    50$ a month? I hope you realise this is BS.

    well, when I went on a carnival cruise, our waiter, who was from thailand gave us the real scoop, he said that it is hard from being away from home at such a long time (eight-nine months) but he still loves it, he said this with a huge smile on his face, he says the salary is generous and that carnival pays for his flight back to his family in thailand, he said that some of the only down side is how horrible some of the snotty tight ed people could be (he didnt say , i added it)

    Let me get this …
    Let me get this straight: you’ve worked on numerous cruise ships, all of which sucked and took unfair advantage of you, underpaid you, basically made you their slave, and yet YOU KEPT WORKING ON ONE SHIP AFTER ANOTHER without getting the point that maybe you should try something else, and people should take what you say seriouslY???? , if I worked in an industry that treated me like chattel, I’d leave the first moment I could. Something is fishy about you, brother.

  • PirateEyepatch says:

    willychili, you’re …
    willychili, you’re full of . Crew workers sign eight month contracts and get a base salary per month, plus tips. They work hard and should probably get more, but it’s certainly not fifty dollars a month.

    If you’re stupid enough to sign a contract to work for fifty dollars a month, that’s another thing entirely. Thankfully, on all the ships I’ve cruised on, the hard-working crew was never stupid like you are. If so, I’m pretty sure we would have sunk more than once.

    rosalinaband: I am nor talking as passenger; i’m talking about working conditions for crew. I was in Fincantieri, Italy, for the maiden voyage on 1998 working more than 12 hours a day doing carpets and painting even when my contract was on the Fodd and Beverage Dept.
    I’ve also worked on RCL, Celebrity, DCL and Princess so please trust in what I’m saying

  • willychili says:

    Hi Travelguy, I …
    Hi Travelguy, I agree with you in every single aspect; what I meant is the poor working conditions for crew members (I’ve been crew on RCI, Celebrity, DCL and Princess), ie. a crew from Chine works at least 10 months without even seeing the day light for a tinny salary. Waiters received US$50.- a month as salary, the rest come from tips (suggested)so if pax doesn’t tip, the company doesn’t care. I wish I could talk deeply about it; if you want to pls send me a msg.

  • travelguy78 says:

    Hello Willy. There …
    o Willy. There are MANY ships registered in Bahamas or other countries with poor legislation of certain things like working conditions. But there are classification societies (Lloyds Of London , Det Norske Veritas , and several others) which take care off all the technical stuff. I can give you a long briefing on how this works if you wants to. I do have a captains certificate.. QM2 is one of the most beautiful passenger ships sailing the world today. I miss SS Norway

    QM2 is a nice ship but too fancy for me. It seems to me that you aren’t a cruiser because there is a big difference between Disney Cruise Line and Cunard. How old are you? I can give you some advises

    u sure did! thnks. I won’t go on her then! QM2 is what i’ll go on!

    Because the whole ship was a pain in the for crew and passengers, first of all a big delay on the delivery from Fincantieri, second on the first cruise the peolple was complaining even because of the ship doesn’t have a casino…Hello!!!. The itineraries are crap and the working conditions for crew were awful (ship is registered in the Bahamas, in other words under flag of convenience). I hope I answered your question

    We’re trying desperately to get on one of the repos next summer. We were on the med cruise a week ago, and while we were there, both P-canal repo cruises sold out. I’m hoping something opens up!
