Tony, the pay scales I quoted were current - and came from a simple google search of jobs aboard cruise ships. The $2,400 per month rate works out to $600 per week, which is exactly what Joe told me he was making 20 years ago. Keep in mind that historically, pay scales have not really changed very much in this business over the past 50 years, at least that's the case in my part of the world and the other locations I've performed.

All the best,

Gary
