Working at Norwegian Cruise Line in Riverview, FL: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Riverview, FL Area

"I worked for NCL for several years. Thoroughly enjoyed my job. However, I quickly discovered how “clicky” the Entertainment Division was in Tampa. Run by the VP of Entertainment, it was amazing to me how anything got accomplished. I quickly noticed his constant flitting around the office, his desk was always spotless (no contracts, invoices, plans, paperwork of any kind), he would sit in on production meetings and such and rarely participate. But would ALWAYS be on his cell phone. So, after meetings I would hop on FB just to see, and sure enough he spends production meetings posting on FB. He never seemed busy, but often peoples invoices would be paid weeks late due to him neglecting to “approve them”. If you are gay, your his best friend and part of the “click”. If you are straight, he won’t give you much attention. He was NEVER concerned about budgets or if a project was going over. Myself and a few others would often ask others working there, “what exactly does Robert do?”. The answer was always the same, “I’m not really sure”.. I’m sure he is making close to 6 figures and is hardly in the office. He is always on ships visiting to watch shows. I heard stories of how NCL received complaints about his lack of work in the past and when it got back to him, how he brought everyone into the board room to yell at them. Stating, “if you don’t like the way I do things, leave”. As far as many are concerned, Robert is a complete waste of NCL’s money! Then theres the Production Manager, Chris. This is a department that truly needs at least 2 people running it, if not more. Chris is SO over-worked, SO backed up with things, so backed up with approving invoices people aren’t paid in a timely fashion. Personally, I’d eliminate Roberts position and add at least 1, if not 2 more Production Managers."
