The amount a cabin steward makes on a cruise ship can depend on the cruise line itself.
However on average most cabin stewards make $2,200.00 to $2,800.00 per month working on a cruise ship as a cabin steward which isn't that bad of pay.
I worked as a cabin steward for Carnival Cruise lines and I made $2,800.00 per month plus some tips from the people I served on the cruise line.
It didn't bother me if no one gave me a tip but it was nice when they did.
I had a guy give me $100.00 for a tip before and that was nice of him.
It was actually a fun job meeting with the people on the cruise ship plus I got to travel on the cruise ship.
