Instructors, Bridge Directors, Caricature Artists, Cruise
Entertainment Staff, Dancer-Production Teams, Face Painters, Guest
Speakers, Musicians, Singer-Production Teams, Technical Staff, Youth
Coordinators and others.
About Being "Enrichment Staff" - Whether you have been
booked on a cruise as a guest speaker, bridge director, arts &
crafts director, ballroom dance instructor, clergy or other
short-term position, you fall under the category of "Enrichment
Staff."
Enrichment Staff are not employees of Sixth Star, nor the cruise
line, and are not considered crew members. While Enrichment Staff
are included on the passenger manifest and enjoy full passenger
status, they are not "passengers," as passengers have to
pay full price for their cruise.
So, as Enrichment Staff, you are probably wondering, "Where do
I fit in?" Good question! Enrichment Staff are in a bit of a
gray area. They are not crew, but not passengers. That said; this
gray area is one of the best travel deals afloat. In exchange for
sharing your special talent several times throughout the cruise, you
enjoy a cruise for two and all the food, entertainment and
activities that passengers have to pay for. However, please note
that due to this unique role, it is important that full-fare
passengers always come first around the ship. For more information,
visit www.sixthstar.com.
