Hotel and Transportation Analyst is the Air/Sea Department’s liaison with hotels, transportation, and
service suppliers. The primary responsibilities are to initiate and participate in contract bids and
negotiations, set service standards and inspect supplier services to ensure said standards are met. I
implemented a new service standard by performing random audits for our transfer and hotel vendors by
ensuring that their staff met my expectations. This was to guarantee that the average Carnival guest did
receive quality service before and after their cruise.
As a Research and Special Projects Coordinator, the primary responsibility is to ensure that all guest
and/or travel agents receive efficient services for any research or current issues with their reservations.
Monitor all incoming calls and target guests with complaints to resolve their issue prior to cruise. I
assisted with the design of the Electronic Documents program and performed tests to be certain that each
guest was satisfied with the new documents procedures online. I co-created the TLC desk. This position
required that I worked with the Legal Department and Guest Relations executives and contact guests that
have had severe service complaints. I would develop a professional relationship and turn them in to a
repeat Carnival guest. I would stay in contact with them throughout the year.
As a Sales Captain, I assisted with the coaching of 25-30 agents within an outbound sales call center.
Cold calling and ongoing monitoring to ensure all calls were meeting expectations. As a member of the
team, I exceeded the monthly sales quota by 40%, while assisting my team with any questions or help
with their call campaigns.
