Bruce I see what you mean, but from a passenger's point of view even with P&O's lower recommended rates, two people giving a room steward £6+ a day multiplied by maybe 20 cabins works out to £3,600 a month, seems an awful lot of money to me, + whatever wages are received is more than I have ever earned & that is before taxation! We have no idea who if anyone he shares it with or if it just goes in a big pot to be shared out anyway.
