The amount of money that you make working on a cruise ship depends on what you're doing for employment on the cruise ship.
Most people who do work on a cruise ship earn around $1,200.00 per month to $1,500.00 per month for those working as maids, waiters, cooks etc.
The cruise ship captain who drives or actually operates the cruise ship may make as much as $150,000.00 per year.
So the only person who makes the most good money on a cruise ship is the Captain of the cruise ship.
But working on a cruise ship can be a good job though as you do get to travel and go on cruises while working.
