How is entertainment hired for cruise ships?

Question

I am interested in booking a band to perform on a cruise ship - just want to know how it is done and is it worthwhile. Thanks

Answer 1

i heard they get paid really really well, carnival holds auditions in LA for dancers i auditioned made it and never went. i guess i just got a lil scared of a huge life changing experience.

Answer 2

Most companies hold auditions for their entertainment.  The jobs are usually for 6-8 month lengths and include bed and board.  (At least this is what we were told on one of our cruises.)

Answer 3

Go on line to  the desired cruise line and you can locate the hiring through them. It wtells you what they are looking for and the base pay.

Answer 4

You have two options.  Go to each cruise lines web site and click on Human resources/jobs or whatever link they show for employment.  Or check out this cruise line jobs web site:
