From Steiner's Recruitment Site:

What is my earning potential? All staff receive a weekly retainer, however most of your earnings will come from commission. On most ships, tips are received at discretion of the passenger, although on some ships a 10-15% gratuity is added to the cost of the service. The type of ship you work on dictates your earning potential. If you are on a world cruise that stops in an exotic port everyday, your earning potential is minimized. If you are doing regular cruising where you have three or four sea days per cruise, your potential is maximized. Therefore, most staff work on board ships doing regular cruising or transatlantic crossings before requesting a world cruise. Food and living accommodation is paid for by Steiner, therefore all money earned can be saved. All wages are paid in U.S. dollars. There may be tax relief on your earnings. You can check with your accountant regarding overseas earnings.

If I remember correctly, don't the prices in the spa start going down or some type of discount offered later during the week. That seems to stand out in my memory for some reason.

You're right, CreoleGirl ~ they do.

My friend got her hair cut, highlighted and styled at the salon. Nothing special. The cut was basically a trim. The highlights were hardly visible. And she paid a mint.

I only get my hair done on the first formal night. And even then, sometimes attention is quite lacking. (Stick you under a hairblower with curlers in your hair, spritz and send you on your way). My hair curls quite easily, which could have been nice if it was in loose ringlets, but it was an updo.

More than anything, I resent how they try to push their products. It ruins my experience.

PS: Don't be fooled by their wonderful Aussie accents ~ The products aren't worth as much as they're selling them for.

We started the book on the Glory in September 2003. I wonder if anyone's found that one and how many of the pages are signed. :)

Glad to see there's one on the Miracle ~ I'll keep an eye on the library hours.
