My schedule this week is a little askew because we’ve just come back from a break and need extra rehearsals, but after things settle down, this will be the schedule:
Monday:
10:00 AM – 1 to 1.5 hour rehearsal
7:30 PM – 1 hour performance
9:30 PM – 1 hour performance
Wednesday:
10:00 AM – 1 to 1.5 hour rehearsal
7:30 PM – 1 hour performance
9:30 PM – 1 hour performance
Friday:
7:30 PM OPTIONAL – Perform 1 song in farewell show (15 minute commitment)
TOTAL: 7.25 hours of work
I’m the organizer for the rest of the group I perform with, so there is some phone time, email and other organizing that I do during the week that adds up to perhaps 1 to 2 additional hours a week.
The rest of the time is free. There is a gym, 3 pools, 4 hot tubs, a few television stations and, of course, our ports of call to spend my time in. I’m considering looking into correspondence courses from Berklee as well.
very helpful thanks. i have an acoustic guitar & percussion duet that covers classic & folk rock, country, r & b and spanish favorites. any hints about lounge groups?
Hey David! This is an AMAZING site, and I really like every detail of information you put up. Incredibly informative! I have a question about down-time on ships. I’m a singer, and though I realize that I’ll be performing 3-5 times a week, performing music that’s “inside the box,” however lucrative that may be, isn’t going to improve my chops any. Is there a time or place where it’s okay to practice? A time when the lounge is closed or something? Maybe jam with the pianist a bit? Thanks for your help!

Hi Jessica!
Thank you, I’m so glad you find the site useful. Have a look around – we’ve built a really comprehensive site over the years.
As for practice, see this excerpt from this article:
