Fun Squad report to the Cruise Director, and Sports Staff reports to the Sports Manager. Content Managers report directly to the Entertainment Director.

All Fun Squad, Sports and Content Manager positions will be accommodated in a double-occupancy cabin which includes bunk beds, closet, desk, TV and bathroom (shower, sink, cabinet, toilet). The cabins also have plugs for charging electronics and reading lights over the beds. The cabin is cleaned once a week by a member of the housekeeping team.

Your uniform will be provided to you onboard. It is your responsibility to keep it in presentable condition and to take it with you for future contracts. You will be responsible for providing your own daytime sneakers (red for Sports and Fun Squad, and white for Content Managers) and your own black or tan formal wear shoes.

Entertainment Team Members will be expected to attend various drills and onboard training and department meetings. You will also perform essential safety functions such as gangway crowd control and water shuttle operations.

No, but you will receive time off each day to relax and often extended time on port days to explore the ports of call.
