This is the 'job' where you don't actually get 'paid', right ?

"Pay for photographers on a cruise ship is almost entirely commissioned based. Which means, the quality of the photo and how eager passengers are to purchase pictures are factors that determine pay. It is for this reason successful photographers are those that up-sell their photos and encourage passengers. As you can imagine getting people excited to take pictures and excited about purchasing pictures suits an extroverted personality.
A number of the most successful cruise ship photographers are those that have a lot of energy and like speaking with, and encouraging the ship's clientele."

Do the 'ships photographer' operate a referral scheme or something ? I think this is the third identical thread we've had on the subject.

Might be a bit of a value-add if the OP gave a brief account of his experiences onboard, including maybe some details as to how this comission thing worked out for him.

"DeaNo" sounds like he still has his commission hat on in this thread.
