My pal works on cruise ships as a blackjack dealer, reckons the moneys real good cos the punters tip well as they re all in a good mood.
Yep, casino staff can make some good money on the ships. Tips can be good like you say, depending on the clientele cruising at the time.
Once your higher up on the ladder there are a few positions which make some good money on board. I'd be a cruise ship captain over a pilot any day of the week, except for Captain Schettino
