Cruise ship entertainers reveal juicy secrets from sea
A number of cruise ship entertainers including comedians, pianos players and more have revealed the juicy details of what really happens at sea after they’re finished performing. The result of the startling confessions has become an interesting insight into what happens at sea.
The job
It ranges from ship to ship, and depends on what you’re doing. Piano players usually work on contracts, pounding out sweet melodies every night on contracts as long as six months at a time. Comedians on the other hand are generally guest entertainers, maintaining a land-based career when between cruises, and hopping on stage once or twice during a week-long cruise.
The money
Again, this varies depending on what sort of a performer you are. Comedians are reportedly mostly in it for the travel, with the money being a lucrative bonus to the gig. Piano players on cruises are reportedly all about the money. One performer said he had earned enough in his six years at sea to “not have to do a lick of work” for another six years, with the tip jar making a huge difference.
Sex
One anonymous entertainer working for an unnamed cruise liner was reportedly encouraged to “mix with the ladies” during his time on the boat. Many of the entertainers revealed information about “cruise groupies” and said they were just another hazard (or perk) of the job.
What they really think of passengers
The unanimous opinion among the entertainers who were talked to was that passengers could become a bit tiresome after a while, and were “simply there to fill the tip jar on the piano”. Others spoke of rude cruise ship passengers and hecklers, with some even exchanging harsh words!
