Classical Ensembles
Performance Schedule
The Classical Ensemble performs seven days a week. A typical
cruise line contract will stipulate the maximum number of hours
you are required to work weekly, usually between 35 and 42 hours.
The schedule is organized on a daily basis by the Cruise Director
and left to his/her discretion. In general, you will play in
one of the dining rooms at night as well as for some scheduled
activities during the day, such as embarkation, tea time, and
cocktail time. The Classical Ensemble may also be asked to perform
some 30 or 45 minutes concerts. There are no salary provisions
for overtime.
An example of a day's schedule may be:
* 2:00 to 3:00 pm : embarkation set
* 6:00 to 7:00 pm : cocktail set sets from
* 7:30 to 8:15 pm: dining room
* 9:00 to 9:45 pm: dining room
