High or low expenses are part of life as well as paying taxes! So you could chose to save or budget even with these matters. Remember, life is about choices, good or bad, and If we are old enough to make choices than we are certainly able to live with our decisions and/or consequences.

Yes, I can relate to the expense of places like Hawaii, Japan, etc. as a former Navy officer. When I first started as an Ensign I made $8,900 per year. Four years later as a Lieutenant it was $16,000. We weren’t getting rich back in the late 1970s-early 80s. BTW you have a pleasant voice. Keep up the good work.

Wow! U prob the 1st one being this honest sharing your pay 👏. I wanted to work on this ship but it was available. I got offer a position with the Joy when it was about to debut, but the pay was too low as a Customer Service rep desk so I had to decline. The pay was before tax and I won't make enough for the US tax with all the work hr.
@becfurness8597 Місяць тому
I was in a customer service role 20 years ago on Norwegian Majesty and Norwegian Sea (both now not part of the fleet). I remember I got $990 a month. I hardly spent any of it because I was good at saving and if I wanted the occasional drink at the crew bar they were $1 each for either a beer or a vodka cruiser type drink.

My wife and I sailed on the Pride of America May 2022 for our anniversary, and it was a wonderful experience. We enjoyed the live shows every night in the theater, and all the performers are first class broadway entertainers. A lot of fun things to do on the ship with great excursions in every Hawaiian port. The Pride of American is a beautiful ship, and our memories sailing through the Hawaiian Islands will last a lifetime.

So basically that's around 7500-9000 a month if u worked at a non cruise type of job and had 4200 a month saved after those living expenses. That's like 90-108k a year. Nice!

I wonder if you have the ability to claim your home state as your residence and then let them tax you based on that rate. I would pick something like NV or TX if you had an address there you could use as they dont have a state income tax. It seems taxing you HA rates just because the ship is there doesn’t seems correct. So if you worked on an international ship maybe you would get a lot of your income tax free since you’re technically not in the US for most of the year??
@robertlong7723 6 місяців тому
Check your tax laws. Generally, your income is taxed in the state income is earned (unless neighboring states have reciprocal tax agreements). You don't get to pick a "home" state. US Citizens are subject to US income tax with a credit for any foreign taxes paid. Tax free income?... keep dreaming.

Do you put aside money for retirement? Does the company have a 401k or anything you can join?
@krista.jocelyn 9 місяців тому
I have a separate retirement account. Since we are hired contractually they don’t do 401k for performers 😰

Thanks for the video. I just got thru my medical and got a little care package from the company welcoming me to the poa team. Looking forward to going on my first contract. Can't believe I'll get to get paid to see the islands! Quick question. I read in the packet they sent me about the dress code when off duty, I was made to believe I couldn't wear t-shirts, jeans, sneakers or hats. But now I see your coworker and I wanted to make sure If that's the case or not. Thank you in advance!
@krista.jocelyn Рік тому
Yay! So excited for you! Mmm thats odd...When off duty and off the ship you can wear whatever you want (as long as it's appropriate when getting on and off the ship since guests will still see you.) Maybe the packet was referring to off duty on the ship? That's new to me!

Hi! I’m 18 and got hired on as an Assistant waiter! This was abt a month ago that I accepted my offer and I m still waiting on Anderson Kelly, just resending in signed documents. How long did your MMC medical, and then to Training take for you? Are you still on the POA how’s it going?

Too bad they don't go with Florida wages where we don't have to pay a state employment tax. Hawaii is possibly one of the highest in the country.

Are the Asian and African performers (from developing countries) getting paid way less? I heard the pay was 1800 - 2100$ per month 😂
@krista.jocelyn 8 місяців тому
If they are employed as production cast they get paid a US salary so the same as anyone in the cast regardless of where they are from!

Thank you very much for the insights. Could you please suggest some companies that were most likely to hire non-local artists? Due to the economic situation globally, I could understand that companies/agencies might prefer artists who were currently located in the countries, hence I wonder. @@krista.jocelyn

Being you are just docked in Hawaii, why do they consider you living there? You're just a visitor. So if you dock in Canada do they take money out of your pay? Or Alaska?
@krista.jocelyn 9 місяців тому
It’s because it’s a US flagged ship so you are technically working only in the US and have to pay tax to the state. If we were sailing to Canada or even Alaska, the ship would have an international flag. I would still pay tax to my home state in Colorado as I am there part of the year. The POA is the only American flagged cruise ship in the world!

@@emmib1388 When you work as a seafarer, you are paid without any tax or national insurance being deducted. This is because cruise ships and other vessels employ their crew from all over the world, so it is up to each individual seafarer to declare their income to their country.

You should really have a better understanding of the taxes you are paying. Of the taxes withheld, you are paying 7.5% in FICA/Medicare just like every other American. At your income level, Hawaii state income taxes should be 7-8%. Are you having too much withheld for federal taxes? Did you get a refund on your federal income tax return? Do realize that federal tax withholding can be adjusted through a W-4 form.
