WHICH CRUISE SHIP VENUES DO YOU WANT TO WORK?

Curious about the types of venues you might be working in on cruise ships?  All of these venues need SMs/PMs, lighting, sound, a/v, and/or stage technicians.
 
On most cruise ships, of course, there’s shows in the main theatre.  These can range from full (but usually shortened) Broadway shows, to a variety of entertainers, to the ship’s crew last night gala.
 
Then there’s the ever-popular game shows.  These are typically either held in the main theatre or in the atrium.
 
The smaller venues – bars and night clubs - are usually used for karaoke, comedians, live music, lectures and so on, but they still need the lights brought up and the microphones turned on.  Sometimes these smaller acts are set up in hallways and other public areas.
 
Royal Caribbean ships also have ice skating shows and aqua shows, which are highly technical spectaculars in and of themselves.

Emma also includes a variety of activities in her list too, which typically the entertainment technicians are not responsible for running.  But, there are times when staff may be short, and staff from other departments are offered the positions if they’d like extra work, so it’s good to be aware of all of the venues and activities on board your ship.
