​Ahoy there! 

Welcome to the CruiseTechies blog! 
Whether you’ve been on a cruise ship or not, you’ve likely seen adverts for all of the spectacular shows that they offer.  Which means…they have theatres.  Which means…those theatres need to be staffed by theatre technicians.  Which means… cruise lines are always on the lookout to hire good techies.  Which means... the cruise industry is a great career option for you!  You get to travel the world while doing a job you love!  
​How cool is that!
But, what is it like to work on a cruise ship?  You can easily search “jobs on cruise ships”, but where can you find information specifically about what it’s like to be a theatre tech on a cruise ship. You don’t want to sign up for a multi-month contract, only to find it’s not for you on your first day at sea.
 
That’s where the CruiseTechies blog can help you!  Here you will find a plethora of information about which cruise lines hire theatre techs and how best to contact them, how much experience is needed to apply for a tech theatre job on a cruise ship, what parts of the world you can travel in, how long of a contract do you have to commit to, as well as lots of information about the type of tech theatre jobs cruise lines hire for – for instance, some cruise ship theatres have a dedicated Stage Manager, and some expect the tech crew to share that role.  On some ships lighting technicians are expected to run sound, and sound technicians are expected to run lights.  If you're comfortable only with your specialty, this is definitely something you'd need to check out!
 
In the CruiseTechies blog you will also find interviews with many theatre technicians already traveling while working on board cruise ships.  You’ll learn what it’s like to work on board a cruise ship; from what your cabin would be like, to whether you’ll have a roomie, to what your work hours are, to what your meals are like, to how much time you get off to go ashore whilst in ports, to tips on what to do while in port, to… just what is it like trying to hang lights in a theatre that is constantly moving!
