before last on Norwegian and he had his airfares paid home after every 8 month rotation - he didn't have to pay for them himself. He considered the wage quite good & as he had good English he was working in the silver service dining room with mainly American pasengers he was making very good tips. He still didn't feel all that lucky as his family are so important to him & life is so very different on the ship - with people of many different nationalities and backgrounds all living in close quarters. So, overall, he was doing it for his family who would be much better off, but was looking forward to returning to Bali. cheers, Sue.
