paulred Posted January 1, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I have heard that some cruise lines use mature single gentlemen as "ambassadors". That is, partners for single lady cruisers- dancing, playing bridge, escorting on excursions etc. Does anyone know if this still exists, and how one would apply? I have a divorced friend, former executive , who was bought out of his professional job and is now "at loose ends". He was wondering if this was still so, and, if so, how to apply. thanks Paul ( no, its not me, - still happily married) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundagger Posted January 1, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 1, 2009 HAL still has a few "social hosts" on the longer cruises. I have read on CC that the positions are unpaid - they receive the cruise as "payment". That is hearsay. Try http://entertainment.hollandamerica.com/ Click on "Cruise Staff", then click on "Dance Partners". There is an address and a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitty9 Posted January 2, 2009 #4 Share Posted January 2, 2009 The one major requirement is their dance skills. These hosts spend most of the time dancing in the clubs and with the professional dance instructors. Many men use an agency that places them on ships. Check out the website: http://www.workingvacation.com. It gives the requirements for ambassador hosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubytue Posted January 2, 2009 #5 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I am in no way qualified, but this intrigued me, so I clicked on the link. The correct address is: http://www.theworkingvacation.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
