Summary

Carnival Corporation is a cruise line and leisure operator headquartered in Florida. The company has filed 399 H-1B petitions since 2010, showing increased sponsorship activity in recent years with 22 filings in FY2026.

In FY2026, Carnival achieved a 95.5% certification rate on its H-1B filings, with 4.5% withdrawn and no denials. This marks a significant improvement from its all-time certification rate of 32.58%, reflecting a shift toward more streamlined hiring practices. The company's H-1B portfolio is dominated by technology roles: Software Developers account for 81 filings, Data Scientists for 56, and Operations Research Analysts, Database Administrators, and other computer occupations making up the remainder.

Carnival's filing volume has fluctuated considerably, peaking at 42 petitions in 2018 before declining during 2020–2022, then recovering sharply with 62 filings in FY2025 and 22 in FY2026. This pattern suggests the company scaled back H-1B sponsorship during pandemic disruptions and has since resumed hiring specialized technical talent to support its digital and operational capabilities.
