I was saying we really don't know what or how crew are paid and why should we worry about it. The grats are included in the fare or they are not either way, don't stress about it.
So that implies P&O Australia pay their crew better than Princess, Celebrity, Royal, Azamara, Carnival, HAL, Norwegian. Le Ponant and the rest.
Not sure this claim can be verified.
Perhaps gratuities are just included in the fare, so we don't have to worry about it.
Agree about the all aboard time being 10.30pm for a 11pm departure.
I would think that checking in would be normal operating hours, I.e 11pm to 5pm. Maybe check with the Hawaii port of call boards
