as well. What do you think, how the company rightly deciding on who to rehire and who not to? I really love your column! Atleast i have a place to share my experiences for the past 11 years of my stay with cruise line.
Hi Angel,
I’ve been sitting on many meetings where the Captain would fire a crewmember, and I saw him grant a pardon only once, and that’s because the crewmember to discipline was Italian like he was. Most of the time, it was just a formal meeting, and poor crewmember didn’t even have a chance to plea his case. That’s why I believe that getting back after fired is mission impossible.
However, I have no reason not to trust you. Especially because there is sometimes very strange game in play. I was surprised to hear that some crewmembers got back to the company after being fired, but on another cruise ship in a fleet. Apparently, the cruise company is split in, sort of, smaller firms, like one ship – one firm. So, legally, they don’t take you back, but they actually do.
You get fired from Victory, but after a while hired to Fantasy. I never investigated in details, but that’s what I’ve heard from several crewmembers.
Anyways, I run a cruise ship jobs forum, with hundreds of active crewmembers, and if you would like to visit and speak your mind, you are welcome. The forum’s English section is a bit neglected, but all forum’s members understand English.
Hello again, you are right sometimes really strange things happens, and there is nothing wrong with giving second chances, i will always be around to follow your forum.
Thanks.
i worked for carnival cruise line in the year 2013. and my futher contact got dismissed due to my mistake and i am feeling guilty for that . Is their any possibility to get re-hired .
I don’t think so. There is no one to complain to. Once you get labeled with not-to-rehire code (NTR), there is no going back.
I was fired Would other company hire me?
I don’t see why not. Just don’t mention ever working for company that fired you.
i don’t turn back to work. can i come back to work with carnival?
And why didn’t you turn back? How long ago? Have you provided Carnival with explanation or you left them waiting and expecting, until they realize you’re not coming?
I’m from India and want join ccl. How to join company. Any one with answer. help ne
http://www.kruzeri.com/where-to-apply/
i told them, and i had to attend a court case as a witness
And what did they reply?
Hi, it’s me again,
I wrote some inquiries regarding my rehire case few weeks ago. I would like to tell you that the office (miami) has approved my rehire i recieved the email couple of weeks ago, even my agencies sent mail to me telling to report for medical.
As of now waiting for medical approval and letter of employment.
You are right, it is worth waiting! God bless.
I worked for Carnival Cruise lines for almost 12 years as a Stateroom Steward it is possible if I can be a team member again of the said corporation very much willing to undergo medical process as soon as I entitled to do the process of Carnival re-hire start.
Thank you and more power to all of you in HR department.
good luck, but i am not in HR department, or any department for that matter …
Hi,
How long *should* it take for Carnival to approve your medical? I’m going through an agency and I see you’ve listed some emails here that I could contact. Essentially, those e-mails are the ones that my recruiter is in touch with? I don’t want to go behind my recruiter’s back and try to contact Carnival myself and get on my recruiter’s bad side and delay the process even more? lol. The agency told me it could take up to 3 months (extreme cases) to just get the medical approved… How will I know that Carnival even received it. The medical centre told me they sent it but I don’t want to wait a month to be told they’ve never received it or something stupid like that. Should I just trust my recruiter?
Thanks for your help. 🙂
You could ask the company email contact if they have received your medical documents. There’s no harm in that.
thanks 🙂
I.ve worked 20 plus years with ccl until I took my retirement wish to pursued the dream tried the new life by opened business .now almost 2 years of strugelling the business did not work as I expected to be instead took all my investment. I retired with the good work file and good medical record December 2013 .ship carnival spirit .Australia .my last position t.h waiter..now I have made up my mind wish to come back for another years ..mis a lot of things. Ship,job,friends ,and best memories for the last 20 years . is it possibility of rehiring crew like me is 50-50:granted ?
You have to realize, cruise industry has no mercy. It will take the best from you, and dump you when you get old, ill, or unable to perform at the required level.
That being said, if you have a personal connection onboard, like a manager who remembers you and consider you to be reliable worker, he is your best chance.
And if you made no friends in over 20 years onboard, chances of you getting back into cruise industry drop dramatically. Good luck!
Well .that,s what exacly I have in mind the age factor is taking a big part of consideration of being rehire by the company I made relation with a lot of manager on board that .I worked with . was real reality bite ..on and off.. All they knew.. Was my best work performances . not as personally ..
Hello,
I just wanted to know, in case of re-hire who failed to pass the medical test, is there any chances of re applying? I mean if Carnival still gives another chance to consider reapplying? Did you ever heard or encounter such case?
Thanks
If you had failed the medical, and informed Carnival about it, it’s probably “game over”, but if they don’t know, solve the issue that you have, and pass the medical.
Hi,
When carnival grant you with the process of rehire and you failed with medical does the company gives some grace period you to re apply in the future? or is it also tagged not to rehire again?
i really love your column. again.
Thanks
As long as the company doesn’t know that you have failed, you can try and try again. But if you tell them that you have failed, it’s pretty much game over.
Iwas Sign off on august 2014,and suposed join on December 12,2014,its because delay report to my local Agent CTI Bali to proces my Visa and Medical,give me the solution,I wanna go back to join again,,,give me the Way to solve my problem,thanks admin.

Hi. I would like to know how likely it is for me and my husband to be rehired after two years off ships. Both of us are in good standing with RCL. Would it be possible to be sent to the same ship if we got rehired? We’ve already sent our requests about a week ago but haven’t got any answer yet. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks.
A week of waiting is nothing to worry about. Give it a couple of months, at least. That’s just how it works. If possible, contact some friends or manager onboard to lobby on your behalf.
How would be lthe effect of the email I sent to the address listed .at carnival rehired process ..how long I could the feed back .from crewassistet @carnival.com. whether .I got rehired or rejected .. Thanking you
Supardi sasmita . applicant
My friend it should be crewassistance@carnival.com
You can wait for answer from crewassistet@carnival.com until the end of time, and you would never get it, since that email address doesn’t exist.
I.was written that email address wrong . but actualy I did write. Correctly as I emailed the crew assistence was crewassist@carnival.com.
-Hello my name is Sava …
We had problem in photo lab one month ago someone stole equipment from our photo lab and
took 3 cameras,6 lenses and some flashes worth 24.000$. they couldn’t found that week
who stole so they send some guy investigator from office to see what happened and to solve
a problem.All of us are spoke with him off course and me ,when i start to tell my side of story
what happened he stopped me and told me that i and my roommate the main suspect because they check the key log
from my room and he told me that i am coming in my room at 3:15am and again at 4:18am and he is coming 2 minutes after me in 3:17am and 4:20am
when is a time when someone move the security camera and stole equipment,which is not true because i was all night with my girlfriend in her cabin all night,and my cabin-mate came around 3am to sleep in mine and his cabin after he wash his laundry ,i and my girlfriend came in her cabin at 2 am and since 10 am we didn’t go out,and the security log from her room saying that we coming inside only once in cabin and we get inside of room at least 4 time before 2am,to go the restroom,to take cigarets,to pick up noodles and to sleep…he went after our conversation whit security to search mine and my girlfriend’s room, of course they didn’t found nothing because i didn’t do that … she was also had conversation whit investigator and she told him in every single detail what happened that we was together in same room
all night, he was started to yelling at her how that she is lying and she want to protect me and stuff and he started to threat her how is he gonna fire her because of that..After that day they forbade us to get off the ship that week .
The next week coming and they telling us to go to security office to give police mans DNA which i went very quick because i was happy to give that just to prove that i wasn’t there and to prove that im innocent, and then i needed to tell my story again whit yelling and torturing ,they treat me how im gonna go home anyway if im guilty or not
I was scared because it was my first contract wiling to work not to steal, he started to treat me all the time.
Since then they told that we can not go outside of our cabin like im the prisoner,until they solve the problem, and staff captain doesn’t wanted to do that but anyway we can not get off the ship… it was 2 weeks like that,like prisoner on ship and suddenly it was Port Canaveral ,embarkation day ,the main HR director telling us that we need to go to polygraph ,i was more then happy
just to finish whit this harassment and nightmare.
So i went with one taxi driver about 50-60 miles from ship to some police station there we met one main officer “Giff” -(something like that)…and they kept me in one small cold room 3 hours until my cabin-mate finish,and suddenly one lady coming to take my finger and hand prints,and after that i came in one room to go on polygraph,i sit on the chair the officer explain me that he gonna ask me a some questions which i need to lie and some of them i need to tell truth,so i was ready just to end that thing once forever.
he started to testing me and we finish around 30-40 minutes…after he finish he put his chair next to me and start to laugh ,and he told me that i failed
on the test,i was surprised and scary because i knew it that he setting me up or he want from me to admit or something,i told him that is huge mistake because i didn’t do that and i don’t know who did it,and he started to yelling at me soo loud that he was terrified me,and he told me that they already found my finger prints
which i gave 50 minutes ago, i knew it that he was lying, after him two officers coming inside and started to write my rights…i almost started to cry,because i know
that i am innocent and because only of the key log i am sitting there and only because i am the only suspect…they start to ask me again what happened that night,and they acted a very unprofessional because they had some wrong information, they didn’t even know some correct information from that case and they acted like i kill someone
and i need to go in jail.
They kept to scream on me all the time ,it was all most 2 hours how they asking me again same questions and all the time they forcing me to admit and i told them,okay if you already have my DNA my Finger prints and im lying on polygraph then bring me on court ,because i knew it they lying,i know that is impossible to find my DNA,and finger prints and to lie on polygraph because i was not there…and they keep me almost till 3:15 pm and we arrived around 8 am,and they send me on the ship only because the ship almost sailed away,…and we came on ship,we spoke about what happened the same words the same moves everything is planed like in bad cheap movie…of course we cannot go out and that week…the last day of that cruise 17 April is coming,and that morning HR director calling me in his office to told us that they fired us…i almost start to cry this is the worst thing what happened to me and i ask him why? and he told me that we are lying on polygraph and company doesn’t “trust” us,and i ask him to show me that report from polygraph test he doesn’t even wanted to listen to me…they set us up,all world was crushed for me…we went with security to my room to pack and we had 1 hour to live the ship,and they send us whit some security guy from their office to airport to make sure that im going to airplane.
……and about that key log is possible but 12 hours forward,because we finish in that time whit work exactly but 3:15 pm and came back from safety drill at 4:17 pm,so only answer is that they wanted to blame someone no matter what….Now im at home,i don’t feel good ,i cannot sleep i have psychical problems because of that,I visited the doctor and now I drink tranquilizers, because of that.
Please give me some advice,its obvious that they set me up only because they couldn’t find the right one,just to tell that they found somebody,im a very disappointed i wanted only to WORK nothing else.
They are harassing me, hurt mine honor, kept me closed, all without evidence and reason … please if you have an idea, to find a solution.Thank you !
First, I am sorry to hear such a terrible story.
Why wouldn’t you share it at popular local forum? http://www.inozemstvo-posao.com/smf_1-1-2_install/index.php
Secondly, Your only move is to engage a US based lawyer, specialized in wrongful termination of employment. To be honest, your chances of re-employment or compensation are slim, because lawyers tend to stick to injury cases, a proven moneymaker. But at this point, you don’t have much to lose. Although your case seems to be easy to prove in a court of law, based on lack of any physical evidence, cruise line industry is notoriously ignorant of its employee’s human rights and presumption of innocence.
Popularize your case. Wish you luck.
Hi all, about rehire proces, i received aproved mail from newhirephysical@carnival and i would like to know what should i do next,should i write a mail or just to wait for LOE ? thank you for your time
http://www.inozemstvo-posao.com/smf_1-1-2_install/index.php?board=196.0
Hi,
Can i re apply again after failing the medical test? Does the company considers repeat of hiring process after maybe months or years?
Thanks.
Hello
I wrote mail to crewassistance and they reply to me that i have to talk to steven madrid about my rehire process.So crewassistance reply me in about 3 days and its been like 15 days since i send mail to steven and still no reply. Anyone know how long does it take for steven to reply the mail
Cheers
If you don’t qualify for rehire , you may never receive the answer from him.
How long should it take for carnival to approve medicals.
I have sent them thru email a medical fit certificate and all docs personally.
Nobody knows. It’s a corporation.
i would like to ask you about how to get back to the ship from emergency sign off,because i have been reported to agent a months ago and there is no anwers and just say wait.And i also sent email to crewassistance a weeks ago and there is no answer as well..i sent email to crewassistance regarding how to reimburse the ticket and i need new schedule..so,what can i do…can you help me to get back to the ship as soon as possible…
It is strange that Carnival would not get back to you to tell you how to reimburse them for the ticket. They are usually quick when collecting money.
You should probably just wait. Some people wait up to a year to get back. You see, after you have gone, somebody else has taken your place. Carnival was not holding an empty cabin onboard, and continued an operation with one worker missing. They employed another one. Now, it would be unfair to dismiss new crew-member and terminate his contract just because you want to get back. You, and others who want to get back, from 40 and something countries in the World, have to wait until somebody else gets sick, gets promoted, or quit his job and a slot opens, and only then Carnival’s scheduler will contact one of you.
Another thing, if your work performance has not been satisfying, Carnival just might not call you at all. Be prepared to provide the proof of your emergency leave.
hi! i would like to know what is the process of an emergency leave? i went on an emergency leave last december and i reported to the agency last april and emailed steven madrid the proof of the emergency. but until now he didnt replied yet. how long does it take to know if he will approve the come back? or does he even reject someone coming from an emergency leave? thanks!
Every cruise line company has slightly different “emergency leave” conditions. If you have worked for Carnival, take a look at your contract, it should be written there. As for the approval to get back, it might take months. Your request is one of the many. I think cruise lines prefer to employ candidates without history of “emergency leave”, thus improving chances of having no requests in future. “Emergency Leave” is something cruise lines provide, but try to prevent it with any means available, since it costs them $$$.
So I was fired from 1 cruise company years ago for failing a drug test, I had no charges or problems, just sacked. Could I apply for a different company now? would they know I got fired from my last company?
Go ahead. The cruise line companies do not cooperate in that matter. But be careful, Carnival, for example, owns 10 individual cruise line brands, and if you’re fired from one, you’re most likely fired from all.
You best don’t mention any previous ship experience at new interview, it could only lower your chances to get a job.
HI there.
I have a question.
I got dismissed from CCL on 2009. And i want to know if I have the chance, after 6 years, to be rehired. .. it’s there any chance tho???
No. Dismissal from one cruise line has no expiration date, it is forever. Try another cruise line company.
Hey,
So I was hired in 2012 as EStaff. I left 5 into my contract due to property damage from Hurricane Sandy. I switched to the youth department and worked 4 months before having to leave on emergency. I was told I was elginle for rehire by my youth director, she gave me a great evaluation and even wrote me a letter of recommendation.
I have reapplied to EStaff now just a few days ago…. My concern is that because I left on emergency that They may frien on that.
What’s your thoughts?
You’re right, they won’t like people who went on emergency …
Who paid for an air ticket when you went for emergency leave, you or company?
I paid for the ticket. My ex husband who had care of my son was deployed unexpectedly by the USCG and I had to go home to take care of him. They knew this, and told me I was leaving on good standing.
I applied for a position as Club O2 director in May and got interviewed, so I’m assuming HR said im elgible for rehire…. I can’t imagine they would interview me for a position if they were not cleared to hire me. I didn’t get the pisition, but… I also didn’t have a degree behind me that was preferred for the position.
you should be fine then …
Hi, I also have one question…Me and my husband resigned from NCL few months ago, because we had one very good business opportunity. That was our second contract, we did not made any problems and we had good evaluations. Now I can see that on NCL was better. Can we go back, even if we have status DO NOT HIRE? Manager gave us that status, but when we when in HR department he told us that is possible to get back on, because we have good remarks any we didn’t get fired, we resigned….So can you tell me what do you think. Because I dont want to make a bigger mistake.
I don’t see how could you make a bigger mistake … Try and see what happens.
Hello i have one question i worked for carnival almost 6 years from 1 of august 2015 till july 2012..my ID 294175..and i,m from bali indonesia….my position was cabin steward…but on july 2012 i had really serious personal family matter so i went for emergency sign off and everything it has been ok now…so i have plan comeback to join again with carnival..may i have chance to come back or not??i had a good evaluation while i working with carnival…i never had problem. . if you don’t mind could you give me idea?? Thank you very much in advance. .
Well, I can only give you my opinion, and that’s not much, so it’s best for you to try and see what happens. The rehire instructions are explained in text above.
hi i would like to know if there is any chance to get rehire in any of the cruises in carnival corp ,, i worked as a bar waiter i didnt get rehired coz’ low performance i just ile to know if possible to get rehired in any company involved with carnival corp , thanks,,
I don’t see how? Carnival tracks its former employees, and have tons on new applicants waiting for opportunity …
My boyfriend and I had a fight.. Both of us sent home, we’re terminated. will it be posible for carnival to rehire us again? Or do I have to apply on other cruise line? Do I still have a chance to work still on other cruise line company? Please answer…
You should forget about rehire, and try another cruise line ..
Hi! My case: I worked for RCCL for over 8 years, with only one warning on file (given on my 1st contract in 2007) was dismissed from my job because a galley utility was in my working area and he handed me a plate of food which I stored on my trolley to throw away, behind him was coming the staff captain, he took the food and question me if that had happend before, to which I responded No, that I didn´t know the name of the galley utility.
This incident ocurred on a thrusday and I was fired on the following Monday.96 hours after the incident happend.
My question is: Was it right to dismissed me after so many days/hours? Can I be rehire?
Thanks for your answer.
My opinion; After being fired for trying to smuggle food to crew quarters, you don’t stand any chance for rehire. Especially because Staff Captain was involved.
Years of service don’t mean squat to them.
Why don’t you try another cruise line company?
Hi,
With CCL is it only Steven Madrid who is responsible for deciding who gets rehired? All those tons of emails he has to go through everyday and decide who gets the job. Is there not anyone else we can plead to?
Hi is The ONE.
Hi I worked on carnival as a show band singer an had a lot problem with my MD he treated me bad an as I finish my first contract before I left the ship he called me in a room an told me that I don’t think this the job for you.I told my agent that I wanted to do the 2.0 band.is there a chance for me or no.
It’s hard for me to tell. You should probably start looking at other cruise line companies. Your agent is probably not working with carnival only.
Hi,
Do you know if agencies could still be willing to help with getting you a spot in a cruise company even if they know that you’ve been dismissed from one?
Do agencies usually work for any cruise line company or there is an existing partnership between some cruise lines and some agencies?
Thanks.
I guess some agencies would be willing to help, but only if you pay them well, and if your dismissal was not for some serious crime. Why don’t you just go to other agency and don’t mention previous cruise line work?
Hi,
Back in Feb. of last year I got hired for a position onboard, 2 wks in unfortunately I had to ask for an emergency leave due to problems back home. Finally had everything fixed and am planning on applying,not necessarily on the same cruise line,not thinking of mentioning my previous shipboard exp, but I was just wondering, would this,in any way affect my application once my Seafarer’s book is checked? Thanks!
No hiring staff checks seaman’s books. Nothing to worry about.
do u know where and how to get hired at HollandAmerican halcats vocalist
First you find agencies that hire musicians, and then see which one works with Holland America.
Good morning
Umesh
491152 crew number
Fill the forum rehir and send the mail crewassistance@carnival.com. but do not got any reply. Complete 35days.
Umesh, Carnival’s email reply time is widely unpredictable. It often stretches to several months. I am guessing that the wait time depends a lot on your last evaluation. If it was bad, you may never hear from them again, and your Carnival story is finished.
Hi! I am a new hired. I work for 2 weeks and signed off due to my son is missing. That time i told the hr that i want to go home because i miss my family so much. And i could’nt focus because its bothers me a lot. I did’nt told them the true reason. I am totally distressed at that time. Do i have a chance if returning to the company
I don’t think so. Carnival has no guarantee that you wouldn’t do it again. It would cost them money, and whenever there’s situation like that, you can be sure they won’t risk spending their money.
Besides, having distressed people on a ship is a huge safety risk.
My name is Felipe Freire, an ex CSA back in 2011…… I already sent an email to you, just would like to know if the email really got thru and what are my chances to be accepted back…..
To me? Why me? Send it to Carnival.
I meant, to crewassistance…..I thought you would have some connection….. to at least know if the email reached there…..
No, I have no access to Carnival’s HR office … or Royal’s …
I work for carnival 13 years in the casino department .carnival can send us to different brands such us Princess. I got discharge from the vessel princess ship. I have been told that princess discharge me from the ship no carnival.
Anyway carnoval told i will be rehired that i have to apply again. But the question is Carnival had a retirent plan who rich 10 years. I have 13 years so can i take my retirement money ? After to be discharge from the ship 2 weeks ago.
Carnival took their “retirement plan” offline, last what I know is here:
http://www.inozemstvo-posao.com/smf_1-1-2_install/index.php?topic=7747.0
yes they took away but like me they cut it off on november 2013 and i rich 10 years before that so who ich the ten years until that time is allow to tsake the benefit.
but i want to know that they discharge for one princess ship and now i wan to know how i get the money?
I don’t know, i can only speculate. The Carnival is not transparent on that issue.
Did you ask any of your colleagues? I suspect you know many of them since you worked over 10 years in company.
is possible for me to return and join with carnival cruise line?
my last position is asst cook lido
i was leaving for vacations
What does this mean “i was leaving for vacations”. Everyone is leaving for vacation, sooner or later.
Did you not return when you were supposed to? Why?
Well, I had a problem last day on disimbark day…i fall a sleep and late to go to the crew office for my money. Because of that i got very offensive words from my maneger about my look and nationality and she told me that I am not going ever to come back on Princesss any more! My appraisals was very good, everything from my side was perfect, except last day.
When i come back home, few days after, i got DNR letter and I was really disappointed. Now my question is where I can apply now for a cruise job more, because Princess cruise doesn’t want to rehire me any more… I worked in the shop.
Go wherever they don’t know of you. And that’s Royal, Celebrity, MSC, Viking, NCL …
Avoid your previous hiring agency, and Carnival corporation, where they might have your history on file.
Hi all! What is the procedure if i cannot go back to ship from vacation because of health issue ( small surgery) i would need 1 or 2 more weeks Than its scheduled.
You have to contact and inform your company, HR department.
Hi ..what happen if I was resign from RCL and I was paying my own ticket and now I deside to come back again because I can solved my divorce problem ,and before I go that HR says thant I can come back as long not more than 1 year since I left.and also on my seaman book my status is vacation..please I need your answer for this matter..I really follow comments to other and really enjoy to read.thanks
So? What’s the problem? They told you you can come back, why don’t you go back?
Good day, I would like to know what is the worst mistake you can do on the ship never get hired again.
No matter what you get fired for, there is no coming back. Thus, all mistakes are the same.
I sign off July 11 2016 until now I don’t have my letter of employment in my email.my crew #222801 thanks in advance.
Thanks for what?
Hi i was working in cruise ship but i got no rehiring status so i just want to know that is there any possibilitoes to get a job in another cruise ship or shall i move on to hotels.please let me know .
Why would you think that if fired from one cruise line, you’re fired from all cruise lines? Where’s the logic in that? Live long and prosper.
My name Putu ruly #ID. 419 488 from Bali Indonesia. in mid 2012. I return of the ship Fantasy in emergency situations. circumstances at home made me have not been able to return to work at the carnival For longer having to organize family and dificult economic conditions..like jack of all I must return the tickets to the companies that I have not had in the added my documents all of which are expired and finally I had frustration and resignation because in my mind that I would not be able to work again at the carnival … to the point in life does not seem minus 3 years i’ve been at home only with farming at home. increasingly difficult situation made me want to come back together and working on my own carnival report to CTI agent bali since 5-6 months ago as I recall it 4-5 times For me to report back at the carnival can join but there has been no satisfactory response from the CTI .. carnival which he said there has been no vacancy. beg in the aid for the continuation of my this process… What i have to apply from scratch or how to .. thanks
What can I say. Looks like they don’t want you back.
Hi, I did a medical for a cruise ship I worked on in February 2016. Now I’m hired to go on a next ship. Can I use that medical form because my agent is saying that if I did a medical then its good for 2 years but the clinic that the agency uses to send us to get a medical want me to do everything over and that’s extra money. Will the new ship except my medical form from my previous job on the cruiseship? Every question is the same, the agency just want the same information on the form that the ship is giving me. And I also want to know if this clinic is trying to get more money out of me. Because the medical form is good for two years, why won’t she transfer all the information on the next form. And she’s giving more tests than the form require
Your medical is good for two years.
Hey 🙂
Great post! And some great no-nonsense replies!
Pretty please do the same for me:
Long story short, I got terminated from CCL (Ents.) four years ago, for minor fraternizing. Now I’m really wanting to go back to ships, and I’ve got to the final HR interview stage with RCI (tomorrow).
So far, I haven’t mentioned my sordid past 😉 as it hasn’t come up with my agent or in my first RCI interview. I was hoping it would stay that way.
But now I have to fill out an online HR form before the interview – and one of the questions asks if I’ve worked on ships before. Y? N? Bugger.
Not sure what to do… If I lie, I could be found out and fired further down the line… if I tell the truth, I guess I’d probably not get the job.
Up til now, I guess I figured that I’d not tell the truth, do such a kick-ass job and, if they ever did find out, they’d want to keep me anyway… On the other hand, if I tell the truth I could explain it away with being a silly kid four years ago, learned from it, not likely to make the same mistake etc, IF I get a chance to speak to HR at all.. but with the form in front of me, I’m feeling really torn about how to answer.
Just looking for some of your insight. What would you do? Hit me! 😉
Cheers.
The moment you mention your past employment onboard, you’re history. CCL has nothing to do with RCI, so stay calm, there is no way for them to find out about your past indiscretions ..
But when applying for visa, make sure you do the applying, not some agency, and be honest, you can not trick US embassy. And embassy doesn’t care that you’ve been fired one upon a time.
Thanks! Great advice – I hadn’t even thought about the visa! (I had thought maybe RCI could find out from past CCL colleagues – made lotsa good friends but also one or two enemies(!) and we know how ppl talk!) I went with your advice though. Thanks again.
So my application is progressing. Another question please, if you have a moment:
Do you have _any_ idea whether a background check may highlight my past employment and firing on ccl. They’re gonna use a third party company called HireRight.
Cheers.
you should be fine, there is no way of knowing unless you tell them ..
Ok cheers. Fingers crossed.
Hi again!
Currently completing all pre-employment info and a thought struck me. RCCL’s going to require a C1/D visa.
I have a current valid visa from working on CCL (but then got fired).
It was issued in 2012. It expires in 2022.
When the time comes, I could send them a copy of this, but won’t they question me when they see it was issued in 2012?? Won’t RCCL realise that I have in fact worked for a previous cruise line.
Or should I just apply for a new one? Won’t that then raise flags with the US embassy?
Argh. Thanks in advance! x
I don’t see a problem. It is highly unlikely that someone from RCCL would go on to investigate origin of your C1/D visa.
If you are hired, from that moment on, you are dealing with just one person from RCCL, and his job is to get you onboard to a place of a person who is leaving the ship.
As far as he is concerned, you are hired, and need to have visa before he sends a letter of employment. And a medical of course. His job is to fit you in, not to look for reasons to undermine effort of his colleagues who had hired you.
Ok, thanks, that makes sense.
Just a worry, because I’ve had an offer letter (different from an LOE), and have been placed in the talent pool, pending their background check, verification of credentials etc.
They’ve also told me that I can be reimbursed any visa costs – when I tell them I won’t need reimbursing, I’m worried that’s when they’ll start questioning.
Anyway, I guess I’ll just wait until everything else is done, make sure I have been officially ‘hired’, before shelling out for a medical and sending them a copy of my C1/D.
Thanks again!
Don’t worry. Visa is in category: You have it, or – you don’t have it. I have never heard of any crew member being investigated for why he/she has visa.
OK, thanks a lot. Fingers crossed that already having a visa doesn’t raise concerns.
(Do you know if it’s possible to apply for another C1/D visa, even if the one I have is 5 years in-date?)
Cheers!
Good morning!
I used to work on Carnival Cruise Lines as a Casino dealer. On my third contract I got fired because of the minor physical altercation with another crew member. I didn’t had any warnings before but according to your conclusions I understand that I almost don’t have any chances to be re-hired back on CCL. But I really want to get back on the ships, so I decided to try my chances with another cruise line.
Could you please suggest me:
1. Is it better to try via Employment Agency or directly with the company?
2. Is it really better NOT to tell them about working on Carnival at all?
Thank you in advance. I’m really rely on your help.
Casino dealers are always in high demand. If I were you, I would apply online, for another company, and told them I worked for Carnival, but left for another reason.
You have two contracts finished, so you would have to have two good evaluations to show for.
Apparently I don’t have my Evaluations with me. Does it mean that the new company will try to check these Evaluations with CCL and probably will discover how “bad person I am)”? Or is it just my pessimistic fantasy?
Hi! I was working in CCL as a commis in october 13 2016, i suffered homesickness and resigned october 29, 2016. I dont want to go back to ccl because of what i experienced in working time and work load. I work almost 12hrs a day and i cant take a break because of my work load. But i want to apply to other cruiseline. My concern is can i still appy to other cruiseline? Can i tell them what is the reason that i resigned? My biggest concern is may seamans book and passport has a stamp of the date that i was working in CCL and the date that ive been admitted to different countries when i was transitting. Thank you so much.
Apply to some other company, they will not look into your password or seaman’s book. No cruise line does. Don’t tell them anything about your previous experience onboard. The moment you tell them, you lose any chance to be hired.
But bear in mind, all cruise line companies are the same when it comes to the work load. That’s the industry standard. You are destined to be overworked and sleep deprived. 16 days of your previous cruise ship experience is a good indicator of what happens during every single day of your contract, no exceptions.
Hello. I have a question.I was fired from Carnival on my first contract for having relationship with a passanger, but then I applied to another company and had a second full contract there( even extended). But they weren`t in any way connected to Carnival. First I tried to not mention the Carnival experience on my resume but they responded that they are not interested in new hires right now so I told them that I actually had cruise experience but I had to expalin why I didn`t finish it and then why I got fired etc. But anyway they hired me. But now I want to apply with Costa or Princess and they are subsidiary of Carnival. You say that once fired from one of them, you get fired for all of them. I don`t know. You mean to tell me that every single cruise line owned by Carnival Corp is tracking a record on you? How can from Costa know about being fired from Carnival if I don`t mention it? And even if they do isn`t it too much to block your entire future carreer for being fired once in a life time? Desn`t the fact that if you have had other contracts after that compensate this mistake for future hire? It really does sound like absurd to me.
If a cruise line company fires you, and later by some chance rehires you, and you repeat your mistake (get involved with a passenger), but this time a passenger decide to sue company for whatever reason, say sexual harassment for example, a good lawyer would have a field day when discovering your past. Home run for a plaintiff. I am not saying that your chances to get hired by Costa are non existent, but they would be pretty foolish not to have some kind of “black sheep” database. Then, every department has some kind of oversight, for example, a person who is jumping from ship to ship and in Carnival’s case, from company to company under their wing, and he/she would remember you being fired, even after several years.
When it comes to fairness, ability to redeem or forgive, Carnival is big business, and fairness or forgiveness does not belong with Carnival in the same sentence. Carnival operates under xy flag in international waters, and legal norms to them do not apply, they can do whatever they want. For example, majority of their business and income generate US citizens, but they pay taxes to Panama, or Bahama …
Hi.. i just want to ask about the rehire status.. i was on maternity leave but i maxed out on the maternity leave days.. however before my maxed out maternity leave days was fully exhausted i got a chance to email them and informed that i have to renew my documentation.. its been 3 months of waiting but ccl hasnt given me any update if they will grant me rehire or not..do you think they will still rehire me..my husband is working on board also.. anything he can do to assist me..pls advise.. thanks..
You should be ok .. 3 months is not so bad. Keep mailing them .. if you are ready to get back. If I were you, I would stay a bit longer.
Ya, ya that`s why I was hired again from another cruise company even being a “black ship”. If they are short with people they have no choice. And indeed there are plenty of people with clean records and plenty of them are without any cruise experience. How can they be sure that they won`t make same mistake as I did, which is very likely because they are first timers and don`t pay much attention. Where is the risk if I have redeemed myself? I must be bloody stupid to make same mistake twice won`t I? What I mean is they risk to some sort but anyway they can risk with potential new hire as well. And most importantly in cruise business they is always high turnover of employes. And If subsidiary of Carnival corp would know then let them. I `ve decided to put everything on my CV anyway and give it a try instead of lying. Will see what happens!
My bet is on Carnival not letting you get the job. Unless Costa really really badly need crew of your experience.
They need, because I am in the photography department and this business is dying so they are really short with people.
Apparently I don’t have my Evaluations with me. Does it mean that the new company will try to check these Evaluations with CCL and probably will discover how “bad person I am)”?
I have a question. Can somebody explain this politics of discrimanation and why?
First they write about equal opportunites no matter of national origin and then they don`t want to hire emlployes from Eastern Europe.
XXX…Cruises is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin, disability or protected veteran status.
The recruiter advertising this job can accept applicants only from Western Europe and Central Europe for this position
It is a very very good question.
I think maybe they just want to look good by stating that. And if someone like you asks wtf? they can always say something like “our quota for this or that nationality in our company is full …”
But most of the time, they will not bother to answer at all.
Good day! I was working as bartender in Norwegian Sun and after three months of my first contract I had to resign due to a family emergency, ( for my mom’s health) that took around 8 months to overcome. During my first three months I got two Vacation Hero Awards and I performed correctly my duties. I want to continue my career on board and I want to apply for a rehire. Is it possible in my case? I was away from the company 9 months.
I don’t see why not.
Hi,Jessica!
I have the same problem.Did the company rehired you?
No answer yet
Hello admin would like to ask if you have the details of the most recent/current e-mail address that carnival has for new hire employees regarding PRE-EMPLOYMENT MEDICL RESULT (FOLLOW-UP) ? Though I already seen some e-mail address from above the post.. Thank you very much..
I have a question. I have worked on Carnival for 15 years and retired last year due to personal family issues. I applied for re-hire and was passed by the culinary department. I was awarded ‘Star Employee of the Month’ thrice during my contracts. I medical dept denied me for failing to mention my pre-medical conditions on ship. I had an accident 10 yrs back and have Alopecia now which I had not mentioned in my Medical report. They denied my medicals on basis of this.

Hello,
I need suggestion from your side. I have completed my first contract successfully with getting promoted to commi position. But when I went for an vacation there was some issues regarding my mom’s health that’s why I got delay on signing on the ship the day I sign on there was a email from my home that send me back regarding the same issue. Now I want to join my duty as I had gone to join it but bcoz of mom’s health I had to go back but I have sent medical documents to ShipboardHR@carnival.com but still not getting any response I think in this case I have shown my loyalty towards my work and the company but still being as a carnival family member why company is delaying to get me back on board during my difficult time because this is my only source of income.
Whatever it may be but I love CCL the way they treat us but currently I’m just waiting to get on board and join my duty 😊
One more question after 10 days it will be 6 months for me for not being actively working 2 and half months vacation plus after that I got on board and had to get soon due to Mom’s health.
Please guide me what should I do now
Swapnil, if you do not show up when you are scheduled to get back, the company is in trouble. Especially if they were not given sufficient time to find your replacement.
Carnival has no resources or staff to check on it’s crewmember family member’s health issues.
You should get in touch with company scheduler, and ask for your status.
Hello Im a tm of ccl I had 4mons vacation but I took it 5mons bec. Of family problem. Then Im ready to go back on ship I email the crew assistance and they said I have 30days not to get hire. I got my medical but Its late to know my agency that Im fit for seaduty. Im rehire now .Waiting for the approval from hr. I would like to ask how long to be approve and what else can I do ? Thankyou.
Right now, there is nothing you can do but wait. You have failed to return when scheduled, and went out of rotation. Someone else has filled your spot. When and if they feel like giving you a chance, you may get a chance. However, they are not obligated to ever hire you again.
Hello good day tou you. I as medically disembarked on 23rd feb 2018, due to losing weight rapidly and my diabetes slightly went out of control, i went to the doctor to have my medications change as reccommended by carnival, the doctor has passed me fit for duty in April 2018, i sent it off to the lawyer that carnival assigned me to, he replied saying carnival needs me to stabilize on my medications before i can return to duty, and they are asking for a final report, does my case means they will not offer me back employment? I am worried.
It all sounds normal. You should be alright.

Hi.i am santosh patil .I disembark on a medical ground from p&o cruise uk for my back pain and company terminate me last 7 month before, my condition is not serious ,, i took a ‘ fit for duty ‘cirtificate from company Appointed doctor .now i am trying to re-hire candidate again to p&o cruise .can they will take me back. I contact to CCL crew assistant team .but they ara saying to me ,i need to contact with p&o cruise .what should i do
hii my name is akshay patil i work in carnival cruise line i recently apply for home loan but my bank required my salary slips for that so how can i get those please help…….
What kind of work did you do? Were you getting payslips?
3 months ago I disembark due to family issue,
I didn’t pay my return ticket for my money is not enough and so they shouldered the airfare expenses. On my Payroll Report there is a tagged “Sign Off Reason – own will disembarked NTR”. Beacuse of that I haven’t able to show up to my agency yet for knowing it will reject me base on NTR. I just want to know is there a chance for me to return or not? or do I need to go to my agency to discuss to them the reason of my disembarkation.
You have 0 chances to get rehired. There is no reason to discuss it with anybody. It will not help.
See other agencies and cruise lines if you want to sail again so badly.
Thank you very much for your reply but i read some of your post regarding emergency leave
Im working for carnival and took emergency leave unfortunately they put NTR on my sign off reason.
NTR is the end of the line. Nobody recovers from that.
Hi Admin. Love your post and no nonsense replies. Seem you know CCL and cruise industry in and out
Need an insight on my situation please
I am on vacation status but before leaving I did not have a schedule to return and do not have it until now.
I wrote to scheduler last week but waiting a response. I am from India. Managed to check my CPS details and still showing sign off status is VAC. About to complete 2 months soon. Do you think this is normal and that I should start hitting the panic button. How would I know if the company is still interested in my services. Would I come to know if I am not needed any more?
Thanks
Take a good look at your last appraisal. If it is looking good, you are all right, and if there are many negative words, you should start looking for other companies.
Hi admin,

right now,thank you so much!!
Hi, sorry to hear that, but you will have to wait for an answer from crewassistance@carnival.com
Also, the company is more likely to answer to your manning agency first.
In any case, I have no official contact with Carnival nor I can speak on their behalf.
Hi Admin,
I was terminated from CCL as I did not have evidence to prove my innocence after some cash was misplaced. I took cash from an agent and then left it for my manager in his office drawer as he told. Two months later I was told by the accounts team that they are still looking for a cash receipt and now the manager was already on another ship. I explained the situation and the manager denied getting any cash from me. After some time I was told that there was no proof of my innocence I was terminated stating that I did not follow the cash handling protocol. I emailed the shoreside HR for further review but the decision remained the same.
Please advise if there is a way for me to get back on the ships. I have tried contacting multiple agencies but they say this termination is a negative on your profile. Does this mean I should stop hoping to get back on the ships.
Your experienced advise would be of great help and relief.
Thank You
You should forget CCL as indeed, you have not followed cash handling protocol. What you did was very naive. There is nothing you can do now but to put it behind you. Fortunately for you, there are many other cruise line companies to chose from as destination for your future career.
Thank You for your feedback. It really gives me a lot of relief but the only problem is that the agencies are putting it as a drawback for my future employment by any other cruise line. But I will make sure to not listen and try my best with whatever I can. Thank You again.
Do not mention your previous employment to other agencies. If you mention, you will have to explain, if you try to explain, you will be rejected.
i worked in Princess Cruises in 2016 finished in 2017. I have too much problem with my supervisor and he did all to fix me. When I was at home I received a email that i was do not rehired even when I desembark my papers said rehired. I work in other cruise line now, but I wish I can apply again. Are there any possibility to apply again? (I want to know if in almost 3 years the computer erase my papaers?)
Once they mark you “not to rehire”, it is for good. It does not expire. Sorry.
Hi i am saw i am working with carnival already second contracts. I am going back to my country with emergency. My position is galley steward. Now six months already in my country. I want to joy again to work with carnival. So possible or not?
You need to follow rehire procedure.
Good Day
I was the Carnival crew as Wiper in engine department from 12 April 2014. On 14 Oct 2018, I injured as cut of index figure of left hand because of the mistake of the fellow crew member and still not recovered. In April 2019, I have resigned from CCL and received some compensation.
In future, is there any more chance of rehired in CCL?
Is there any chance to get new job in another cruise company?
In what way, may I apply for new job in the other company?
Please list the name of company in where I can’t get new job?
Please provide more information in order to get new job even on another position.
Thanks for valuable respond!
Hello.
In the light of your injury, resignation, compensation, … CCL is not interested in hiring you again. That is my opinion. They can chose from hundreds of candidates from over 40 countries in the world, and that is what they are doing right now.
If your injury is not serious, and has not left you disabled, you can sure try to get employed by some other company, but as soon as they hear about your previous history with CCL, your chances for employment will drop to zero.
Thank you very much for your kindly response.
Hello how long going to take receive fit for duty from medical department thank you
it could be months, up to never, there are no rules
Hello, my name is Sumarwan FNU, ID 293926, I was medical from September to January, but after that my name and ID disappeared, I couldn’t contact all emails, I had to ask someone for help so I could work.
Hello Mr.Sumarwan
Your ID number can not help me access your unnamed cruise line database and see what is going on.
Often, when you go on medical leave, cruise line management see that as an opportunity not to call you back.
If you gave them hard time, came late for work, liked to drink and so on, they will likely never call you back.
This is not your fault, but in a way, it is. You asked for it. You have filled up a form requiring medical leave.
Medical leave is draining money and resources so it is like a virus to cruise line management. They like to treat it like that: isolate, starve, so it dies out.
However, if you were exemplary worker wit no stain on your career, they might call you back, when it suits them. Not when in suites you.
So there’s that.
