What are the tax laws regarding income earned on a ship?
Tax is not taken out of your income unless you are a US citizen.

How do I get paid?
You will be paid in cash (usually every two to four weeks) unless you specify for your earnings to be deposited into a bank account. There will also be certain days where you can have the option of taking a portion of your pay in cash, rather than receiving it in one lump sum to avoid carrying wads of cash around on the ship.
