Here’s her ‘Day in the Life of a Sound Technician’ vlog. And I’m sure the same thing goes of lighting techs and stage managers. Check it out at:

 While these vlogs aren't specifically about working in theatres, they do give you some idea of what it's like to be living on a cruise ship....  I have yet to discover another blog like this one that is devoted specifically to theatre technicians working on cruise ships, however I have come across some bloggers/vloggers who have at least devoted one post/episode to the subject. Kudos to them!!
Below are some I've come across so far. I'm not officially endorsing any of these bloggers/vloggers, I don't know them, however I thought their information was worth passing on to you! (In no particular order, just as I find them.) Keep checking back, as I'll update this post as I find more... Plus - please let me know if you find any you'd recommend! Here we go....
INTERVIEWS WITH CRUISE SHIP TECHNICIANS
This isn’t a technician I personally interviewed, but I came across her article and wanted to share it with you. Megan started her job on a cruise line straight out of college, at age 23. You can read about her experiences here: https://www.theatreartlife.com/lifestyle/onboard-cruise-ship-entertainment-technician/  Have you ever wondered what the difference is between all of the cruise ships? It won’t necessarily make a difference to your work in the theatre, but it’s good to have an understanding of the size. classifications of the ships. Here’s a sampling:  Ahoy there! Welcome to the CruiseTechies blog! Whether you’ve been on a cruise ship or not, you’ve likely seen adverts for all of the spectacular shows that they offer. Which means…they have theatres. Which means…those theatres need to be staffed by theatre technicians. Which means… cruise lines are always on the lookout to hire good techies. Which means... the cruise industry is a great career option for you! You get to travel the world while doing a job you love! How cool is that! |

HELLO FROM BETH Hello! I’m Beth, the owner of PRESETT - online courses on
high school theatre management. As well as cruising around high school theatres, I also love traveling the world on cruise ships. I have been cruising on cruise ships since I was a kid. Nowadays, whenever I cruise, I invariably pop my head into the theatre’s booth to chat with the techs. And that’s how this blog was born. Read about my travels, and find out what career options are open to theatre techies on board cruise ships! COMMENT POLICY
