CRUISE LINE ENTERTAINER JOBS |
|
Cruise lines look for general public appeal when hiring acts. Entertainment directors receive up to twenty media packs (taped audition materials, plus photos, profiles, and background information) daily. Those with a highly professional act stand
the best chance of landing a job. Comedians need good material for three thirty-minute sets. Vocalists need a proven routine with music sheets for the orchestra. Cruise lines are willing to work with talent and fit entertainers into their programming schedule. Some cruise lines and concessionaire companies travel around the country auditioning talent, so it's a good idea to periodically check to see if talent scouts are going to be in you area.
Entertainers are also advised to document their acts on VHS tape and send it to entertainment directors or concessionaires as part of their media packs. Contracts vary. They could be as short as the duration of one cruise, or they could be for many months. Pay also varies, depending on the cruise line. In a few cases, entertainers do not receive a salary at all. Instead, they are given free passage in a deluxe stateroom in return for performing. Expedition Guide Jobs >>> |
