Our House Band Musicians are expert musical shapeshifters, able to transition seamlessly from supporting produced signature Princess Production Shows to headliner-style Guest Entertainers in our theaters and lounges. Our House Bands also provide unique live music experiences for our guests in themed events arranged specifically for our instrumentation, and in high-level improvised jazz catering to an array of tastes.

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.

All of our House Band Musicians are expected to:

• 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;
• Join into a shared cabin with one other teammate;
• Attend regular trainings and meetings as part of life onboard;
• 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;
• Reimbursements on certain baggage/travel costs;
• Company-provided travel to and from the assigned vessel (subject to visa and legal considerations, through select major airports);
• Company-provided accommodations when traveling to the assigned vessel (subject to scheduling needs); and
