About Cruise Line Auditions
We created Crusie Line Auditions in order to assist our fellow entertainers in gaining employment on cruise ships.
How are we different?
Unlike most other agencies, we will NOT bind our clients in a contract nor will we continually take a percentage of their earnings. Our agency simply collects a finder’s fee once a contract has been offered and accepted by the client.
At Cruise Line Auditions our finder’s fee is approximately 2.5% of an entertainer’s earnings on an average six-month contract. Most other agencies charge at least 10%, if not 15% per paycheck.
Ultimately, we are helping connect entertainers with prospective employers in a way that gives each individual complete control over their present and future job opportunities.
