How much do beauty therapists earn on steiner cruise ships?

Question

I know they get paid commission which is 7.25% of what they earn but realisticly if a facial is $100 that is only $7 you earn? is this right? can someone please help?

Answer 1

I don't really think the pay is that great, mostly people do it to be able to travel around and visit the ports.  They usually alternate days off for the staff at the ports so they can see every other one.  On all the ships the spa staff is always from all different countries.  After talking to some spa employees, they say there is a lot of rules for ship employees. (one told me if you get pregnant you are fired.)
