ENTERTAINING ON A CRUISE SHIP... the Ultimate Guide

Talk about finding treasure on the high seas... I have recently had the opportunity and the pleasure of receiving an advanced copy of Paul Romhany's very soon-to-be released book (mid-January 2009). This book's working title is: "Entertaining on a Cruise Ship, the Ultimate Guide". Truly, it "is" an ultimate guide... and an unburied treasure! I found this book to be a great read and (more importantly), I also found it to be a highly valuable resource for any magicians that seek to break into (and succeed at) the business of entertaining on cruise ships. Not only is this 270 page book well-written and chock-full of insider information on how to secure well-paying work on cruise ships, there are tons of facts about ships and ship life and details about day-to-day life as a Guest Entertainer on a ship (the good times ... and the not-so-good times). Plus, in a further effort to share the richness that a career in cruise ship entertainment might offer, Romhany has included beautiful photos from around the world, and even excerpts from his very own personal journal --which draw the reader into this fascinating world and illustrates the author's very own life on board ship in ways which most other authors might not be willing (able) to share. In addition, Romhany has included up-to-date web addresses, a glossary of ship terms and cruise ship contact information that will surely accelerate the learning curve for those that have the true spark, desire, and talent to pursue launching their career as a successful cruise ship entertainer. For more seasoned entertainers, this guide should also prove both interesting and informative. With more than 20 years of experience and knowledge gained both on land and while entertaining audiences afloat, Paul Romhany has created a wonderful resource and story-telling guide. In short --Great read, informational, and inspirational!
