The Program:
Speaking on cruise ships is one of many speakers’ dream jobs. After all, you get to sail aboard luxurious ships to fabulous locations. And all you have to do is speak once or twice for 45 minutes. How great is that?
If only you could crack the code to how to get booked on these opulent liners. You’d get standing ovations in the packed ballrooms and be the highlight of the passengers’ voyage!
Right?
Getting booked on cruise ships isn’t as easy as it used to be. And guess what — in many cases you have to pay to get the job. And you may get an inside cabin, so no suite, let alone outside balcony.
There are good and bad parts to speaking on ships. Listen to the wisdom of a 23-year cruise director from a major cruise line. He gives you the inside scoop so you can decide if it’s right for you, and if it is, how to be successful speaking on ships.
You will learn:
- how to get booked — it’s not the way you think
- which are the most popular topics on cruises
- what to expect as an “enrichment lecturer”
- how you can get invited back
- what behavior will nearly get you thrown overboard
