Personally I have not known of a arranger keyboardist working on a cruise ship. Every once in a awile they have in town auditions in the Dallas area for cruise ship gigs, and they look for solo pianist, all and typical band instruments. That said I don't see any reason we a OMB guy couldn't get a gig on a cruise. Put together a good promo and see what happens.

Now my time time to brag- I played drums on a cruise ship for season when I was in college. Great gig, food, women, no worries. Just played music at night and played around the rest of the time. What a life!
