Strange Requests Crew Members Get
If you are ever looking for a really bizarre story, just find someone in the hospitality and service industry and you will most likely be presented with a goldmine of weirdness. Experienced crew members are pretty used to getting strange requests from passengers while onboard. Apparently young people frequent many of these strange requests. According to USA Today “Some young couples ask, ‘Could you make some towel animals for adults?’ They want naughty animals,” she said. “I say, ‘Sorry, I cannot give you that.'”
Getting Fat Tips
In fact, although a cruise ship worker saves money while onboard, a significant part of their monthly wages comes from tips. So a bubbly, friendly, smiley personality will make it easier to make more cash onboard. But worry not, most cruise lines have a mandatory gratuity which is split among all the employees. The wages are not all that bad when it comes down to it really. Many manage to send quite a bit of money home to their families, they basically have no expenses while on board, so a little really goes a long way.
