kopiracu ti svoju placu s msc od pocetka kad sam dosla od novembra s crossing uzeli smo 2278 $  poslacu ne znam odakle si uzeo te informacije da cristian i njegova djevojka su otisli na nasu radost

well how is it on Fantasia

i asked in the office what is gonna hapen if someone makes a transfer like u did and what about the money that the first ship keep for travel costs and this is what they said:
" when someone makes a transfer like u did, the money kept a side for a flght ticket on the ship where u are coming from (+400 USD) are given back with the first salary on the transfered ship ."
u can not see the added money for flight ticket taken from u before on the payslip on the new ship, only the total amount.

during the crossing 17/18 days the commission was around EUR 180/190  

So A*** the payslip u have has the added money that MSC took from u on Lirica in case u go home earlier. one person thay writes all the commisions for each cruise and he is still there said he wants to bet with u about  the total amount(salary + commision) for the month u are mentioning. And yes the manager u mentioned is going home in a week time. Please dont mention names. Pozdrav

upravu si u dosta toga ali ipak vecina nas je na brodu zbog para i nebi se slozila s tim da samo splendida, preziosa, divina zaraduju ja sam bila na lirici gdje sam zaradivala 1800 eura na mjesec sad saam u africi gdje jos bolje da splendida je za januar uzela 3000 eura ali ipak 1800 za mene nije lose mozda za tebe jeste, mada nesto sumnjam da se ovaj iznos zaraduje na princess ako da ja cu odmah da se prijavim  

The main reason i stayed so long on MSC were the money, but if a person stays for a long period of time onboard (i also mean the repeating contracts) u get fed up with the bullshits over there.

I always calculate average income for the duration of the all contract (6 months or now minimum 8), not like wow this month i took a lot of money and the rest of the months its not even close enough. Maybe some months the money will be good(minimum 1400eur) but the next few months it can go low as 750/900eur.

African season this year is really bad on MSC Opera compared to the previous. Maybe u are on MSC Sinfonia but in general the season is worse compared to the last.
The commission is fixed in South Africa 2,5% this season 2013/2014.  
In 7 days (maybe 2 cruises in 7 days period) the shop assistant commission was 200/250 dollars.
In total with the salary (780 dollars) maybe after converting them in Euros is around 1200.
The average working hours per week is 70 (70x4=280 working hours per month /1200 euro's total income per month = average 4,3 euro's per hour )

I have worked on a ship class Musica , Fantasia and Lirica class and its worse then before, a lot of new embarked people without any experience.
The experienced people that maybe i didn't like to hang around after work but really really good workers left MSC because of the many bullshits over there.
I got info from some colleagues from Brazil and they are saying that the money are not like before.
MSC Poesia did usd 1500 for the month of December 2013 (salary plus commission) a month that should be the best in the whole season.

A new person on MSC that used to work for starboard, Mr David, head of the MSC shop division is implementing most of the things from Starboard, also the salaries and commissions will be under supervision.

On Princess for example after working 5/10/15/20 years for the company the person gets some attention from the company such as a photo with the captain , some small gifts (doesn't matter what its the gesture itself is important), dinner with the captain etc...

Many colleagues that used to work as a shop attendants for RCCL, Princess, NCL are saying MSC is the worst place they have been, maybe slightly better then Costa but still way behind any other company. The money on MSC could be 200eur plus compared to the other companies, but could be if u are on a ship that is making some money.

Crew parties on MSC are made only if the bar department is having a bad cruise and the company need some extra money from the crew or recently once in every 2/3 weeks.
The crew bar is closed earlier in order that the crew buy more expensive drinks in the bar dedicated for the crew party but located in the passenger area.


If i get the chance to choose between MSC and Princess, my choice will be Princess for many reasons.
The Italian companies, especially family owned doesn't care about the things at all, every manager, supervisor, officer is making their own rules on the way most of the times ignoring the standard procedure manual.
The companies such as Princess, RCCL are way further with the standards compared with MSC.
I don't like Greeks but one greek housekeeping manager that has more the 25 years experience onboard cruise ships (Princess, Royal just name it..) said "MSC doesn't know how to work with the people" and although i don't like Greeks, unfortunately, he was right.
For start, MSC could be a good choice, but as the time goes by i will leave the other people to say their opinion  

E pa ljudi ko ima iskustva da li moze da odgovori koja od ove dve kompanije je bolja..naravno vezano za shop department..Uzevsi u obzir uslove rada i primanja ostalo i nije toliko bitno...

Princess Cruises definitivno !!! 

Znaci sad vazi pravilo da se moze aplicirati samo putem agencije...dali netko moze baciti kako je na msc za rccl znam jer sam ja tamo ali me malo zanima kako je u drugim kompanijama....ali mi nije jasno da je msc tako brzo promijenila politiku jer koliko sam citao postove renii se ukrcala sad u augustu direktno preko kompanije i da su u dva mj sve to promijenili...

The new contracts started from August 20-th 2013, the same date when MLC (convention) came into force. I work on a MSC Ship with a colleague that used to worked for RCCL and she said "i thought that on RCCL was bad but i was not expecting this" . Francesca had her own way of doing the job, but the new person Simona which now is encharged for shops took the position start of October. Simona has a different way how things should be done and all the ships received the new instructions. cheers  

dali ima nekoj za Amsterdam 7 Maj - MSC Orchestra?
