Why do cruise ships employ mostly foreign workers?

It is exploitation?
I think it's because of work ethic.
You aren't going to see some teenage kid from Louisiana polishing a garbage can on the lido deck with a smile on his face.

$$$, and they don't have to pay union wages...
besides do you think they can actually find American workers that would put up with the lifestyle?

Nah, it's not that bad. Depends on the position.
Foreign workers are far more motivated, and take far less pay. They can actually support a family on the wages they make and send back home.

You should research this and write a paper on it
Posted on 2/21/19 at 10:43 am to JS87
Because the pay sucks and they do a 6 -12 month hitch.

Bc it would cost a lot more to employ Americans.....

You think they can find an american who is going to work for peanuts and be away from their family for most of the year?

Part of the experience of going on a cruise ship is that feeling of luxury you get from having 3rd world people serve you.

$$$
Hotels do the same as well. When I worked at the Monteleone there were a number of Eastern Europe workers who lived in the hotel.

They aren’t US flagged ships - probably registered in Panama, etc. Filipinos cheap to employ and friendly

Cheap labor, and 14 hours a day of work for 7 straight months. Can't do that in America.

Say it with me
Cheap. Labor.

Have you ever heard of the “Jones Act””? ( Wikipedia Link)
Read up on that and see if you want to pay your cruise ship custodian $60.00 per day or $700.00 per day.

Because this is their living quarters.
Almost all cruise employees sleep in these. Only the engineers & officers get their own room.
