Creator's Key Takeaways
crew members doing the same job at the same level were not paid the same. They were paid based on where they come from.
Many crew instead are employed by and work for third-party companies that the line uses to run several facilities including the spa and fitness center, shops, art auctions, the photo center, and even the medical center on some cruise ships.
every crew member I spoke to raised this issue. I had heard about how inexpensive drinks were in the crew bar and of course the reputation that crew have for parting hard, but it's way more complicated and for a very good reason.
crew members are subject to random drug and alcohol breathalyzer tests. The reason being that every crew member has to be ready capable to perform in the case of a ship emergency.
