Cruise Line Employee Pay, Benefits, and other Compensation

Pay is a big factor for cruise ship employees. If you’ve found yourself wondering how much you can earn and how much you can save while working on a cruise ship, you’re not alone. Here we discuss in greater detail some of the earning potential and pay-related issues that cruise ship employees commonly ask about.

Crew Member Sarah Poses before Reboarding Cruise Ship

The pay you can earn by working on a cruise ship is largely determined by your position. There are, however, a number of other factors that can contribute to your earnings. The size of the ship, the type of ship, the clientele, the cruise liner, tips earned and your job experience will all affect your earning potential. How much you earn will also depend on whether or not your pay is salary or commission-based. Each of these factors should be taken into account when trying to forecast the money you can earn or save by working in the cruise industry.

As a paid cruise ship employee you will have to pay all the income taxes you would normally pay working at a land-based job. Keep in mind though, that there are some big differences to land-based jobs. For example, in most cases, on a cruise ship, your cabin is free. Additionally, for the duration of your contract you will likely have no grocery bills, and in many cases, uniforms are provided by the cruise line. Some companies will even pay laundry expenses. This means that it is possible to bank nearly all your earnings, especially if you don’t have too many land-based expenses.

“I would have saved virtually everything, but I had a lot of shore -based bills, like a car and student loan payments. Before you go, definitely get rid of expenses you don’t need while on board, like car and rent payments. Practically everything was paid for, we really didn’t have any living worries at all. No cooking, no laundry, and our rooms were cleaned for us every day; we even got free dry-cleaning. We did have to pay our room steward ten dollars per week, and that was pretty much it. Of course, alcohol and restaurant stuff is really expensive on the ship. For instance, a beer cost almost four bucks, so if you go over your bar allowance (which I always did), it can cost you a lot.”

A gift shop employee offers this insight:

“I managed to save some money during my six-month contract since I had no expenses and my commissions [tips] started adding up. I could have saved a lot more, though, if I hadn’t done so much shopping in the different ports of call that I went to. Unfortunately, we visited Hawaii right before the end of my contract, and I really spent a lot of money there. I knew someone who worked in a gift shop on a ship and came back after ten months with $12,000 in the bank, but most people don’t make close to this much. Commissions varied a lot, and the most I ever got was $800 a month. A lot of it depends on what kind of passengers you have. Our line was kind of a budget one that offered lower prices. We jokingly called it ‘K-Mart Cruises.’ The passengers tended to be cheap, but that’s not true on all lines. Some of them are really upscale.”

It is true that compensation can vary greatly from cruise line to cruise line. However, on large lines, staff and entry-level positions such as aerobics instructors, youth counselors, junior purser , disc jockeys, and hosts, will receive an industry-standard wage around $1,200-$1,500 per month. Casino workers, waiters, and bartenders depend heavily on tips, which can sometimes double salaries.

Positions such as these tend to be in high demand because of the increased earning potential, and not surprisingly, are harder to procure.

Raises are relatively rare for people who remain the cruise staff, although wages will increase with experience on some ships. Wages increase dramatically when a staff member takes on a new position like that of a cruise director or assistant cruise director. In positions like these, cruise ship employees can make as much as $4,500 a month. Keep in mind though, that these positions are very competitive. One of the top-earning positions onboard is that of a cruise director, a position that can command as much as  $80,000 per year! Although, the average cruise ship director salary is $50,000 annually. Of course, competition for these positions can be fierce, with many qualified applicants competing for only two or three positions per ship.

So what can you expect to make? The majority of positions are based on an hourly wage and most employment opportunities on a cruise ship earn $1,200-$1,500 a month. There are though, a large number of positions that can make as much as $2,500 a month equating to $13 an hour. Because work weeks on a cruise ship are typically longer than your typical work week, a cruise ship employee can expect to work over 45 hours in a week on average. Some cruise ship employees will work closer to 60. While this may seem long and arduous, the earning potential of all those hours worked is an excellent payoff.

Again, earnings will vary depending on the cruise line you are contracted with, but in general, you can expect to at least secure a comfortable existence while on board, and have money in your pocket when you depart. Most cruise ship employees do.

Almost every cruise line offers a cruise discount for employees who have been with the company for over a year. Taking your family on a cruise for as little as $15 a day can add up to thousands of dollars in saved vacation expenses, and give your family the chance to see places they might not be able to otherwise experience. While you probably won’t become a million by going to sea , it is possible to enrich your life with a healthy sum of money, and, perhaps more importantly, fond memories.

The Best Discounts for Airline Employees and Where to Find Them

Joining an airline means opening yourself up to a whole new world of travel opportunities. And for a lot of people, the discounts for airlines employees are one of the biggest perks. You know, after the travel benefits, of course. There are many places we’ve traveled as a direct result of airline travel benefits (looking at you Japan). But airline employee discounts expand beyond flight privileges. As an airline employee, you also have access to hotel discounts, cruise deals, and even special rates on things like car rentals and airport transfers.

Over the years, we’ve accumulated a list of booking sites offering the best discounts for airline employees. Here are our favorites:

Note that these sites are always changing, but we’ll do our best to keep them up-to-date!

In most cases you’ll need to provide a valid airline employee ID to sign up with these booking sites. Also, as a general note: none of these services or websites have paid us. There are a few affiliate benefits for us if you sign up, but those don’t add anything to your cost. Also, these are all things we actively use… affiliate or not… because they’re so useful!

As an airline employee, it’s nice to have a one-stop-shop for all your travel discount needs. ID90 is one of our favorites because they offer deals on hotels, cruises, all inclusives, rental cars, and more. They also have a mobile app so you can pivot back and forth no matter what device you’re using. The ease of use, dependability, and amount of deals offered is why ID90 is one of the best sites to find discounts for airline employees.

Many hotel deals also offer refundable rates. And I don’t have to tell you just how necessary flexible cancellation policies are as an airline employee traveling standby.

In addition to signing up and getting a discount, you can add a $15 credit added to your account by using the discount code familyonstandby !

Sidenote: another great benefit of this website is you can give your family and friends access. After signing up you’ll receive a referral link to share so you can spread the wealth with others. And it’s one of the only sites to have a booking rewards program.

Another popular site for airline employee discounts is Perx. They are well known for cruise interline rates. They even offer rates for some cruise lines not found on other sites, like Disney. Many of these rates apply not only to active and retired employees of airlines, but spouses, dependent children under 18, parents, and in-laws. Each property or cruise line has its own rules.

We’ve booked on Perx several times and you can get some really phenomenal rates. If you’ve ever used Perx before, one thing to note is they’ve made some recent changes. There is no longer a Perx cancellation fee (only those that may come directly from the cruise line or hotel). And they also offer booking with instant confirmation and free cancellation for many of the hotels and resorts.

Airline Staff Rates

This is a great site, primarily for booking hotels at the interline rate. Unlike some of the others on the list, you can book directly with the hotel. So if you are looking for a Marriott or Hilton hotel for instance, this website will give you the specific code and link to use to get your airline employee discount with those brands. We love their organized list of airline staff discounts for various destinations and hotel chains.

You’ll also have the option of discounted car rentals and sightseeing tours. An all-around great resource for crew hotel rates.

Staff Traveler

If you’re looking for help on non-rev loads with partner airlines, Staff Traveler is your answer. You can request load information for your specific airline, date, and destination. We’ve used this many times and its always quick and easy. They have an excellent mobile app (which is actually how they started) and have recently added a full web experience.

In addition to flights, you can also find a wide selection of hotel deals. You’ll just need to create a free account to see all the hotel deals.

Staff Travel Voyage

This one is a bit newer to us, but we’ve found some really great deals depending on the destination. It’s built to provide discounts for airline employees, but also travel agencies, hotel employees, and even friends and family. They offer some really great rates for all inclusive resorts, so we recommend checking it out. They also have a top 10 list for their best selling deals, so you can see some of the most popular picks.

One of the biggest benefits to using this website is that a lot of the partners don’t require you pay upfront. You may be asked to pay a deposit and won’t pay the remainder until check-in. Most properties also have flexible cancellation.

Another option that is popular for interline discounts for airline employees. We have yet to book with this site, but love the variety of deals they offer. They have discounts on cruises and resorts, but also shore excursions, insurance, and even variety cruises. It’s worth checking out and comparing with other sites on this list.

They claim to have the best cruise rates for airline employees. There is no direct booking engine like the others on the list. For this one, you fill out a form with your cruise of choice and they will work to beat all other rates. Reasons to book with NexCruise: they claim to have the lowest rate around, no booking fees, and exclusive onboard perks.

Hotels that offer airline employee discounts

If you’re looking for discounts on a specific hotel chain, here are some of our favorites:

Great Wolf Lodge – use code Perks606

Caesar’s Hotels – no code needed

Hilton Hotels – use group code “AL”

IHG Hotels – no code needed

Marriott – enter “Z31” under Corp/Promo Code in the special rates dropdown

Outrigger – apply special rate “airline employee” in dropdown

Aqua Aston Hotels – add promo code “Airline”

Which booking site has the best discounts for airline employees?

We did a quick price comparison to determine which of these sites has the advantage. It will always depend on factors like dates and destination, but it’s a good starting point! Sometimes, prices are right on par with the regular rates. But other times, particularly in resort-type settings, you’ll see some HUGE discounts. We price compared a couple resorts using the same filters just to see what would happen. Check out a couple examples below:

Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort Orlando (February 3-5)

ID90 – $452 for standard room (refundable)

Staff Travel Voyage – $450 for standard room (refundable)

Interliner – $473 for standard room (refundable)

Perx – $462 for standard room

Staff Traveler – $462 for standard room

Airline Staff Rates – $465 for standard room (refundable)

Universal Orlando standard rate – $466 for standard room (refundable)

Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres All Inclusive (January 20-22)

ID90 – $877 for Junior Suite

Staff Travel Voyage – $455 for Junior Suite

Staff Traveler – $1060 for Junior Suite

Grand Palladium standard rate – $1179 for Junior Suite

Hey! This is an absolute gold-mine! I just wanted to thank you for putting it together and also let you know that the link for Aqua Aston goes to Outrigger. All the best, Jeremy

Thanks! Ya, there was some renaming, I think. Thanks for pointing it out!

This is not a comment but a question. Do these websites also include discounts for retired airline employees?

Yes!!! Most of these are available to retirees.

Ooh thanks..taking the family to florida in Oct..any ideas for Orlando and sarasota?

Beautiful information. Thank you for sharing

Of course! Thanks for the visit 🙂

We’re new to airline life— are these sites clear as to whether the airline employee has to be present to receive the discount or if it can extend to the spouse? Thanks!

Ya! Most are pretty clear on the terms. But for example, Perx is almost exclusively employee needing to be present. ID90, however, has friends and family privileges.

Very informative, thanks for shairing.

Thank you for sharing

Extremely pleasant and fascinating post. I was searching for this sort of data and appreciated perusing this one. Continue posting. Much obliged for sharing.

Interline: Travel & cruise discounts for airline employees

Discounted fares also available to members of military, veterans, retirees.

San Francisco Bay Area

CruiseClout score: 95.0

For the average cruise traveler, say the word “interline” and you might as well be speaking a foreign language. But for those in the know, the word unlocks all sorts of special advantages and travel goodies.

For interline booking, it turns out, provides reduced rates for airline employees, their immediate family, parents and retirees who want to take a cruise vacation at a special price.

In addition, other travel benefits are available to U.S. military personnel and veterans, members of police and fire departments and employees of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association. As Wikipedia writes :

"Interline discounts on cruises and hotels can be booked through interline travel agencies. To qualify, the traveler must provide proof of eligibility, such as a copy of their airline ID badge or letter of employment on airline letterhead."

Interline has always been a bit of an insider's game, with only select agencies proficient of making it work on behalf of clients, so we try to shed some light on the subject in this Q&A. All you really need to know is that interline can save you lots of money in your travels if you're eligible.

Now that cruise bookings are booming again, even if ships aren't sailing yet, I thought it would be a good time to interview Diane Fish, whose Twin Fish Interline travel agency — the primary partner of Cruiseable — has been booking cruise travelers for two decades.

JD: A lot of folks aren't aren't familiar with what interline is. Help us understand.

Travel agent Diane Fish:

Diane : Interline is the term used when you work for an airline like Delta and you are going to fly on another carrier as one of the benefits of working for an airline. It's a buzzword in the airline industry that refers to a rate that applies to airline employees and retirees and their immediate families. And a lot of people and family members don't even realize they're eligible for these reduced rates. 

So it could apply to any person in any department of any airline.

Any employee, any department, anywhere. And their immediate family. There are hundreds of thousands of airline employees working and there is not a day that goes by that I don’t explain to an airline employee the benefits they can take advantage of. They get the air with their employer and they get the cruise or land from us.

And all the airlines take part in this?

Yes. If you work for Jetblue and you want to fly Southwest, there is an interline department at each airline. There is an agreement, with negotiated rates, accessible through an airline employee portal, that the public is not privy to.

Do airline employees go directly to the other airline, or do they go to a travel agent to take advantage of this?

They actually have a pass bureau. The pass bureau is where they get their passes to fly on other carriers as well as other benefits. Every airline employee has to log in and list themselves for a flight, go to the airport and wait until the airline clears the flight, and then the employee can pick up the pass to board the flight. Understandably, there is a hush clause where the employees do not talk about it, do not brag about it, they keep quiet. And when they travel, they pay taxes only.

Can they get on pretty heavily traveled flights or do they have to wait until something opens up?

The airline will not put them on a flight that's full. They must take care of the paying passengers. But a lot of my clients now are looking for deals on airlines as well, so we are actually selling them airline tickets.

Tell us a little about your agency Twin Fish.

We’re not the biggest, but we’re the best. The clients who have been with me for 20 years are still here. They trust us. We handle reunions, weddings, and we've arranged 50th wedding anniversaries. So many you just can’t imagine. And we handle travel for a lot of airline employees.

How do those employees find out about Interline?

A lot of them don't know about it. They have to be inquisitive, they have to kind of ask questions in person and online. We’re happy to help them get their benefit. A lot of these people take a job in an airline, they think it’s just like a job in a bank. Then they realize there are travel benefits. And then they realize that not only they are eligible, their parents are eligible, and in some cases, their in-laws are eligible. So are their children, and the benefits continue when they retire.  

What I think would be smart is for airlines to take us on as their interline department, because we can help their people get so many benefits at other airlines, and at hotels and cruise ships, too. 

How do cruises come into the interline picture?

It’s a marriage. Airline employees get free air, and my agency doesn't book issue airline tickets, but guess what? The airline employees who fly from the U.S. to Barcelona or Rome need something to do when they get there.

Why not take a cruise? They can hop on all the major cruise lines for a lower fare than the general public. You can get some really nice rates from Norwegian , Royal Caribbean and others. It’s a privilege that they aren’t supposed to discuss with the general public, but it’s a benefit that they get for their service.

What kind of discounts are we talking about for cruises or hotels?

They vary. Sometimes as much as 50 to 75%. People think they can get a better deal by researching it on the Internet, but the fact is that they cannot. 

Why do the cruise lines do that?  

It’s a rate code established many years ago that only agencies like mine provide. I’m one of the few companies in the country that does this. It is not known to the general travel community.

Our agency negotiates reduced rate travel for airline employees to get a benefit they are entitled to, so they should call us for all their travel needs.

What about hotels?

Yes, special rates there, too. We're able to help airline employees, airline retirees, active military personnel and veterans find rates lower than they can find online at hundreds of hotels around the world. 

Overwater bungalows at the Four Seasons Bora Bora. Airline employees can often snag overwater bungalows in Bora Bora or Tahiti at lower rates than the general public.

I don't think interline is very well known in the hotel world.  

Marriott does it right for its employees. Every Marriott employee knows they get Marriott employee rates worldwide. And they can book in Europe, they can book in China. Marriott educates their employees on benefits. The airlines do not because they don’t own the product.

I talk to new employees at airlines every day, and they think they can get a better rate at Expedia. But what they don’t know is our relationships are for airline employees, so if I call a travel company up and I request an airline employee rate for our client and I say my client wants a place in Tahiti with a bungalow over the water, the online price would be $500 but the contract rate I have with the company gets it for $450, and the airline employee gets it for $235 per day. There is a rate structure in place from 50 years ago. Young people don’t realize they can get so many other things if they use the right channels. 

You mentioned military discounts.

On Princess Cruises , if you are a military veteran, you can get an onboard credit up to $250 based on the number of days you travel. [See Princess Cruises benefits for military personnel .] We will fill out the papers, send them in, and we can provide you the onboard credit that you get, but most other agencies don't know the process. 

What are the kinds of experiences you've heard about from travelers who've taken advantage of these programs?

One of our partners is Club Med . If you don’t want to take a cruise but want go to an island and want all-inclusive, I have to tell you, Club Med is the bang for the buck. The rate is half price for interline bookings. The reduced rate benefit at comparable resorts is $200-$250 per night. Club Med is going to be $85-$150, depending on the time of year. For instance, rates today start at $115 a day at Club Med Cancun and $105 at Club Med Ixtapa next month. We sell so much Club Med because of the value they provide. We have Turks and Caicos . We have a small private island on El Salvador. We have celebrities, we have ball players on there, and it’s fabulous.

I have one special client who went to the Turks and Caicos Club Med for a special 70th birthday. She had the time of her life as a single woman there. And then we have families who really enjoy the experience -- they go snorkeling and do all the water sports.

One other thing about Turks. The thing to understand about Club Med is they pick the beach first, then they build the property. so they have the best beaches on whatever island they are on, and if you like beaches, that is the place to go. I have to tell you that the Maldives property is like going to Tahiti for about one third of the price. All the honeymooners who want a magical escape, you go to the Maldives and you are going to pay less money. Over-the-water bungalows, all inclusive.

The Cancun property is also amazing, with family units where the parents get a king bed, then twin beds for the kids. You walk out the door you have your lounge chairs, your shower outside and you walk a few steps to the beach. There's a family section, another section for couples and honeymooners. Club Med just hired Cirque du Soleil to do their trapeze programs, designed to teach the general public how to do the trapeze. I did it. The kids did it and they loved it. Then they put the kids in a show. It’s a great place to go to have a total family experience.

Right now we have interline rates through February. You have to be flexible, to wait for the price. If you call me right now and book, we will give you a private offer, and if the rate goes down before you pay in full, we can switch it to the reduced rate benefit!.

It sounds like airline employees have two good choices, to go on a cruise, or a land vacation to Club Med or other properties.  

Absolutely. I would like to tell people, don’t leave the money on the table by booking direct. Use your travel agent, who understands the process and the best value and who's able to provide the best pricing and the best sound advice.

Business note

If you're interested in taking advantage of discounted interline travel rates, military rates or other special savings, call Cruiseable at 1-877-322-3773 and we'll connect you with the agent with expertise in that area.
