Cruise Critic’s Top twelve cruise trends
Now that we've left 2011 in the dust, it's time to look ahead to what's going to be hot in 2012 -- and darned if two blasts from the past aren't among the more interesting cruise developments expected in the coming months. All eyes will be on the Mississippi, where two companies are looking to breathe new life into cruising on the Big Muddy -- one refurbishing an American icon, the other introducing its take on a classic sternwheeler. And, in April, the world will remember the 100th anniversary of the Titanic disaster with special cruises, a new museum and other events.

Refurbs, Not new-builds
Cruise lines continue to pour millions into upgrading older ships in lieu of building new ones. In 2012, Celebrity Cruises will send Celebrity Summit and Celebrity Millennium to the yard for $30-million-plus overhauls. The dry-docks will complete the line's $140 million initiative to retrofit older vessels with popular bars, restaurants and spa cabins introduced on the Solstice-class quartet. In a similar vein, three

Carnival Cruise Lines ships are scheduled for refurbs in the line's $500 million FunShip 2.0 program. Additions vary by ship but may include tequila and rum bars and a burger joint designed by celebri-cook Guy Fieri. Carnival will also "Aussify" Carnival Spirit; during a month-long surgery, the ship will be readied for its Down Under deployment with the addition of a huge, near-vertical waterslide and outdoor grill restaurant. Finally, Royal Caribbean will add popular venues from its game-changing Oasis-class ships to a trio of its older vessels. Specifics will be announced at a later date. New Cruise ships There's No Breaking That Cruise Ship Mold With some key exceptions, Cruise Critic's new-build chart for this year features second (Disney Fantasy, Oceania's Riviera), third (Carnival Breeze), fifth (Celebrity Reflection) and sixth (Germany's AIDAmar) ships in a class. Sure, there are somewhat substantial thematic, design and amenity changes on the docket for these sisters, but 2012's freshest design has to be American Cruise Line's 150-passenger Queen of the Mississippi, the first Big Muddy-based new-build to launch in some 15 years. The modern sternwheeler with Victorian aspirations will feature crystal chandeliers, dark wood paneling and enormous standard cabins. Viking River Cruises will intro the other new prototype, a 190-passenger "Longship" -- but it will churn out six nearly identical versions from March to August. Cabin-Stuffing: More rooms, Less space Cabin-stuffing is a troubling trend set to continue in 2012. Many lines have made a point of inserting extra cabins during refurbs, which adds capacity while necessarily subtracting available public space. Beyond a generally more crowded ship, the upped passenger count can put added pressure on popular public places like buffets. Sister ships Celebrity Millennium and Summit will both gain 60 cabins during 2012 refurbs, upping the double-occupancy figures from 1,950 to 2,070. Execs dismiss suggestions that crowding could be a problem and claim that ships are "under-capacitied," but industry-watchers call it what it is: Cabin-stuffing is all about added revenue. Australia: The New Mediterranean A few years ago, American-based lines like Celebrity, Holland America, Royal Caribbean and Princess decided that Europe was a fertile breeding ground for cruise development. As such, the lines deployed some of their bigger, more amenity-laden vessels to the Continent. It worked. American found that the Mediterranean was within reach on ships they loved -- but at prices much more affordable than in the past. In 2012, it's the same story, different continent. Australia's hot. As one of the world's fastestgrowing markets for cruising, Australia, which for years was served primarily by its homegrown P&O Australia and a few older models from companies like Princess Cruises and Holland America, will offer Cunard's Queen Mary 2, Carnival Spirit and Celebrity Solstice, among other blue-chip contemporary ships.

1. Super-Sized Ship Upgrades
Cruise lines are forging ahead with ambitious renovation projects, adding the most popular and innovative new-ship features across the fleet, and enhancing the onboard experience with exciting new venues. The most massive initiatives include:

Royal Caribbean International – Royal Advantage. Launched in 2011, this $300 million revitalization project will bring more Oasis-class dining & entertainment options across the entire fleet. The upgrades include more restaurants and dining experience, 3D movies, oversized LED video screens on the pool deck, new cabin design, and advanced onboard technology (including WiFi throughout the ships and digital wayfinding systems). Carnival Cruise Lines – Fun Ship 2.0. Carnival’s $500 million project features celebrity partnerships, new casual dining venues, and more entertainment options – rolling out on 16 ships. Food Network star Guy Fieri introduced Guy’s Burger Joint; comedian George Lopez now oversees the cruise line’s comedy club lineup; and Carnival has also joined forces with Hasbro, DJ IRIE, and AE Sports to create high-caliber, interactive entertainment. Celebrity Cruises –“Solsticize” Project – Celebrity continues to add the best of Solstice-class features to the fleet in 2012 with a $120 million upgrade to four Millennium-class ships. Guests can expect to find the quirky, interactive specialty restaurant, Qsine; an iLounge computer center; new suites; refreshed accommodations and more.

2. Ships Plug In to Save the Environment
Cruise ships typically berth for up to 11 hours, and an increasing number of cruise ports are now allowing ships to “plug in” to shoreside power while at the dock. Several cruise lines have already made the green switch by retrofitting their ships to take advantage of this option. When these vessels connect to the city’s electrical grid instead of running onboard engines powered by high-sulfur diesel fuel, the result is zero air emissions and a healthier environment. Juneau was the first port to offer this first-of-its-kind technology in 2001, followed by Seattle, Vancouver, San Francisco and San Diego. Los Angeles got onboard in 2011. This year, New York City’s Brooklyn Cruise Terminal will invest $15 million to provide shore power, making it the first east coast port to use shoreside power. Expect more East Coast and Gulf ports to adapt the technology, followed by ports in Europe.

3. Private-Access Suites Create a “Ship Within a Ship”
As ships are expanding in size, the concept of a private ship, yacht, or boutique hotel “within a ship” is also growing. This is the perfect “buy out” option for small, upscale groups that require exclusivity and privacy, but still want access to all the amenities of a big ship. Here are some great examples: MSC Cruises – MSC Yacht Club – MSC Cruises was the first to introduce the private-access, “yacht within a ship” concept, and will extend the MSC Yacht Club to a third ship sailing in Europe, MSC Divina, in 2012. A self-contained private club area includes deluxe suites with 24hour European Butler service; an exclusive lounge, bar, restaurant, and pool deck; complimentary wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks; 24-hour concierge service; and private elevator to Aurea Spa.

Norwegian Cruise Line – The Haven by Norwegian – This private keycard-access suite complex is located on the top of select ships, including Norwegian Epic and Norwegian Breakaway (launching in 2013). The Haven features deluxe suites and a private courtyard complex with dining, concierge lounge, and 24-hour butler service; and VIP amenities including priority reservations in the ship’s specialty restaurants and entertainment venues. Celebrity Cruises – New Signature Suites – When Celebrity Reflection sets sail in Fall 2012, five new “Signature Suites” will offer spacious accommodations for four, a large veranda, and floor-to-ceiling windows designed to maximize the stunning ocean views. In addition, the 2bedroom, 1,636 sq foot Reflections Suite will be Celebrity’s largest suite at sea, accommodating six. The elite suite enclave will be located in a private area on the top deck of the ship, accessible only by private keycard for groups of up to 26. Butler service will be available 24/7.

4. River Cruising Comes of Age
River cruising is an increasingly popular option for meeting and event planners as a new generation of river vessels continue generate buzz. Of the 15 new ships that set sail in 2011, seven – nearly half – were river vessels! These small vessels plying the rivers of Europe, Asia and theU.S. are the perfect size for charter. They also offer more relaxed and immersive cultural experiences, dock in the heart of towns, and many itineraries include overnight stays. In 2012, Viking River Cruises will launch four new river vessels as part of a $250 million expansion program. Closer to home, Mississippi River cruises are making a comeback, with The Great American Steamboat Company re-launching the classic paddlewheeler American Queen in April 2012, and American Cruise Line’s new paddlewheeler -Mississippi Queen – launching in August. New riverboats in Europe and Asia feature more deluxe and contemporary amenities, including: butler service in spacious suites, suites with balconies that convert to glass-enclosed conservatories with the touch of a switch, wall-to-wall panoramic windows that open, al fresco dining areas, elevators, expanded fitness centers, glass-enclosed heated pools, ship-wide wireless access, hybrid engines for a quieter, green ride.

5. Entertainment Experiences – Wow!
There’s no other word but “wow” to describe new developments in cruise ship entertainment. With more diverse choices, interactive experiences, celebrity partnerships and world-class acts, there’s no question that cruise ships have become destinations in themselves. Over-the-top Entertainment Included – Jaw-dropping entertainment attractions include the latest 3-D movies, lavish “Ice Capades” style shows with Olympic-class skaters, and breathtaking water acrobats and high-diving aerial performances in AquaTheatres. With Broadway shows like “Hairspray”, “Chicago”, and “Saturday Night Fever” appearing on ship marquees, along with acts like Blue Man Group and “Legends in Concert”, planners are

discovering that cruise ships rival entertainment capitals like New York andLas Vegas – minus the pricey theater tickets.

6. Cruise Ship Dining: More Choices, More Surprises
Cruise lines continue to raise the culinary bar with more dining choices & cuisines (there are a whopping 25 options on Oasis and Allure of the Seas). But it’s not only fine dining – Norwegian’s popular 24/7 pizza delivery service is expanding fleetwide, and Guy Fieri has just launched “Guy’s Burger Joint” on Carnival ships (with no additional fee). Along with more casual venues and specialty restaurants, cruise lines are offering more unique, interactive culinary experiences – like Celebrity’s playful Qsine, with menus and wine lists on iPads and interactive cocktail menus. Both Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Lines now offer “Chef’s Table” culinary events for groups of up to 12, and Disney’s Animator Palate Restaurant on new ships feature Disney animation and guests’ drawings that magically come to life during a visually stunning dinner experience. In 2011, Oceania Cruises introduced Marina, the first “Epicurean Ship” designed for lovers of fine dining (Riviera follows in 2012). Six of the ten dining venues are open-seating gourmet restaurants with no surcharge, and the ships boast a new Bon Appetit Culinary Center- the only hands-on cooking school at sea. Several cruise lines including Oceania, Silversea Cruises, SeaDream Yacht Club, and Lindblad Expeditions also offer special “culinary adventures” ashore with local market tours, and shopping excursions with the chef.

7. Cool Technology Features
With WiFi access in public areas or bow to stern the standard on today’s ships, staying connected no longer a worry for meeting planners. But cruise lines are also using technology to enhance the shipboard experience. A few high-tech features you will see more of in 2012:
  

   

Celebrity iLounge computer centers (first Apple store at sea) Celebrity iPad art tours, iPad menus in Qsine specialty restaurant Royal Caribbean’s Splendour of the Seas will feature multi-lingual iPads in every cabin – can be used throughout the ship to monitor personal accounts, access ship’s daily newsletter, view restaurant menus, access the internet (will be expanded to 5 other ships) Digital Wayfinder systems on more Royal Caribbean ships Disney Cruises “magical porthole” in inside cabins –monitors with real-time video views outside the ship Disney Enchanted Art that magically comes alive when guests stop to view it Giant LCD screens on deck.

And perhaps the most luxurious high-touch, high-tech amenity of 2012:

Guests booked in Celebrity’s Reflection Suite, Signature Suites and Penthouse Suite will experience a breakthrough bedding experience, thanks to Celebrity Cruise Line’s partnership with Reverie. Reverie’s exclusive technology enables the iPod Touch, iPhone iPad and Reverie Remote app to act as a remote control for the Reverie Sleep System, allowing guests to easily operate massage features and adjust the elevation of the mattress. (Pressing “zero gravity” will create the ultimate sensation of “weightlessness,” similar to the sensation felt in a zero-gravity chamber.) Guests can enjoy this innovative technology through an iPad provided in each of the new suites.

Cruise staff jobs:
Cruise staff positions are often entry-level social positions. This job is for the enthusiastic and extroverted only.

On some lines, cruise staff will be expected to sing or dance in shows, but this is not as common as it used to be. Competition for an assistant cruise director position is stiff, so a lot of follow-up work is usually needed. Timing and determination are everything. We talked to some assistant cruise directors who applied continually for years before getting hired and others who were hired in a few weeks. Contracts generally last six months and pay is salary-based. Also note, that in most cases all of your standard living expenses will be covered (room, food, health coverage, etc.), so most of the money you earn can be saved.

Art Auctioneer
Art galleries around the world make their art available for sale through various cruise lines. The Art Auctioneer makes these pieces available for bid and sale to passengers of ships. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Assistant Cruise Director
This position supports the Cruise Director with managing and supervising the "cruise staff." Similar to the Cruise Director the Assistant Cruise Director is consistently visible to the passengers onboard. The Assistant Cruise Director assists with the routine passenger's activities and helps coordinate the evening's activities. This position dedicates a large amount of time to socialization with the guests and participation in shipboard activities. Occasionally the Assistant Cruise Director will be asked to host an evening show or event. This position assists the Social Host/Hostess with greeting the passengers as they come aboard and bid farewell as passengers

disembark the ship. The Assistant Cruise Director assists the Cruise Director in all his/her responsibilities. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Audio Visual Coordinator
The audio visual coordinator is the master of all sound and light on board the ship.

Reports to the Cruise Director. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Casino Staff
This is considered to be the ultimate job by crew members. The casino is usually closed while in port, which leaves plenty of free time for casino staff. Most cruise lines require three years' experience at a major casino in at least two games. Slot managers need three to five years' experience. Casino staff hours vary depending upon the ship, region, and clientele. For example, casinos on ships serving the Caribbean are usually busy and staff have to work long hours; conversely, casinos on European cruises often close earlier due to a more senior clientele. The various positions of the casino staff can include: Dealers, Casino Hosts, Cashiers, Casino Managers and Casino Technicians. When looking for a casino position don't forget to check out our concessionaires, some of the concessionaire companies specialize in casino placement. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Cruise Consultant
The cruise consultant makes themselves available to the passengers at regular desk hours to provide information on future cruise trips. The consultant promotes and sells future cruises to passengers onboard. This position offers a lot of free time in port. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Cruise Directors
The Cruise Director is in charge of all onboard entertainment. Most Cruise Directors have worked their way up from cruise staff positions and have had some kind of career in

entertainment themselves. Each cruise line looks for different qualities in a cruise director. The best way to learn how to become a cruise director is to work for one as an assistant cruise director or staff member. Generally, the Cruise Director is an entertainer and usually performs a couple times a voyage. Originally, the cruise director was the lead entertainer but now this role is more administrative and acts as a supervisor to the rest of the "cruise staff" department. The cruise director is the most visible crew member to the passengers. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Dance Instructor
Teach various forms of dance to passengers on ship as well as dance in ship's performances. Often times dance instructors apply as couples. The dance instructor couples teach together and use each other for dance demonstration. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Disc Jockeys
Cruise lines like their disc jockeys to have a broad music base to span the generations of their clientele. Experience in a hospitality position will increase a disc jockey's marketability because of the necessity to socialize gracefully with passengers. Experience with lighting and sound is a big asset as well. Some disc jockeys work closely with the stage manager in assisting with show production. Contracts are generally six months. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Dive Instructors/Lifeguards/Water Sports Instructors
Many cruise ships in the Caribbean have full water sport programs and SCUBA-diving certification courses available on the vessel. Instructors need a valid instructor's certification (PADI, NAUI, SSI) and a CPR certificate, and are also expected to generate enthusiasm for a water sport program. Some ships even provide windsurfing instructions and equipment. Since almost all ships have pools, people with lifeguard experience have a definite advantage. Cruise lines like to see applicants with creativity, confidence, and expertise. These are usually salaried positions with contracts anywhere from three months to six months. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Entertainers

Cruise lines look for general public appeal when hiring for entertainment jobs. Entertainment directors receive up to twenty media packs (taped audition materials, plus photos, profiles, and background information) daily. Those with a highly professional act stand the best chance of landing a job. Comedians need good material for three thirty-minute sets. Vocalists need a proven routine with music sheets for the orchestra. There are many jobs for musicians on cruise ships, too. Cruise lines are willing to work with talent and will try to fit entertainers into their programming schedule. Generally, cruise lines use concessionaires to staff their entertainment staff, therefore it is a good idea to start with the concessionaires we profile in our Members Section if you are strictly looking for work in entertainment. Some cruise lines and concessionaire companies travel around the country auditioning talent, so it's a good idea to periodically check to see if talent scouts are going to be in your area. Entertainers should document their acts on CD or DVD and send it to entertainment directors or concessionaires as part of their media packs. Contracts vary. They could be as short as the duration of one cruise, or they could be for many months. Pay also varies, depending on the cruise line. In a few cases, entertainers do not receive a salary at all. Instead, they are given free passage in a deluxe stateroom in return for performing. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Gentlemen Hosts
On many cruises, the female-to-male ratio can be quite high, especially for passengers in their senior years. Therefore, some ships feature male social hosts who are recruited to be dance and social partners for the passengers. Most hosts are retired single men who work for the chance to sail around the world for free, or sometimes for a small salary. Gentlemen hosts must know practically all types of dances, but ballroom, swing, waltz, fox trot, and other formal dances are preferred. Hosts must be able to dance for several hours almost every night. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Social Hosts and Hostesses
As a member of the cruise staff, hosts and hostesses are constantly in the public eye and often serve as the mouthpiece for the ship. Duties can include greeting passengers as they board and disembark, assisting shore excursions staff, giving port talks, arranging parties and dinners, acting as master of ceremonies at selected events and introducing the Captain to passengers at the Captain's Ball. Occasionally the host/hostess will assist in the library. When applying for these positions, applicants should stress public relations experience or education in public relations. An outgoing personality is extremely important for this position as you are required to socialize with the passengers on a regular basis. Contracts are generally six months and pay is salary-based. This position reports to the Cruise Director or Assistant Cruise Director. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Sound and Light Technician
This position provides the technical support for performance's sound effects and stage lighting. The sound and light technician maintains and repairs equipment. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Lecturers
Lecturers are commonly used in the Caribbean for port shopping talks. Duties other than making presentations may vary from company to company. The job requires superior public speaking skills and sales training. Port lecturers often represent certain stores ashore and support passengers who shop at the recommended stores by guaranteeing the merchandise. Port lecturers must be, above all, enthusiastic and credible. The Port Lecturers will work closely with the shore excursion staff. A thorough knowledge of the Caribbean is also helpful. Contracts vary and pay is usually base plus commission. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Naturalists
Companies hire naturalists to lecture on subjects pertinent to the region. Applicants with exceptional presentation skills and expertise on a region or topic should contact all the companies that cruise in that region. Naturalists are also considered part of the cruise staff, so enthusiastic, extroverted personalities are preferred. Naturalists can literally create a demand for themselves by showing cruise lines how their knowledge can enhance the passengers' appreciation for the itinerary. Contracts and salaries are negotiable. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Photographer
The photographer is the "johnny on the spot" always around to take memorable photos of passengesr as they embark on the cruise as they depart to port, attend theme parties and formal events. The photographer catalogues the passenger's journey. In addition to snapping photos the photographer develops and sells the photographs to passengers. All photo equipment is usually provided by the cruise line. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Port Lecturer/Lecturer

This type of position has become increasingly popular. Passengers like to learn information about the ports they will be visiting prior to arrival. The Port Lecturer presents lectures while the ship is at sea on various topics of the port's history, archeology, natural history, wildlife, marine biology, geology, culture and much more. The Lecturers also present lectures at sea but their areas of expertise may include all of the above as well as oceanography, wildlife biology, psychology, astronomy, nutrition, health, arts & crafts, history, finance, photography, business and much more! More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Shore Excursion Manager
Cruise companies offer and sell their passengers organized tours of the different areas they travel to. The Shore Excursion Manager is responsible for knowing how many tours are offered for each stop, promoting and selling shore excursion packages to their passengers. The Shore Excursion Manager also makes sure that the tours they have sold are conducted in a way that is true to the "sales package." This position requires overseeing the shore excursion staff, accounting and documenting of all tours or excursions that are sold. In addition to all of the above the Shore Excursion Manager is required to give presentations or informative talks onboard about the various excursions they offer prior to reaching port. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Shore Excursion Staff/ Assistant Shore Excursion Manager
The responsibilities of shore excursion staff are to assist with shore excursions and land tours. The position is comparable to that of a Junior Assistant Purser and, on some cruise lines, the actual title is Junior Assistant Purser, Shore Excursions. Office and administrative skills are required, but no previous experience in tourism is necessary. The Shore Excursion staff sometimes are referred to as Assistant Shore Excursion Managers and are responsible for staffing the shore excursion desk that includes guest services and tour sales. They also must politely deal with complaints from passengers. Take a look at the various seasonal land tour opportunities connected with the cruise lines. Alaska is full of them (many of which are listed in our Tour Guide section of our Members Section). Many cruise staff and shore excursion personnel currently working in the industry got their start on land, then moved to the ships. Contracts vary and payment is salaried. Seasonal land tours are a great way to "get in" with the company without interrupting an education schedule, particularly in Alaska, where ships generally only visit and use land-based tour guides during the summer months. A summer in Alaska can be a great experience. As one guide put it: "It couldn't have been a more ideal summer job. I got to work with people from all over the country, live in Juneau, which is one of the most beautiful towns I've ever seen, and get paid for

the experience! I even got to work as a customer service representative for a week on one of our Columbia River cruises, and next year I hope to get hired as a cruise coordinator on one of our ships." More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Production Managers
This is a highly skilled technical position. Production managers are responsible for all sound and light operations for the entertainers. Cruise lines prefer someone with experience running a mixing board for musical groups, as well as professional theater experience. The Production Manager will also be responsible for supervising the audio visual team. Basic repair and maintenance of stage equipment. This position reports to the Cruise Director. Most of the work is in the evenings, though sea days can be quite busy. Newer cruise ships have computerized mixing boards, and companies prefer someone familiar with state-of-the-art equipment. These are salaried positions, with negotiable contracts. More detailed job descriptions, job requirements and compensation figures are listed in our Members Section.

Youth Counselors
This position is sometimes synonymous with child care and babysitting; on some ships workers are even called nannies. Because children can only accompany their parents on lengthy cruises during the summer months, youth counselors are usually only hired for the summer, making it ideal work for college students. The youth counselors create new children's programs and implement new and existing youth activities. Primarily you will be supervising children from the ages of 3-17. Occasionally these positions escort children on shore excursions. Of course, you really have to love kids in this job.
