@Melissa – My classification here has nothing to do with whether or not singers are musicians. Of course singers are musicians.

But on cruise ships singers get paid $1000/week and get their own cabins and the musicians get paid $400/week and have to share a cabin. They are two distinct categories of performers to the cruise ship corporate office, and that’s all I’m talking about.

A very informative post, however, I take great offense at your use of “singer” juxtaposed with “musician” when I really think you are trying to differentiate between the terms “vocalist/singer” and “instrumentalist”. While I can’t speak for all of my vocal colleagues, a lot of us have worked very, very hard to earn the title of musician, and I find your classification incredibly ignorant. I am first and foremost an artist, second a musician, and third a vocalist.

On the blog at http://www.nickrevel.com/2009/09/08/cruise-ship-jobs/ a band got away with a musician who couldn’t play an instrument and the person got by just playing open chords.

I wouldn’t go that far into being preferred for housing on a cruise ship ;) but I can’t see what difference it would make if your partner was a musician as well as you or not.

Greetings David,

I’m a drummer and my fiance bartends. We both live and work in NYC, but are checking into the possibility of working on a cruise ship together. Sounds like we might be considered a different housing “group” I guess. Did you ever hear of a musician rooming w/a non-musician/singer? (i.e. their significant other)?

Thanks,
Brian
