Bedroom stewards are some of the most important employees onboard cruise ships. They are responsible for making beds, cleaning rooms, turning down passengers' sheets at night, and for honoring special requests of passengers. One of the most physically demanding jobs on board, several employees told us it took a couple of weeks to get used to making beds for hours at the time. On the other hand, if you like working on your own, with little direct supervision, this may be the job for you. Many ships prefer to hire bedroom stewards from developing countries, but these jobs are available for Americans on several lines. Income is above average with a high percentage coming from tips.
