They Get Weird Requests
Strange anecdotes abound in the service and hospitality business. You never know what you’re going to get, so be prepared for the unexpected. When at sea, cruise ship crews are used to receiving strange demands from passengers. According to USA Today, a cruise ship employee receives weird requests from young couples aboard the ship regularly. It’s more usual than startling at this point. “Some young couples ask, ‘Could you make some towel animals for adults?’ They want naughty animals,” she said. “I say, ‘Sorry, I cannot give you that.’”

They Get Big Tips
Much like being a bartender, the majority of a cruise ship worker’s cash comes from tips. It may be difficult to get tips if you don’t have a lively, outgoing attitude, but don’t worry. The majority of cruise lines impose a required gratuity that is shared among all crew members. When it comes down to it, the money is actually rather decent. Many workers save money by sending money home to their families. Onboard the ship, there are essentially no expenses; thus, living on the cheap is simple. It’s true that a little goes a long way.
