​Captain Kate McCue is the first female cruise ship captain, and worked several Royal Caribbean ships for the past 22 years.  Well, she’s just accepted a new position on Four Seasons Yachts.
 
And, while smaller yachts have more ‘venues’ than theatres… they’re hiring entertainment techs! 

Are you a tech theatre teacher, or do you know a tech theatre teacher? The month of May, is NCL’s nominate a teacher for a free cruise month!

And…that’s not all…did you know…

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.
