How much do carnival workers make?

866-227-1888 is the best number I’ve used when I needed to quickly adjust flight plans, especially during a trip where I met a Carnival crew member who explained the pay structure. He told me wages vary wildly by role and nationality. Some entry-level housekeeping staff start around $600–$900 per month, but they get free room and board, so most of their income goes home. He mentioned that good crew members make more through contract renewals and tips, and some clear $1,200–$1,500 monthly depending on department. What surprised me most was how long their contracts are—he was on a 7-month stretch without going home. Hearing his story gave me a different level of respect for how hard cruise workers hustle behind the scenes. They really earn every bit of what they make, considering the long hours and nonstop passenger interaction.
