Job Description
House Band Guitarists require solid sight-reading and chart-interpretation skills, and are able to deliver music across a variety of styles such as Jazz, Rock, Broadway, Latin, Pop, and Country. Our guitarists perform primarily on electric, but often bring a mix of solid-body, hollow-body, and/or acoustic guitars to suit their approach. Amps are provided and generally have onboard reverb, but pedalboards are generally required if a guitarist wishes to make use of a broader palette of effects. Ability to perform solo sets (either "Chord Melody"-style or with loops/tracks) is not required, but a valuable asset.

Perform on their instrument as scheduled by the Music Manager not more than 35 hours in a week, averaged not more than 5 hours per day, with performance schedules of 2-4 sets typical;
Dress professionally in "Theater Blacks" , tuxedo / formal attire, with other business casual attire available as-needed;

Take part in regular safety exercises and In-Port-Manning duties;
Enthusiastically engage with guests and teammates as part of live performances, on- and off-stage; and
Rehearse with the group and/or complete personal practice as-needed.
Benefits of performing with Princess Cruises include:
Flexible contract scheduling above 14 weeks;
Variety of itineraries and locations;
Negotiable starting salaries based on qualifications;
Eligibility for discounted cruise fares after one year of service;
Partial reimbursements on Seafarer's Medical Fitness Certificate costs;
