#30: Make Sure to Give Crew Members a Positive Review
Cruise ship crew members depend on positive passenger reviews for their earnings. While the ship’s amenities are designed for passenger enjoyment, crew members’ pay is often determined by the reviews they receive. Good reviews can result in a substantial bonus that helps compensate for their relatively low salaries.
Conversely, negative feedback can mean the loss of that bonus, leaving them with a relatively modest income. It’s a system akin to how waitstaff relies on tips rather than a fixed salary. While passengers enjoy their vacations, crew members work diligently to ensure a memorable experience, making these reviews a crucial aspect of their livelihoods.
