I have received two job offers in the cruise industry and I am trying to decide between them.
Option 1: Royal Caribbean
Position: Restaurant attendant
Salary: 934 USD
I am unsure whether tips are included or if this is only base pay
Option 2: Carnival Cruise Line
Position: Bar server
Salary: 300 USD
Assignment not fully confirmed yet
I am new to cruise ship work and this will be my first contract.
My situation:
I will be sailing with Royal Caribbean in June, while Carnival has not yet assigned my position or contract details.
Questions:
Does Royal Caribbean restaurant attendant salary usually include tips or is it separate?
Is the higher base salary at Royal Caribbean typically better than a lower base with higher tips on Carnival?
Which role tends to be better for overall earnings, workload, and working conditions?
Any advice from people with cruise ship experience would really help me decide
