AWARDS, ACHIEVEMENTS, ACCOLADES

cruise job career

What inspired me to join Carnival is the passion I have for cooking and my love for food. Which really become self of my life in the kitchen and the kitchen has become my first home. I work in the galley preparing the food, fish, pasta, some Filipino dishes, Indonesian dishes and Italian dishes as well. I do the main entrees and work in the crew food line. Working on an International cruise ship I learned how to cook different cuisine which I really love and really enjoy the most.

RIJAD FROM BOSNIA

I joined Carnival on February 5th, 2023, and it’s been a Great experience. First time working on cruise, adjusting was easy for me as I always loved traveling. It feels like home having a brother working for the same company for the past 7 years so that was a big part that attracted me, and the money is good. The beauty of working with family whilst traveling the world together is thrilling and can’t think of any another career opportunity that gives such a good balance.

ISHRON FROM ST. VINCENT & THE GRENADINES

I love traveling and as my boss says, ‘you get paid to travel!’ So that is nice, this is my opportunity, so I take it! As a galley attendant you work in the galley, so we do a lot of cleaning, plates, cups everything! In the galley we work as a team to get everything done easily. We have fun - we sing, dance a bit. It helps us get work done fast and the time go quickly.

MARIA THERSA FROM INDONESIA

It was in 2004 and I was reading a newspaper and I saw that Carnival was hiring so I applied. I believe that if you love what you are doing and you are happy with it - success will follow! Onboard I am responsible for the overall cleanliness of the cabin and of course with the proper PPE (personal protective equipment) and procedure. My advice to anyone thinking about applying to Carnival is just show your sincerity and love to your chosen career and success will follow.

ANTONIO FROM ITALY

What inspired me to join Carnival? Well it’s a cruise ship so it’s where I can increase my knowledge in electrical, tech and automation. I was thinking it was a good opportunity to join a cruise ship. A lot of my friends were talking really highly about the Carnival Family. If you have a passion of electrical work, Carnival is going to give you really good tools to increase your knowledge, to gain a lot of experience in automation, electrical and electronic stuff.

Tom Cruise Officially Became A Movie Star 40 Years Ago Today With 1 Iconic Scene & A $63M Hit

10 things that make no sense about obi-wan kenobi, lilo & stitch live-action remake star hopes audiences will give new disney movie a chance.

One scene in the 1983 Tom Cruise movie Risky Business made his co-star, Joe Pantoliano, decide to get a nose job, after seeing an image of himself next to the lead actor. The '80s teen comedy follows Joel Goodsen (Cruise) as he hires a sex worker, Lana (Rebecca De Mornay), after being left home alone for a few days. However, his mother's Steuben glass egg falls into the hands of Lana's boss, Guido (Pantoliano), with Joel forced to find a way to get the egg back, and pay for damages when his father's car crashes.

Speaking with Empire Magazine about the film, Pantoliano revealed how a particular image of him and Cruise from Risky Business made him decide to get a nose job. The actor explained how much bigger his nose was contrasted with his co-star's, making him fear he'd be typecast as a villain because of the way it looked. He also joked that, now that he's gotten it done, he instead portrays " bad guys with smaller noses ." Check out what Pantoliano had to say about his decision below:

You see those two noses? When I saw this movie I was like, I gotta get a nose job, because I'm just going to play bad guys, and I want to be a leading man. Tom Cruise has got a very distinguished nose, but my nose dwarfed his, so I literally had a nose job. And now I just play bad guys with smaller noses! (Laughs) But I just remember Paul Brickman [director] wanted all of the characters, including Guido, to be likeable. Tom was, what, gosh, was he like 21? Or 22? I was the old man on the job!

Tom Cruise appeared in his breakout role exactly 40 years ago today - his career has taken a big turn since then, spanning from comedy to action.

What Pantoliano's Nose Job Meant For His Career After Risky Business

He still portrayed his fair share of bad guys.

Following his role in Risky Business , Pantoliano began to take on supporting roles in a variety of films. While he was still a villain sometimes, like Francis Fratelli in The Goonies , he also played a variety of archetypes in films like Empire of the Sun , Memento , and The Fugitive . In 2001, he joined the cast of The Sopranos season 3 as Ralph Cifaretto, a capo who becomes one of Tony's major enemies as the series progresses. This variety of roles shows that, while he's still played the bad guy sometimes, it's not all he's done since his nose job.

Some of his most recognizable work also includes Cypher in The Matrix , as well as Captain Conrad Howard in the Bad Boys movies . His more recent work includes a cameo as himself in the Chucky TV series, as well as a major role in the 2021 horror thriller Hide and Seek . While his work has included plenty of villain roles since Risky Business , it's also clear he's expanded to plenty of other roles, despite his initial worries about being typecast. How much his nose job had to do with his career progression, though, is unclear.

What We Think Of Pantoliano's Nose Job Story

The procedure was his decision to make.

While there's no way of knowing how much Pantoliano's nose job impacted his career after Risky Business , it seems like his villain roles afterward were because of how well he's able to portray antagonists. However, his acting abilities were likely the deciding factor for his stints in movies like Bad Boys , showing the versatility of the kinds of characters he could play. Even if his nose job didn't play a major role, it's clear his confidence was boosted by the decision he made.

Pantoliano's recent credit is a short appearance in 2024's Bad Boys: Ride or Die , reprising his role as Captain Howard.
