How does a dishwasher make tips?

Only waiters get their share from the tips. I've spoken to waiters (mostly filipino) during a cruise and the $50 monthly excluding tips is real.

I made a typo in my above comment. As a dishwasher, you get $450/month - fixed and without tips.

That's more plausible.

I assume also room and board are "free".

Yeah they're included.
