Putting things into perspective...I don't think most citizens of the USA would want to live on a $50-100 base wage/month, dependency entirely on tips, plus 14-16 hour work days (on embarkation/debarkation days the average sleep the crew gets is 4-6 hours), and cramped quarters. But for those who come from less fortunate backgrounds in third world countries, the money can speak wonders back home.
