Welcome to Global Casino Operations

FRANCISCO, ECUADORIAN, HOST 2

Francisco started his career as a Casino Dealer February 2011 onboard the Grand Princess. His first impression of the ship was her size; together with the warmth of the people that welcomed him onboard he felt like it was his second home. Moving forward in his career, Francisco pursued new challenges as a Casino Host while on Carnival ships and continued his career as a Casino Host on Holland America ships.

“The opportunity of a career onboard, meeting great people from different cultures and visiting all continents, has helped me towards my future plans.  Combine this with stepping foot in the most incredible places on earth what else could I ask for!?  Three of my biggest dreams were accomplished while working for GCO: I surfed in Hawaii, I experienced snow for the first time while cruising in Antarctica and I saw the Northern Lights while in Alaska - and this is surely just the beginning.”

EDWIN, PHILIPPINES, CAGE MANAGER - STEVIE, UNITED KINGDOM, HOST 2

Edwin started working for Global Casino Operations in 2006 as a Cashier 2; he quickly advanced to Cashier 3 and has since gained a great deal of experience which has propelled him to current position of Cage manager.

Stevie, his fiance, joined us in 2013 as a Dealer 3. Her great personality combined with her work ethics has seen her through to the current position of a Host 2. Stevie met Edwin on her first contract with Carnival…they fell in love and were engaged to be married by her second contract. This past Christmas Edwin even got to visit England for the first time.

“We love to travel the world together; our favorite places include Key West, Bermuda and the Bahamas.

The best thing about working for Carnival Corporation is working with some of the best people you could ever meet.”

ROXANA, PERU, DEALER 3

Roxana joined Global Casino Operations in 2014 as a Slot Attendant.  Since then,  with great determination to learning, she has trained on  the table games in her own time, and  has now moved up to a position of Dealer 3.

“Working on the ships gives you the opportunity to grow professionally, with an added bonus of seeing the world. I have visited so many places that I never thought I would get to see, such as Alaska where I saw whales for the first time, or San Francisco where I saw the Golden Gate Bridge. You also experience diversity by  meeting and working with  people of different nationalities – it’s been interesting to learn about their cultures.

Being a part of the GCO Team has been a great experience so far and I am looking forward to the years to come.”

VADYM, UKRAINE, SUPERVISOR 3

Vadym joined GCO as a Dealer 3 in April 2014 and was committed to progressing his career since day 1.  He met all challenges coming his way, learning new games and developing sound skills to reach promotion to Dealer 4.  He continues to perform well, and accepted the opportunity for Supervisor training late 2016. He since then has moved up to the current role of a Supervisor 3.

Vadym truly enjoys his job and is thankful for the chance to travel all around the globe, basically for free.

“Having worked on land for a while, I can certainly say ‘It’s more fun onboard!’”.

BRANKICA (‘BRANKA’), SERBIA, SUPERVISOR 3

Branka joined GCO in 2008.  She started working in this industry at a very young age, and after completing 19 years on land, coming to ships was the next logical step for her to improve her knowledge and gain international experience.

“Working in ship based casinos is like working all over the world.  We meet and work with so many different nationalities and learn about their cultures.  It is not easy at first, but it is very rewarding on so many levels, where a land job could never be.  I love this job because of the many opportunities for personal growth.”

DANILO, PHILIPPINES, TECHNICIAN 2

Danilo joined Carnival Corporation several years ago, and tried many roles in different Departments before he finally settled with Global Casino Operations.  Upon joining the GCO team, he trained as a Technician, and has now achieved some of his life goals.   

 “It’s fun onboard… I get to see all the beautiful places, from sandy Caribbean beaches, through historic ports of call in Europe and the beauty of the Greek Isles, to the glaciers of Alaska.  All of this travel is for free – and they call it work!”

LORELIE, PHILIPPINES, DEALER 4

Lorelie started her career with GCO in 2011 and has traveled, for free, to many different places.  Her favorite memories are of Bora Bora, Polynesia, the most exquisite island she has ever seen and Hawaii where she had an unforgettable adventure.  She is a ‘sponge’ - soaking up knowledge gained from other team members onboard.  She lives our service values and puts them into practice every day – providing the guests with the highest level of customer service.

“Being a casino dealer is one of the amazing jobs on ships.  You meet and interact with new, exciting people from around the world and, at the same time, have fun with them on the tables helping to make their vacation a memorable experience.  GCO has so much to offer – the chance to work with them can change your life and gives you a new perspective that can lead you towards a better future.”

DARIO, ITALY, DEALER 3

Dario began his casino career as a Dealer in Great Britain but for as long as he can remember, he was craving to travel the world.  After considering all his options, he decided to apply for Global Casino Operations where he gets the chance to perform the job he likes and follow his dream at the same time. 

“On my first contract I got the opportunity to travel to Brazil, where I had a once in a lifetime experience at the Rio Carnival.  I’m looking forward to my next contract and to go to places I have never been before, such as Asia.  For anybody who would like to travel and meet people from all over the world, I would highly recommend applying for a role within GCO today!"

Neng joined GCO in 2016 as a Slot Attendant, with the mindset of building a career while having fun seeing the world.  She settled easily and quickly became a popular team member…..
