This question is merely another way for the interviewer to ask about your desired pay for this role. Be honest about what you are hoping to make, but you should also avoid asking for too little, or for too much. Using an online salary calculating tool, like the ones from Glassdoor or Indeed, will help you to determine the average ask for your position. You can also use your current salary as part of the basis for your ask.

"I am currently earning 15/hour plus travel benefits and a robust health care plan. I am up for a raise to 17/hour in the next couple of months. My ideal salary is 17-19/hour plus health and travel benefits, which I believe is a fair ask for this role."

"I am newer to my career, so I performed some research on the topic, hoping to gain an understanding of the average pay for service staff on a cruise line. The ranges I saw were 14-18/hour depending on experience. Is this in line with what V.Ships Leisure offers for this role?"
