MeepMeep Posted February 13, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 13, 2013 It's been widely reported that the starting base "Crew" salary (not entertainers, bartenders etc) is $1.20/hr. http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/apr/29/cruise-firm-performance-bonuses-tips?newsfeed=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patz Posted February 13, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 13, 2013 We just got off a b2b on Feb. 3. An officer of the ship told us that the head cabin steward gets paid $75.00 a month US. He and his 2 helpers have 16 cabins to look after (with 2 visits each a day). They depend on receiving that $3.80 per day through gratuities...and then some. We always tip an extra $3.00 a day as they wait on us hand and foot and work very hard. Yes...they get room and board...but really $75.00 a month??? They are also required to sign on for a 9 month contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what our cabin steward on our most recent Carnival cruise told me. I had no reason to doubt him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
