Interview
I interviewed at the Springfield Call Center. It's a stress interview. I entered into their massive hallway and introduced myself to security. They recorded the precise time I arrived in their records. One of the younger members of the sales team came to get me 15 minutes late so I waited for half and hour and was really nervous when I was ushered in. I had two back to back interviews, one for a cruise representative position and the other for customer service. I totally bombed the cruise representative interview because the first thing they did was have me take a computer test. They tell you to look up a cruise for a certain date and time on their website. Look at their website before you go to the interview and learn how to navigate it! Also it's a trick question because if you do the search right you get multiple answers. I have horrible interview anxiety and can't think during interviews so when they told me to do four things at once I freaked out and bombed the test (I don't think the test is THAT much of a problem for normal people). Then they asked me standard sales questions and had me do a mock sales phone call. (They gave me a sheet of paper with two cruises and their info on it and then one of them pretended to be the customer and I had to sell the cruises.)
I did much better during the customer service interview because those people are super supportive and nice, but they were mostly recruiting salespeople so I guess I didn't make the cut.

Question 1
I think the computer search phased me the most, but that's just me.

Interview
Springfield, OR call center: Large group interviews with several managers present. About 10 of us at a time seated side-by-side facing two management or HR leads. Questions were asked, answered by interviewees one at a time in order.
Those who passed took the strict 45/min typing test (PRACTICE) and tasks to find cruises or info on the rccl.com website quickly. (KNOW THEIR WEBSITE AND HOW TO FIND THINGS.) If passed, I was led to a small room with a phone. The phone rang to pretend I was an agent answering questions. Be happy, efficient, confident and enthusiastic, think on your feet and use any brochures and posters/flyers in the room to answer the questions and up-sell.

Interview
You will shadow an employee before your interview. Learn and hear what they do with the guest that call in and then you will have your interview. The interview was 2 people. They were very nice and the process was fast. No longer than 10 minutes.
