Carnival cruise lines. Our room steward was from Indonesia. When I said how much we loved Bali, he said he was from Java. Then he runs off and a minute later appears with another steward who is from Bali to introduce to me. From memory he was going to be on the ship for either 9-12 months before going home. Just about all cruises have staff from all over the world. I'm sure he'll find other Balinese on board. The pay is not great, but includes food & lodging, and as said before the tips are what they rely on.
