![]() How much can you earn working on a cruise ship? The pay may differ from what you may be paid working at a theatre on land, but remember, this is because you’re also getting your room, meals, utilities and other expenses provided for you. So, unless you go on a crazy spending spree when you get into port – you’ll be storing away most of your wages for a later time. I posted about tech wages back in 2023, which you can see here: https://www.cruisetechies.com/cruisetechies-blog/job-types-and-wages But here’s an update.

![]() It seems there’s a lot of crazy things going on in the world these days. Not to get into the politics of it all, but a friend recently told me about a friend who lives with their family in one country, but is afraid they are going to be sent back to their own country where there is a lot of unrest (to put it lightly). She wondered whether it might be a good idea for her friend to get a job on a cruise ship, rather than go back to his country. Of course, I can’t give any advice in that department, but, as you know, cruise ships hire people from all over the world, so I provided her with some cruise ship options, which I’m going to provide here for you too, in case you, or anyone you know may be in the same boat. First, here’s a freebie for you. ![]() No, that’s not a cruise ship behind my son and I. It’s the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. But, it’s as long as, if not longer than, a cruise ship, at 1560', and you definitely get your steps in! No blog post today, because I’m in Houston for the FIRST Robotics Annual World Championship. My son was in robotics throughout high school, and is now a team mentor. As for me, I rose up through the volunteer ranks and am now a Judge Advisor. As my other son says, I got a raise from $0 to $00! I’ll be back next week with more cruise ship theatre job news!

It may seem easier to just let the cruise line do it, and sometimes it’s seems like that’s a good deal (for instance, Norwegian often have ‘2nd passenger flies free’ offers).

Would you like to have the most life changing experience on a ship? This isn’t about cruise ships, but about very unique and admirable ships; Mercy Ships. Mercy Ships are hospital ships that are filled with state-of-the-art medical equipment and a volunteer crew of medical professionals who are “driven by mercy” to help make the world a better, healthier place for all. Globally, 5 billion people lack access to safe surgery, and since over 50% of the world’s population lives near a coast, Mercy Ships are the best way to reach people in need. But where do you come in? How do theatre technicians fit into the world of operating theatres? ![]() Have you cruised in the past?
