Crew Members Get to Party for Cheap

There are rules against crew members partying too much, especially with guests, but it's not uncommon to see them unwinding and letting go just a bit. A large part of this has to do with just how much they work and how little they actually have to spend on drinks. They usually pay around $1 to $2 per drink. Compare that with passenger drinks which can set you back $10 or usually more, and it's not hard to see why crew members might be the life of the party.

Still, most cruise lines will have at least a couple of clauses in their contracts that dictate how much crew members can drink and how much they can interact with guests.
