Thanks Mark. Your Cruise Gig Vlog is very interesting and informative. I admire your work. You do a great job. Keep it up and take care…
Excellent VLOG!
This will definately help people understand whats involved with this type of gig.
A MUST see for anyone thinking of trying for cruise dhip work. You sir, are a real pro!

Enjoyed your VLOG. I’ve taken many cruises over the last 30 years and have often wondered what it would be like to play on one. Being with the same group for 50 years, always thought that a whole group was hired. Your Vlog explains a lot, like when I see band members, they are usually eating alone in the buffet late at night, and the interaction on stage isn’t as close. And you answered the big question about what the living quarters could be like.
Thanks for the insight, I’ll have a whole new respect for the musicians on my next cruise this fall, which is Spain and Portugal. BTW, I love your courses, wish I had them when I was starting out, this old dog is learning new tricks!
Absolutely insightful. Magnificent! Thank you. 👍
I replayed for my husband the section where you listed all the personal habits that would cause you to NOT want to be on a cruise (or why the cruise wouldn’t want you). I was laughing so hard! If you are annoying, don’t aim for a cruise. Hilarious!
