Ive never done it, but sounds like fun if you get it.

How many songs do you need todo that? How is it paid? Im guessing you must get accommodation and food as well.

Good luck. Keep away from the drunk girls, or not. ha

Haha, rich drunk girls ^_^

Accommodation and food is provided and its tax free.
I guess 2 sets would be enough to have under your belt
Think its about 2200$ per month

Sounds cool. I'd load up on music to take along though. If theres no internet available on the, which I'm guessing there is but still, I'd want to have plenty to stay amused with.

Ummm. Have I missed something? You are on a boat. Miles out to sea. Being paid to play. And the boat just happends to be full of slightly drunk girls.

Stuff the internet!

Unless, you end up on one of those oldies boats full of 80+ year olds on their twilight memory tours. In which case, jump ship and use ya guitar to swim to safety. Where you, run into a island full of hot chicks....

Arrrrr. there is a strange theme going on here.

Unsure I know the difference (?)

I googled "interwebz" and got "slang for the internet".

Isn't the internet just amusement and therefore music obtained via the internet "music to be amused with" ?

Anyway, back to my 2 minutes noodles. O, btw. Went fishing today. Caught myself lunch for tommorrow. Nice.

lmfao. Wow. I meant that if the ship didn't have inter(webz)net, that he should take along a bunch of music. Even if you don't have internet, there's still electricity. Well, being they can hire musicians, I would HOPE they have electricity. Good job on the fish too haha.

Dude, totally DO IT. And then tell us how it was! LOL! I'd sure like to know what being paid to be in a cruise ship is like.
