Happy Jack Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Then I'd be 11 ... probably a tad young for this gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I was on a Caribbean cruise some years ago and got chatting to the young bassist in the 'house' band. He reckoned he was having a whale of a time. The pay wasn't astronomical but he was loving it, said he'd recommend it to anyone. See the world for free and get paid to play bass, what's not to like. If only I was 30 years younger etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 The daft thing is, most of the passengers on a cruise ship are much more likely to be in their 50s than their 20s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends when you go, I thought that before we did our first, we will be on our third this year and another booked for next year. In the summer holidays the average age is 30s-40s with kids on the ones we have been on. There are some older people but a lot of them are part of larger family groups. I would imagine ones in May and October are more like what you suggest though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPJ Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 When I worked cruise ships, there were musical acts on there of all ages. Young and old in the house show band(s), jazz trios and musical duos with folk in their 50s-60s and one fella in one group celebrated his 70th on the ship. You need to be fit to an extent you can launch a life boat or raft (for your own sanity) and you just need to be free of everyday life demands. If you can pick up and go for 3-6 months with no repercussions, then why not. There are worse jobs ;). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkyjimbob Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I am based in Cardiff and finish my current contract in December 2018... Unfortunately I am 34 so a few years over your required age bracket! I act like one though if that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I did this once and hated it. I know people who do it and love it. It's definitely worth trying. I was well paid, and the only time I had to spend money was when I went sightseeing on shore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
