When looking at the raw numbers, people who work on cruise liners may not make the most money in the world. Before you jump to conclusions, there are two things to remember. One is that you have zero expenses while working on a cruise liner. You do not pay bills, nor rent, and the food is complimentary. The other is that the pay is not taxed. This means that every dollar you earn goes into your pocket.
