Sorry I posted this before in the wrong section......
I am starting on the Carnival Paradise and I'm wondering about what privilages the showband musos get. Also wondering about the shows and whether there are headliners on that ship. (I love headliner shows!) I ask because I did three ships with RCCL and since I started in 2005, I've noticed a dramatic drop in onboard privilages for musicians.
Hey alclarke - I'm afraid I can't help! I hope someone comes along who knows.
I'm interested, though, what kind of drop in onboard privileges?
Well, when I started in 2005, orchestra members could go to the Windjammer as long as they paid $2 and wore blacks and name tag. They could also use the Schooner Bar as long as they didn't sit at the bar. Now musicians need to ask the MD for permission to go to the Windjammer and the MD has to get the musician's name onto 'a list'! Schooner Bar is off limits to musicians. A mate who recently retired after 25 years told me about the days when the musicians had dinner every night at the dining room.
