I know someone posted about this a while ago, but does anyone have more info on gigging with a cruiseline? I am available from January to the end of summer, so I'm trying to find something. Not much luck yet . . . Any suggestions on who to talk to?

There's a company called proship, you can google them.

A company also posts on backpage classifieds, I don't know which one.

A note: I did this life for 5 years, and if you're prepared to loose all your working contacts, loose touch with family and friends, perform with less than stellar musicians, and drink away your struggles, then by all means contact the above. A friend just released a video about cruise ship life. You can watch it here:

This is a great resource because some of the interviewed are musicians (three, and I know them personally).

Anyway, if this sounds like your cup of tea, have fun, get drunk, see the world, but don't lose your mind or your focus.

Kind Regards
