Pros
• With fewer passengers, the immediate workload in areas like dining, housekeeping, and guest services naturally decreases. • Staff might have more time to focus on other tasks, such as deep cleaning, training, or maintenance.
Cons
1. Unprofessional Management: • Instances of unprofessional behavior by supervisors or management, potentially leading to a toxic work environment. • Lack of accountability or awareness from management regarding these issues. 2. Pay Discrepancy: • Significant bias in pay structures, with some crew members receiving disproportionately lower wages compared to industry standards or peers. • The perception that guest revenues are not reflected in fair crew compensation. 3. Comparison with Industry Standards: • Lower pay and benefits compared to other cruise lines, despite higher guest charges. • Negative impact on crew morale and loyalty to the company.
