Is someone here experience working on a Norwegian Cruise Line in hawaii? How was the paycheck?

Question

I'm still deciding if I will work on a cruise line b'coz they said NCL dont pay employees?or they only gave low salary? is it true? I work here in guam I make like 1300 in 2 weeks coz I got 2 jobs do you think its a right decision for me to work on a cruise coz they said you can make like $20,000 for 6 months

Answer 1

I worked on ships and it depends on what area you work. The ship of NCL that does hawaii doesnt go out of the usa, so you have to pay tax. If you can, try the other major cruise lines like Royal Caribbean, celebrity, Hal. You get paid US dollars and you dont pay any tax, and ive worked with people from guam and they seemed to think it was good money.

I did four contracts, my first two i didnt save any money, but on my last two i saved around $15k both times

Good luck!!
