It’s that time of year again – the Carnival UK Life on Board Survey IS NOW LIVE!
This is your chance to share your thoughts about working here, highlighting what you love and the areas where we can improve. When we come together and participate, we create a work environment where everyone thrives and exceeds. That’s why your input is so important.
Complete your ‘Life on Board’ Survey now!
The survey is live until Tuesday 6 May so please take the time to reflect on the last six months. Think about what’s gone well and where we can improve – not just in recent days or weeks, but over the last six months. Your perspective is essential to building a better future.
Your survey link is in your email and you’ll also find it on QR codes on board your ship’s notice boards.
A reminder of just how much has happened since the last survey
While September feels a long way away already real change takes time to implement. That said, we’ve made incredible strides in that time, here are some of the changes that your feedback has contributed to:
- Improvements to women’s experience on board
We’ve introduced the Women Seafarers Group, (WSG) – designed for women across all levels on board our ships to provide safe spaces for all women and non-binary individuals to belong. Ships have the freedom to choose events or activities to suit.
- Career passports launched for P&O Cruises
We’ve also now launched career passports in Housekeeping, Bars and Restaurants. This follows on from the successful launch of similar passports in Cunard to help build more robust skills in the organisation while setting clearer expectations for those who feel they are ready for promotion.
- We’re improving Crew Tours
We’ve made a commitment to offer more frequent, and more varied, crew tours through our SWC.
- We’ve successfully trialed Welfare Officers on board
We now have a plan to roll this out across all ships – providing increased focus on crew wellbeing and increasing the range of recreation activities available and developing a range of new crew communities and interest groups on board.
- We’ve launched new internet packages across the fleet
Following feedback from all ships, and a successful trial on Azura, Iona, and Queen Mary 2, we’ve rolled out new crew internet packages across the fleet, providing significant improvements to the value and functionality of the service.
- Supporting the smaller things that make a big difference
Your teams on board have also been working on feedback specific to your ship to make positive changes that are tailored to your feedback. We’ve seen lots of activity around your wellbeing and communications – speak to your leadership team onboard to learn more about the progress made here.
Why take part?
Every survey response counts. Each comment is reviewed and shared with our leadership team, helping us identify opportunities for improvement and action. Your feedback directly contributes to us making improvements as well as continuing the things you like. Together, we can keep making your on board experience better, ensuring this remains a workplace you’re proud to be part of.
You’ll see more information in the coming weeks so keep an eye out for the link to our Life On Board Survey and have your say!

Carnival UK is the best ship in the world, cant be able with other.
I am very happy to work in Cunard company. Thankyou very much for opportunity .
Team is welcoming ,supportive and accommodative expecially for the first time who had no experience regarding eorking on board .
Thank you
Always good.and nice communication and respect its other…
Its a very nice place to work, home away from home.
I’m happy to be back onboard in P&O Cruises this my mother company than the Cunard and proud of I’m in P & O ever since I started October 2009 I’m feeling no pressure in the job and I feel happy this company
Wifi it’s now affordable
Big help for the crew
I advice if the company can make a short contract like 6 months on board
The internet package it’s better than before, It’s good for the crew. We can open all aps and also we can communicate to our family at home every day, I hope the internet package keep like this until long run.
Many thanks to cunard for this survey… We would be hapoy for the next improvement of promotion in the restaurant because a lot of us is waiting for application but all of the sudden junior waiter is not applicable. They should give chance to those who are dinning steward to apply as a waiter. And please be advice all the manager to be nice with there co- worker.we are also stress so be nice with us. And we should be happy also if the food in the crewmess is delecious because some of us work late and the food is look like overcook its not fresh anymore we need to take good care of our health as well.. Thank you and have a wonderfull day to all of you.
I like all about P&O specially in Iona from food, cabin, medicine, training, day party, partner of workplace and Line Manager also take care of us
I am very happy to be part of Carnival uk ,Carnival uk is one of best company in the world
But one suggestion is make short contracts like 6-8 months, thank you Carnival uk
From my side is everything’s good but the thing is about the contract is to long mybe the our company can make the contract like a short contract or 6 month 2 month vacations for sure everyone will gonna be more happy
I things That all about my self thanks you very much
I am very pleased to receive a feedback from carnival team support, and happy to be part of Queen Elizabeth team member.
New internet is excellent, cheap and fast it helps us communicate at home easily. It helps us access we need fast.
The new internet is cheaper comparing to the previous. It gives us access to the app we want and need. It is now easier to communicate to family at home.
The internet package is awesome it’s good deal to the crew. And hope it will be continued in a long run. Good job
so far I’m here I feel very appreciative because I have been given the opportunity to apply my previous work experience, but on the other hand I can’t motivate myself because there is no rotation of opportunities to work in the main dine in, besides that I am also a person who thinks easily if I am only given the same job for months, I want to challenge myself and my knowledge in other restaurants hoping that all of that will be my provision in the future. if through this survey you can see maybe I will be very happy if I am rotated to the main dine in✨
New internet package is great for us , and cheaper , we can good access all social media , i hope we can always using this internet package. Amazing!
The internet package it’s better than before, It’s good for the crew. We can open all aps and also we can communicate to our family at home every day, I hope the internet package keep like this until long run.
I like the internet package now, better than before. But I don’t like the food in the crewmess most especially at night the left over from the restaurant they serve to us. And as a vegetarian I’m so sad coz it’s always pork.
For me the package of internet is now good deal. And for the foods in the crew mess if possibly can change to different menu or dish so that we can choose what we like to get especially the taste of foods..
P & O Cruise has give me work experienced I will never forget and has brought me to places that I will never forget I’ve been there. Thank u
I am very proud to be part of Carnival UK. Where they have a big ship with all the grandeur and luxury provided. Providing the best service to guests is something that is important to Carnival UK. Very proud to be part of the Carnival UK family
PLS make our contract shortly like 6 months i believe that having short contract can give a person to work very well and less stressed to everybody or better to conduct a survey for those who wants to have short/long contract I’ll hope this comment will attract an attention thank you.
overall live on board in P&O are very nice,but 9 month contrac is to long for me,if can get 6 month contract will be very happy
I am happy to working with p&o cruise.. it’s almost 5 yrs for me… Enjoyed with the work schedule and also happy to be a part of p&o cruises.
happy to be apart of tnis company
New internet is excellent, cheap and fast it helps us communicate at home easily. It helps us access we need fast.

It’s been 3.5 years completed working with P&O cruise Its been very good experience, working Atmosphere is also very great apart from that the line manager and ADBM are very supportive they are giving opportunity to develop ourself they are also recognising and appreciating our work.
Proud to work with P&O cruises .
Only suggestion I would like to give the 9months contract is too long….if it could be 7 months contracts to everyone it will be great so everyone will be treated equally.
Happy to be here
I have nothing to say but I am very proud to be a part of this company. Thank you soo much Carnival UK for taking care of me in all this years and I hope you I’ll take care in future as well.
The internet upgrade is probably the best thing I’ve seen so far.
I wish crew hub got a new pool table with a self balancing mechanism. Obviously Arcadias crew is lucky to have a pool table to begin with, but the sea is rarely calm enough for us to play normally. Also, the cues are constantly broken, because some players probably use them too hard. We could bang up a warning sign about this
Another warning sign idea would concern the priciple that all crew must have their time to rest.
Not everybody respects the fact that there should be peace and quiet around everybody’s cabins
I am constantly being woken up by someones deck phone, or just some loud talking around the hallway in the morning
P&O its very nice company, i’m enjoy here. All the people very friendly. But Actually we need 6 months on board, if we have 9 months its not really good for our mental health. Mental health its very important to increase our spirit at work. If the company can provide or follow up about the contract maybe all the people will be happy. And more enjoy also give the best perfomance. Anyway thank you for having me.
Internet package was very good,and working fast
I think everything is great, but for a 9/10 month work contract here, it’s too long in my opinion. I think it would be better if the work contract was 6/7 months and 2 months of vacation, that would be better.
Internet was so great and nice only 7..thank.you carnival.uk…p&o is the best cruise ship specially arvia….

This is my first contract in carnival uk. And i really proud to be here .thanks you p&o and i am from indonesia. i really like my job. but one thing that needs to be changed is the food menu for indonesia is very little and we like spicy, please provide chili/sambal in the crew mess everyday. and we can enjoy food like at home and
Please give me chance to do 6 months or 7 months contract because 9 months is too long thanks you🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Being Part Of this Amazing Company is A gratitude and Being Proud of one even Others Criticize or something but We all Do have To change and Upgrade sometimes like our self everyday We are not perfect but All Crew Need a Break Sometimes at work Cuz we always face Stress and danger onboard Everyday all i can say Is Workers also need Breaktime Like halfday In Sunday Or like Giving us a Opportunity to go out ashore sometimes and release our stress and problem of missing our family far away! And to our Officer and superiors we need leader to lead us to our growth and progress not to shout on us and discriminate us infront of our colleague we need a Leader to encourage us to motivate to become a leader with a Heart and care Thats all Thank you !!
New internet package was good,
during my working here everything is great, but for 9/10 months working is too long in my opinion. if 6/7 months working and 2 months vacations is better
During my work here, everything went smoothly, it’s just that working in housekeeping at night is too hard because food is rarely served, fresh fruit is important for health.
Wifi is better now , thank you
Internet package was very good.
This is my fist contract but I am really enjoy, just like yesterday I join as new joiner , everyone always support me . And now my first contract will be finis on july, thank you P&O for chosing me

Thank you Carnival UK for give us a wonderful job.But we hope there’s an improvement of food in the crewmess during after dinner operation in britannia and we wish also for our contract to become 6months contract and 2moths vacation and i hope you understand.
Thank you Carnival UK for taking care of me for the last 8 months of my contract I don’t have anything to say just thank you and see you again next contract God bless our Company ♥️
working at carnival uk is very enjoyable especially now the internet package is much better than before, the crew facilities are very adequate, now I feel more like at home, only the contract for the hoas position is too long, I don’t understand why the company gives a contract that long, I hope the company will fix this as soon as possible and give a work contract like 6-7 months to overcome the level of employee stress, that’s all I can say, basically working here is very interesting, and a very good company, thank you very much to the company for listening to us, I hope this can be fixed soon and finally I love Arvia
Working in P&O ships is a great oportunity to live with.I thank a lots for sustaining my finanncial needs and taking the full support in all aspects of my journey.May God be blessed more our company.Mabuhay!!
