Yeah I don’t get the dig against cruise ship gigging. I’m tempted to say something like it’s a decent gig for a young person but even my esteemed major-orchestra achieving tenured college prof had a week’s gig on a cruise ship each winter that he looked forward to as a kind of working vacation. For musicians and entertainers, work is work and as you say there’s far worse out there; the sadness of someone working something that’s not their dream while it slips away probably happens far more in your local venues than on cruise ships.
