There are a few things I've thought it would be fun to do at least once with music. Performing on a cruise was one of them. My sax player has done several of these and says its not so bad, though some are better than others.

Given the comments from him and several threads over the years on this topic I've concluded...

1) It really has to fit your situation like a glove to work well...

2) As much as you have contracts and understandings in place, by & large you're at the mercy of the various cruise companies.

3) Probably not for me...
