some of the ads in the papers are scams. Have a look at this link.

hey dan have u had any luck look at employment agencies by ringing them because websites arent that reliable?

 

give me an update about how your going

[DanFromSyd]

Hey Lulu,

 

I havent had time as yet.

Ive decided to ask around on the ship in Jan.

And when I come back ill look into it.

Basically there is a money issue. Its kinda weirdI dont want to pursue it if it doesnt offer as much cash as im looking for.

I cant get a straight answer on what they pay.

 

Perhaps you can confirm.

do you receive payment in US dollars tax free?

A lot of the information i have gathered seems to be US related.

 

Thanks,

Dan

no i get paid in australian dollars

[DanFromSyd]

Is it tax free?

[lulu_6622]

nop

i wish it was!!

lol

[DanFromSyd]

hey lulu,

 

since its the internet and completely annonymous can you perhaps give a range of what the pays are liek for the entertainment staff?

 

I dont want to get all excited thinking about it if its way off where i need to be..

 

if you dont want to tell i understand. and please dont be offended by my questions.. Im a straight up pull no punches kind of guy.

 

Thanks,

 

Dan

ok

 

entertains get from $1800 to $2400 a month but its depends on the contract and how long your at sea for a time. and considering you get all your food and lodge for nothing its actually alot better than land jobs. plus theres the added bonuses and things about cheaper fares for family after a certian point and things like that too.

[DanFromSyd]

Thanks lulu

 

so as a DJ i could expect similar money?

 

Thanks heaps

Dan

[lulu_6622]

i dont know bout that soz but it should be around that amount i would assume or perhaps abit less no offence becasue they dont do as many activities as entertainment staff

[DanFromSyd]

HEY its not as easy as it looks!!!

 

Its ok no offence taken..

You woudlnt believe how many people reckon its the easiest job going around.. until you tell them to do it and they go.. hey its not as easy as it looks!

 

Cheers,

Dan

[lulu_6622]

i know theres all that listening to the next one whilst trying to play the first one the finding a suitable play list.

but you only work from lyk 8:30 to 1:00

lol

[DanFromSyd]

who finishes at 1???

 

usually 3am...

when we were cruising on the Sky they were open till 3am

 

and getting everyone up dancing isnt the easiest thing to do..

 

but hey i would still rather be doing that then the floor shows you guys do.

[DanFromSyd]

Hey Lulu,

 

I worked all weekend Dj'ing... more spending money for my cruise!!

 

Hows thing with you?

Dan

[lulu_6622]

excellent!

i'm completely enjoying my break waking up half way through the day and watching disney movies to fill in time!

i love those things.:D

shopping im so use to having the same clothes all the time

and ive got so much energy because i dont have to dance all the time even though its the best time.

i went to my old dancing schools concert on saturday night it was so good i wish i was still there. such fun times. buut the beauty of working with P&O is that they happen every night and not just once a year!
