i went on a week-long caribbean cruise with my parents when i was 15. by the first day i was already sick but our waiters who had been working with the company for years were the nicest, happiest people. at one point they explained how they stay on the ships for a third of the year. it was the only time they broke their happy attitudes talking about how they don't get to see their families and their children. everyone on the cruise was also really rude and impatient with the staff while we were there. i felt so bad for them but i figured they must enjoy their jobs if they've been working so long.

I have known quite a few musicians that worked on cruise ships. For them, it was great because they got better treatment and rooms than other staff. They also made decent money which was almost completely disposable. I have heard that the conditions are much worse for the "lower rank" staff who have to share a room with multiple people and are not allowed above deck where the guests are. Really depends on the type of job you get but the better paying ones seem to work for people I know. But even then, you cannot do it long-term or you go stir crazy and lose sense of reality.

I have a similar job in the summer where I live where I work (usually a small isolated island) only accessible by boat. It's off-the-grid and we are only able to communicate via VHF radios. We deal with tourists as well and we're expected to take a "day-off," but you end up doing work anyway because you see tourists every day, YET our boss would want us to keep track those extra hours by the minute. She'll make you feel guilty for working on your day-off and guilty if you outright do nothing. The "mandatory" day-off was so they could get away with not paying us that extra day, and to avoid labour laws that prohibit employers from making you work 7 days a week. I worked an 8 week shift. I had to beg for a day off, THEN once I got back into town I faked having explosive diarrhea and never came back no matter how many times she called me LOL

I was a cook on a cruise ship and my job had no days off 10-12 hours a day with an hour or 2 lunch break in the middle. Minimum contract 5 months could extend up to 10 months My job was paid hourly and if i remember correctly i think i got 10.50 an hour and before i went i was making around 20 an hour in the city i worked in which is really because of my experience in the industry. The cruise line does not care about experience when considering pay. I did have a lot of expenses. My rent was high, bills, gas parking in downtown was shit and i was just kind of ready for a change. I did not own a lot of things so i packed my things and drove to my families house in a different city and headed out on an adventure. I was on a cruise ship that went around the Hawaiian Islands so that part was cool. The first month i hated it probably because working long hours everyday with no days off was something i had to get used to but eventually i did get somewhat used to it and i was able to get off the ship for a few hours a week to see the Islands mostly at night when the ship was docked overnight. Yes food and shelter are paid for and usually a decent amount of food options but nothing was fantastic but it would fill you up and keep you alive. You did have to pay for any snacks and toiletries any extras you wanted. I like redbull and found myself drinking a couple a day to keep going. I would get a case each week at walmart. Crew is allowed to bring beverages on board unlike guests. I dont drink alcohol but you could buy that onboard but there is a very strict policy of crew members not being over .04 bac at any time so was kind of baffling to me that there was a crew bar and you could buy a bottle of wine to take to your room if i remember correctly. People did still get messed up off and on the ship but there was security as soon as you stepped onto the ship that would breath test you if you seeemed heavily intoxicated and would immediately escort you to your cabin to gather your things and remove you from the ship and leave you in whatever port only for you to pay your own way home or wherever you were going so if you like to drink and smoke weed be aware of the alcohol policy and they do random drug tests each week i think 50 random people and i was tested 3 weeks in and a couple months. Some people still would anyway because the test was always the same day each week so they may smoke that first day or 2 after tests were given and spend the week detoxing. I loved to smoke before going but i just didn't bother because your spending so much time working that after awhile you really just want to relax a bit and go to sleep. Its not a job for everyone. You need to know its long hours with no days off for months. Covid hit during my contract and we disembarked all guests and everyone was put into their own rooms so going from small crew cabins with 2 other stinky dudes to my own guest room was a nice break but we were not allowed off the ship for a month before cruise line offered a ticket home which i did not really have but i went to my families city to live and eventually got settled into a nice job so when cruising resumed again i chose not to got back as well as many people i was in contact with chose not to as we My thoughts are that if you're a single person who just wants to do something different maybe you feel stuck in your situation go for it. Its got to be hard for people in relationships or if you have children to be away but you might be able to do it. $400 bucks a week is not much money but there are other jobs. If i did it over i would've gone for a tipping job. I was promised chance of promotions but quickly after getting there i realized no one gets promoted from the position they accept. Just be aware you may absolutely hate it at first as most do but give it a month before you start thinking about buying a plane ticket home. They only buy your ticket to the ship and home when you finish your contract

I haven’t worked on a cruise, but did work for a holiday company for a couple months and lived on site. I worked hospitality waitressing, running events, cleaning, washing up etc. The laws have changed since then, but at the time we only earned about £400/month as the other benefits (housing/food/electricity/lift passes) ‘counted’ towards our salary. This also wasn’t America so tips are essentially non-existent (like €25/week split between 5 of us if we had a nice older couple staying). We’d get one day off a week but it was essentially impossible not to bump into guests so you always had to be ‘on’. All in all, it was a fun experience for a couple of months as a summer job as a teenager/early twenties. I lived in a gorgeous place, got to do lots of fun things and for my teenage responsibilities the pay was fine. When I came home I slept for a week straight. A fun experience, but I could never do it as a full time job.

I'm so intrigued by this whole thing and I'm loving these updates! Can't wait for the main channel update later. For anyone interested, the podcast My Favorite Murder has covered a few different ship stories. One specifically about a cruise ship was from Episode 315 titled "Here Be Monsters!" it's the story of Moss and Tracy Hills. It's pretty epic. There's also an article based on this event titled "The guitarist who saved hundreds of people on a sinking cruise liner" On MFM, they usually do two stories an episode, this one starts around 50 or 52 minutes in, depending on where you're listening. Episode 348 called "Old Biscuit" covers the survival story of the Titanic's baker, Charles Joughin and episode 365 "You Don't Ever Know" includes the story of a ghost ship called the Mary Celeste. Just throwing these out there for the morbidly curious. I couldn't handle working on a cruise ship, but it's cool that some people seem to really enjoy it. Tbh it would be cool if they were getting paid more than minimum wage, but idk they *seem* happy??

I can't figure out if people in the comments are being deliberately dense or what. Yes, if these people had normal expenses their pay would be way too low. BUT THEY DON’T HAVE HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES. Most of what YOU are paid goes into bills. These people have what is normally done via bill taken care of. They don’t buy food on their salary, they don’t pay an electricity bill on their salary, they don’t pay a water bill on their salary, they don’t pay rent/mortgage on their salary, and they don't pay for medicine or healthcare on their salary. On some cruise ships employees pay for wifi, but that's pretty much the only monthly expense they have. On most cruise ships employees have none of the normal household expenses. So they are putting most if not all of what they are paid into their savings (minus taxes). So likely around 1k a month into savings on average. That is NOT poor. Why do people just hear a number and their eyes glaze over and they don’t listen to the circumstances around it?

The laws that needs to be followed onboard a ship depends on where the ship is registered. The maritime labour laws are somewhat standardized in most of the world, but some countries have stricter rules. It is quite normal though to have 12 hour days (If you work on deck or bridge, it's often split in 2, so you might work for 6 hours and then have 6 hours off, called 6:6 watch, other systems also exists). both 3 and 6 months are normal length of time onboard without any days off. How much time you get off also varies. I'm Norwegian, so we usually have 1:1 ratio when working on NOR flagged ships (other rules apply to NIS flagged ships, same country, but the latter one gets treated as a foreign ship when in Norwegian waters and also don't have as strict labour laws as NOR ships), so if you work for 3 months, you get 3 months at home. Captains of cruise ships often work like that, they work for a certain amount of months, then they go home, and the other captain comes onboard, working the same amount of months, before the first one comes back.

I worked on cruise ships for 5 and a half years. The $1350 per month salary is most likely for base level crew members such as housekeeping and wait staff, who typically come from developing countries, and have their salaries subsidised with tips. To most of them, it’s worth putting in the long work hours since they’re earning way more than they’d make in their home countries. I was a performer on board, working substantially less, and making substantially more, and enjoying a lot more benefits than the majority of crew members. Though it’s worth noting that most ship performers come from developed countries so our expenses at home are higher and we’re accustomed to better working conditions. That doesn’t necessarily make it fair though, so I considered myself very lucky. And you’re absolutely right about the lack of labour laws at sea. Cruise ships fly “flags of convenience” meaning they’re registered in countries like Panama or the Bahamas where the labour laws are far less strict. Working on ships is definitely not for everyone, and everyone has their complaints just like any other job, but for the most part we’re happy and enjoy the unique culture onboard. Oh also, all the influencers spilling the “tea” about all the “drama” on the 9 month cruise would have no way of knowing this, but everything that’s happened so far is compleeeeetely normal for any cruise ship.

Yeah, my understanding is the same laws that mean a lot more is legal in international waters, also mean you can potentially treat workers worse/exploit them more than workers on land, who would be covered by local labor laws. I've heard it can sometimes verge into what could legally be considered human trafficking, and it's also potentially a good employment opportunity for people with criminal records (which isn't inherently a bad thing, since they also need jobs, but it depends what those records contain, and cruises don't always do background checks, etc). Also, cruise ships are sort of notorious for both workers and occasionally passengers just disappearing and never being seen again? In most cases this is probably someone falling overboard, or *maybe* getting stranded at a port because they didn't get back onboard in time, and then getting lost in a foreign country and disappearing, but _we don't know._ Cruise ships are sketchy like that, at least the big ones (also germ-wise, they function as petri dishes on the same level as fan conventions, especially post-COVID).

In terms of work hours, the maximum hours you can work on a ship (as per the Maritime Labour Convention) are 14 hours a day and 72 hours in any 7 day period. Idk what hours they would actually do though, as working the maximum is generally avoided.

ppl here saying how great it is to make 1,350$ a month on a cruise because you don`t pay rent. What about the time where you need to get off the ship and wait for the next season? the money that you`d spend on short rentals and other stuff would eat up all the money saved up.

I get paid less than $1350 a month which is why I can't afford an apartment by myself. If only I wasn't scared to be on the sea for that long, I might've worked cruise ships just to save money

I have experience working on a cruise ship. But it won't happen for 36 years, so I can't really say much without jeopardizing the timeline further than I already have. I'm saying too much already.

I'll stick with my dead end minimum wage job on land. At least if I am sick - or I god forbid have COVID - I can call off and not have to worry about getting everyone else around me sick too (plus it's excused so long as I have a doctor's note). You just have to hope that you have the strongest immune system ever, or that you experience absolutely no health complications whatsoever when you're working on a cruise ship.

9:30 uhh except you wouldn’t actually be saving on rent unless you managed to sublet your place while ur gone (or just didn’t have one, I guess..? 🤷♀️), and depending where you live, $1350 may not even cover a single month’s rent - which is esp egregious considering the whole ‘no (-maybe 1) days off’ thing. Like damn, with how expensive cruise ship tix are, you’d think they’d at least be able to pay the crew members a living wage 🤨

TO PUT $400,000 IN PERSPECTIVE: I grew up in America--Eastern Shore around DC. my parents made around this much in a year due to their status at their respective companies. I WAS LITERALLY MADE FUN OF FOR BEING POOR. it all depends on what you're spending that money ON. my family "had no money" growing up because of the cost of housing, food, medical bills, and education for 3 kids (2 neurodivergent, 1 chronically ill). i, of course, am extremely privileged to have grown up the way i did. but i just feel like we forget that the salary doesn't = money pocketed. especially here in this country where most of your money will be eaten by taxes, housing, healthcare, and transportation.

Without living expenses (usually at least 50% of income) it’s ok I guess. 90k for Captains isn’t great for such a skill stuck on a ship etc.

The cope of the ship employees is going hard. They don't want to admit they're underpaid so they lie about having no bills. They definitely have cars, house/apartment and other bills t hey still have to pay on land. Am I supposed to believe that they all don't have cars that have insurance payments monthly? And what do they not have to live somewhere in-between cruise jobs? Even if they sold houses and had no apartments on land the entire cruise they're still going to need to find a place to live when they get back to land.
