Not necessarily. Each job description specifies if cruise ship experience is mandatory. For most roles, it is not required. Q: Does the required experience have to be on a cruise ship? Q: How can I apply for an Engineer position without having experience as an engineer on a cruise ship? Please review the specific job description and minimum requirements for each role to understand if your experience fits. TOPIC 2 ELIGIBILITY & REQUIREMENTS
At the moment, we don’t have openings for fresh cadets without prior experience. We encourage you to gain initial experience first and then apply to CCL. Q: I am a cadet from the Merchant Marine of Surabaya, Indonesia. Can I join Carnival after I graduate, as a newcomer? You may look into Wiper openings — that would be the most suitable entry point. Q: I have experience as an Engine Cadet on a tanker ship. Can I join a cruise ship as a Junior Cadet, Wiper, or Oiler?
Q: I have previous experience as an Oiler on a bulk carrier. Can I join a cruise ship as a Wiper?
Yes, that’s possible.
