Welcome to Global Casino Operations

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 1b.

“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.”

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.”

VADYM, UKRAINE, SUPERVISOR 1

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.  In his current role as a Supervisor 1, he deals the games, and sometimes supervises the Pit, when the opportunity arises.

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.”

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!"

LORELIE, PHILIPPINES, DEALER 3

Lorelie started her career with GCO in 2011 and has travelled, 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.”

ALEXANDRU, ROMANIA, SUPERVISOR 3

At 18, Alex heard his friends talking about joining Global Casino Operations to work and travel the world at the same time.  This was music to Alex' ears and he started to train as a Dealer - the ultimate goal to work on cruise ships once he turned 21. 

He joined us a Dealer 3 in March 2010 and has never looked back.  Those around him recognize his previous experience, commitment to work and consistent delivery of great guest service, and are helping him to build his career.  He is moving up the ranks fast, currently learning the ropes of the Assistant Manager role.

“Being able to work and travel the world at the same time is a perfect fit for me.  Even when on vacation, I spend most of my time traveling with my fiancée, a beautiful Romanian lady that I met onboard the Island Princess where she was working a Dealer Cashier.”

ADELINA, ROMANIA, CASHIER 2

Adelina actually started working on cruise ships as an Assistant Waitress in November 2014.  During her second contract, Adelina started training in the casino department as a Cashier, further developing skills and experience she acquired before she went to sea.

Just in her 3rd contract, and now employed with Global Casino Operations, she is “feeling excited for the opportunity and career advancement this new role allows.”

Adelina enjoys 'ship life' because her passions are photography and traveling.  With so many places to visit each contract she has the opportunity to take lots and lots of pictures.
