Why do Crew HATE Musicians/Entertainment?

In today's episode, we discuss what it really takes to be a musician on cruise ships.  Working on cruise ships as a musician is very similar to working on land in terms of the business. In general, it isn't solely dependent on talent. We see this in mainstream entertainment all the time. Artists don't necessarily need an unbelievable amount of talent in order to create a name for themselves or create a career. Other variables such as personal branding, image, and ability to entertain play such a large factor in whether or not an artist/musician is able to succeed.   Musicians on cruise ships work at the mercy of the guests and operate under the entertainment department. Thus, everything depends heavily on reviews. Great musicians/artists are entertainers first. This isn't to say that the art/craft comes second, but they're able to know their limitations and use their strengths to entertain their audience. Have questions?
