It might seem that way, but only because of a fault in your math.

 

You neglected to include the fact that 15 cabins were serviced twice daily, and the 22 cabins will only be serviced once daily. Serving 30 people twice daily is equivalent of serving 60 people once daily.

 

As a result, your "cleaning up after 30 people before and 44 now" has to be corrected to "cleaning up after 60 people before and 44 now".

My point is that there aren’t 60 different people.  Previously, there were 30 people, twice daily. Now there are 44 people only once.  Assuming a person in both scenarios is roughly the same (on average), there are more people to deal with now.  Doing 2 services in the same cabin each day is not the same as doing 2 cabins once a day.  There is absolutely more work now.

And add the point from MSP_CRUISER that they will still do turn downs for some, it is even more work.

Maybe there is a different way to look at it.  Assuming double occupancy, if he had 15 cabins before and 22 now, he was cleaning up after 30 people before and 44 now.  I would expect that cleaning the same cabin twice a day is easier than cleaning.2 different cabins in the same day.  Maybe the extra pay covers the extra work, but it does seem like extra work to me.
