Youth Staff / Youth Programs – Q&A
« on: 16/July/2010 »
Youth Programs – Q&A
• Why can’t my child who is 5/6 months away from the next group move up as he/she is in a higher grade at school or has siblings etc. Camp Carnival is an age based activity program?
o We group children according to their birth date not their grade. As well, when we are doing the activities we mold the activity to the age of the children. For example, if a 5 year old wants to continue with an activity we highly encourage it, as well if a 2 year old wants to end the activity and start to play that is alright as well.
• Why can't I stay with my child during activities?
o The presence of the parents can cause separation anxiety to the children whose parents are not present, and disrupt the environment. Parents are not allowed to be in Camp Carnival while age group activities are offered; however during the cruise we have a lot of family designated activities in which you are more than welcome during those times.
• Why can't my under 2 participate in the program?
o Camp is an age based activity program tailored to the age and development of the children. During age group activity times, we are unable to offer one-on-one attention for Under 2 years old; however during the Family Play Time, you are encouraged to use all the facilities that Camp Carnival has to offer.
• Why can't my kids change age groups?
o We prefer children to stay in their age appropriate activities that way the staff and other children get to fully know your child.
• Why we do not have a waiver form for the parents to sign if they want their child in the next age group?
o Carnival cannot make the individual exceptions. It would disrupt the program and cause conflict.
• Why must they have their sail and sign for dropping off and picking up their child?
o This is your proof of ID. For security and safety reasons, we like to ensure that the adult signing in/out knows the child.
• Why are children not allowed to move up unless they turn 2 that cruise /option of signing a waiver for this?
o Camp is age based activity program and the activities are tailored to age and development of the children. During age group activity times, we are unable to offer one-on-one attention for under 2 years old; however during the Family Play Time, you are encouraged to use all the facilities that Camp Carnival has to offer.
• Why can't a child who is a year away from a next age group move up even if they have a sibling in that age group?
o Camp Carnival is age based activity program. We group children according to their birth date not their grade. As well, when we are doing the activities we mold the activity to the age of the children. For example, if an 8 year old wants to continue with an activity we highly encourage it, as well if a 5 year old wants to end the activity and start to play that is alright as well. Also during the cruise, siblings have a chance to hang out with each other, for example: at Kid's dinner, after 10pm, port day morning’s etc.
• What are the ratios for kids?
o Camp Carnival has an appropriate number of qualified staff on hand. The actual number of staff per age group depends on the size of the ship, the time of year, and the length of the voyage. As well, the Assistant Youth Director & Youth Director is always available to help out when needed.
• Can parents of children who are unruly and misbehave stay in the playroom with them once we say that they are no longer allowed to participate in camp due to those reasons?
o Parents are not allowed to be in Camp while age group activities are offered; however during the cruise we have a lot of family designated activities in which you are more than welcome during those times. However you are more than welcome to join in the Family Activities.
• Why can't my 9-11 year old child that has no signing in/out privileges be able to participate for the scavenger hunts but can go to the bathroom unsupervised by a staff member?
o The scavenger hunts are a 'signed out' activity in which your child will be walking around the ship with other children in order to complete a scavenger hunt. You are more than welcome anytime during the cruise to change the signing in/out procedure for your child to allow your child to participate in scavenger hunts. In regards to your child able to sign him/herself to use the bathroom we allow this due to your child's health. As well, when possible, a Youth Staff member will escort your child to the bathroom.
• Why is it only 2 additional adults that can pick up?
o We limit the number of adults to pick up the children, as this allows the staff to better know the individuals who are picking up their children. In return, it will be less confusing for you as a parent, as you will know who picked up your child since only 2 other adults are allowed to pick up your child.
• Why can’t we have in cabin baby-sitting?
o For the safety of the children and staff, we offer all babysitting in Camp an environment created with safety and comfort of the children in mind. As well, Camp is fully equipped to offer a fun filled babysitting experience.
• Why do we separate by age groups and not by grades?
o Camp Carnival is an age based activity program. Since the activities are short in duration, we need to ensure that all participants can fully engage. We group children according to their birth date not their grade. As well, when we are doing the activities we mold the activity to the age of the children. For example, if a 5 year old wants to continue with an activity we highly encourage it, as well if a 2 year old wants to end the activity and start to play that is alright as well.

PROCEDURE FOR: CHANGE OF DEPARTMENT – HOTEL OPERATIONS
Approved: Roberta Jacoby, Sr. VP Hotel Operations REV:00
DATE: 3/22/10
Policy: The Company has established a fair & equitable process to change departments for suitable candidates, as well as matching openings within the employment pool.
Objective: To fully utilize Carnival’s manning resources by granting those departmental transfers that are in the best interest of the company, while also offering eligible team members career advancement.
Procedure:
1.
If a team member requests to change a department, he/she should submit the following to his/her department head:
•
A ‘Request for Change of Department’ Form.
•
A resume, reference letter and other applicable certificates along with a cover letter. All resumes, letters and forms are to be written in English.
2.
The current department head should review the form and the applicant’s personnel file to determine the applicant’s suitability. The current department head should confirm:
•
Valid reason for the change of department request
•
Applicant must have completed first contract
•
Status of any previous department change requests
•
The applicant is in good standing with the current department
•
That applicant’s transfer will positively impact the new department
If determined that the team member cannot be considered, a notation should be made on the
request for ‘Change of Department Form’ and a copy placed in the team member’s file. The team member should be advised verbally and a brief reason written on the form as to why they are not eligible to continue the process.
If determined to be suitable, the department head will sign approval of the request and forward it to the appropriate onboard department head to schedule an interview on a timely basis.
3.
The prospective new department head should interview the applicant to ensure he/she meets the necessary criteria (see job descriptions & guidelines in Hotel Ops Intranet site).
All prospective candidates should be able to demonstrate:
•
Valid reason for the change of department request
•
Ability to show keen knowledge of the requested position; documented evidence of past experience is advantageous (information shall be verified against original application)
•
That applicant’s transfer will positively impact and add value to the new department
•
Applicant has demonstrated an ability to learn new skills quickly
If the application is denied, the team member should be advised by the prospective new department head that he/she did not meet the required standards (i.e. insufficient experience, lack of guest service ability, etc) & a copy of the ‘Change of Department Form’ form should be placed in the team member’s file.
If the applicant can be considered for the department change, the application will be sent to the Hotel Director for approval.
4.
Hotel Director will review the documentation & interview the team member (if necessary) to ascertain if the departmental transfer would benefit and be in the best interest of the company.
If denied by the Hotel Director, the ‘Change of Department Form’ should be sent to the current department head. The team member should be informed accordingly and a copy of the form placed in the team member’s file.
If approved, the form will be sent to the T&D Manager who will determine test requirements.
5.
The T&D Manager will determine if/what tests are required for the desired positions (E.g. Marlins English Test, Wonderlic, etc.) and schedule the tests, as required.
If the applicant does not have a Marlins certificate on record or requires a higher score, the T&D Manager will schedule the Marlins English test at a convenient time for the applicant. T&D Manager will inform the team member of their score, print the Marlins certificate, attach it to the application and send an e-mail detailing the score to the department heads involved.
If the team member does not attain the required scores, the ‘Change of Department Form’ will be sent to prospective department head and a copy will be placed in the team member’s file.
When the required test scores have been achieved, the form should be entered into the ‘Request for Department Change Tracking Sheet’ and sent ashore to the Director, Training and Hotel HR Services.
A copy of the form should be given to team member plus a copy placed in team member’s file.
6.
The Director, Training and Hotel HR Services will liaise with the applicant’s current and prospective shore side department heads to assist and facilitate in the process. Also responsible to follow up with position availability.
The current shore side department head will review the application and determine if the team member can be released from current position. If approved, the Director, Training and Hotel HR Services will forward the form on to the new shore side department head.
The new shore side department head will review application on a timely basis and advise of their approval and of the position availability.
7.
If the application is approved by both shore side departments, the successful applicant will be notified by email/letter and given an approximate start date. It is understood that team member will be required to finish the current contract and may be required to come back in the present position until the new department start date. Crew Personnel System will be updated.
If there are no positions open at the time of approval, the successful applicant will be put into a pool awaiting an open position and will be informed of their pending status by the T&D Manager. The team member will remain in their current position until such time as there is an opening in the new department.
8.
Should an application be denied the team member may reapply after 6 months.

Život na Moru ~ Life@Sea / Close relatives obtaining employment
« on: 18/June/2010 »
You will recall that until about a couple of years ago , we had a policy which precluded close relatives from obtaining employment . The policy was changed to allow close relatives being hired , if and only if they met the job requirements and were found suitable during the interview process.
Ever since the official change in this policy , the shipboard personnel and our Operational offices have been flooded with applications from crew members recommending their close family members, relatives and friends irregardless of their experience and qualifications.
One could perhaps imagine the task of administering these massive piles of applications , to file them in some sensible order of retrieval , arrange for their interviews, respond to their status query , respond to individual crew member as to why their recommended candidate was not selected and finally respond to those selected in their query as to when they are joining . We do not have near enough resources nor a system set up to undertake this huge task. Imagine even if only 25% of our crew recommend only one relative , friend or an acquaintance , we are talking about at least 2500 applications .
In addition , some crew members were abusing the system by creating their own little sub – agency to supplement their income.
Furthermore recently Carnival has revised its policy that no individual shall be given a job offer unless they are personally interviewed by a Carnival Management member . This is to ensure that we maintain the high standard of efficiency of our Team Members on board , ensure that all meet the minimum requirement of English and have the necessary friendly and pleasant demeanor that our guests have expected during their cruise experience .
For these reasons , we are not able to accept applications nor entertain any query on the status of the existing applications . All applications so far received shall be forwarded to the recruiting agent in the respective country , who shall arrange for their interview (whenever scheduled ) with a Carnival Management member. All applications in future should be directly applied with our recruiting agents .
The attached policy basically encompasses what we have explained herein. Also attached is a list of our current recruiting agents .
We request that you ensure that this change in policy is properly and tactfully explained to all Hotel Operations employees as soon as possible . Perhaps the best venue we suggest is during their monthly meetings.
We thank you for your help in personally taking care of this important task.

Financije / Crew Wire Transfer
« on: 18/June/2010 »We are very pleased to announce that we are ready to deploy shortly the Crew Wire Transfer project to the rest of the fleet. Currently implemented only on Paradise, Destiny, and Fascination (in progress).
As you know, the Wire Transfer project allows crew members to wire funds to the crewmember’s bank of their choice anywhere in the world from the convenience of the ship. After the crewmember provides us with their banking information by filling a WIRE TRANSFER APPLICATION in its entirety, and it is verified, the anticipated flow would start with the crewmember giving the paymaster US dollars and the foreign currency or dollars he/she would like to purchase by way of filling out a WIRE ORDER form. Once an account has been established, the information will remain in the database and thus the Wire Transfer Application form will not need to be submitted each time the crew member desires to wire money. Banking information can be updated by simply filing out a new Wire Transfer Application form in replacement of the old one.
On a weekly basis, crew members participating will fill a Wire Order Form and bring it to the Paymaster who in turn would send the money, currency desired, and banking information to our foreign exchange service provider which, in turn, would send a wire almost immediately to the crewmember's bank account. The conversion rates compare very favorably to what we pay on our corporate business, and there would also be a fee to the crewmember of $5 to cover wiring costs. Kindly note that the crewmember's bank receiving the money may impose their own fee but we have no control over this.
Enclosed herewith is a copy of the brochure explaining the program to be printed and distributed by Paymasters to the crew together with the next payroll. This will allow the crew members to start verifying their banking information and filling out the Wire Transfer Application form in preparation to when the program is installed onboard by our IS Department.
Our Corporate Trainers have kindly agreed to post a laminated copy of the brochure in their Benefit board, likewise once IS confirms that the program has been installed, Corporate Trainers have agreed that they will start including it in their orientation sessions to the crew. Wire Transfer Application forms and Wire Order forms should be available in an area easily accessible to the Crew only (not in areas where guest may traffic), in order for crew to fill it at their leisure and bring it already filled out to the Paymasters during crew office hours. We kindly ask Chief Accountants to coordinate with the Hotel Directors as to the best possible place.
Crew members should be instructed to establish an account by filling out the Wire Transfer Application form at least one week prior to wire money. This will allow the Paymaster to input and verified the information during the non-crew hours and forward the original forms to Headquarters for final verification.
The program has a minimum and maximum amount limitation for wiring of US$250.00 and US$5,000.00 respectively per crew member per transmission. Paymasters can collect money any time during crew office hours (Except Payroll/Gratuities pay day) and should transmit while on home ports only due to connectivity issues with the satellite. For vessels doing the 3 and 4 day run, they should transmit only on Monday (Fantasy on Sunday). For 5/5/4 run transmissions should only be done Monday and Saturdays. vessels doing anything other than 3/4, 5/5/4, and 7 days run should contact Andrew Kondrat and/or myself to coordinate a transmission schedule.
Paymasters are also instructed to read the enclosed manual in order to understand how the program works and to clarify any questions and/or concerns they may have. The manual provides clear indications regarding business rules and it has a whole section dedicated to useful tips. It also contains clear step by step information on how to establish accounts in the FXOnline database and a description of how to perform the accounting functions of the program. In addition to the above, following this email, we will be sending to Paymasters only a system’s training manual.
Once the program has been installed onboard Paymasters are hereby requested to contact Andrew Kondrat and myself to conduct a test transmission and make sure we are ready to go live. We also herewith request that after the test transmission has been successfully completed, Chief Accountants coordinate with Hotel Director’s in order to notify the live date perhaps during the Hotel Director’s meeting with all the Department Heads. Also we suggest that a notice with the live date should be posted in some of the crew bulletin boards.
As usual, should you have any questions regarding this program please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you and regards to all,

Zabava / Dear Alcohol
« on: 15/June/2010 »
Dear Alcohol
First & foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge fan of yours. As my friend, you always seem to be there when needed. The perfect post-work cocktail, a beer at the game, and you're even around in the holidays, hidden inside chocolates as you warm us when we're stuck in the midst of endless family gatherings. However, lately I've been wondering about your intentions. While I want to believe that you have my best interests at heart, I feel that your influence has led to some unwise
consequences:
1. Phone calls: While I agree with you that communication is important, I question the suggestion that any conversation of substance or necessity takes place after 2 a.m. Why would you make me call those ex-boyfriends when I know for a fact they do not want to hear from me during the day, let alone all hours of the night?
2. Eating: Now, you know I love a good meal, but why do you suggest that I eat a kebab, a butter chicken curry along with a sausage with cheese, onion and mustard (washed down with WINE & topped off with a Kit Kat after a few sweet chili and sour cream red rock chips)? I'm an eclectic eater, but I think you went too far this time.
3. Clumsiness: Unless you're subtly trying to tell me that I need to do more yoga to improve my balance, I see NO need to hammer the issue home by causing me to fall down. It's completely unnecessary, and the black & blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously the next day are beyond me.
Similarly, it should never take me more than 45 seconds to get the front door key into the lock.
4. Furthermore: The hangovers have GOT to stop. This is getting ridiculous. I know a little penance for our previous evening's debauchery may be in order, but the 3pm hangover immobility is completely unacceptable.
My entire day is shot. I ask that, if the proper precautions are taken (water, vitamin B, bread products, aspirin) prior to going to sleep/passing out face down on the kitchen floor with a bag of popcorn, the hangover should be minimal & in no way interfere with my daily activities.
Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years now & would like to ensure that we remain on good terms. You've been the invoker of great stories, the provocation for much laughter, and the needed companion when I just don't know what to do with the extra money in my pockets.
In order to continue this friendship, I ask that you carefully review my grievances above & address them immediately. I will look for an answer no later than Thursday 6pm (pre-happy hour) on your possible solutions & hopefully we can continue this fruitful partnership.
Thank you,
Your biggest fan
P.S.
THINGS THAT ARE DOWNRIGHT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:
1. Thanks, but I don't want to have s*ex.
2. Nope, no more beer for me.
3. Sorry, but you're not really my type.
4. Good evening, officer. Isn't it lovely out tonight?
5. Oh, I couldn't. No one wants to hear me sing.
