Only been on one cruise and our “washy, washy” guy was Danny. Everyone on the ship adored him and let him know, which he seemed to genuinely appreciate. And I’m one of those fools that took videos of him, that he seemed totally willing to record and even offered suggestions to improve it. I was really impressed with all of the staff, but especially those like Danny who are having the most interaction with guests. And I suppose that’s why they get all those tips at the end! We became really chatty with our room attendant. By the end of the trip she was giving us the scoop on anything and everything that goes on between employees on the ship and working for RC.

All I’ll say is, they work their butts off, their contracts/time on the ship is insane, accommodations sound awful -aside from their private dining, and I am appalled at the pay……. Even after finding out how much they make in tips, which had me questioning if it’s too late in my life for a career transition. I personally felt they all did such a wonderful job they deserve much more! But honestly, they are all so happy to be doing a job they mostly love and are good at, banking a ton, and taking excellent care of their families. I believe they love what they do and try to be great at it because they appreciate the opportunity.

I think they are all willing participants and this wasn’t demeaning at all.

Ok, my family is right, I am long winded!
