Sixth Star currently places many types of instructors aboard ships including Bridge, Ballroom Dance, Texas 42 and Arts & Crafts.
A Bridge Director must be an accredited bridge teacher and ACBL certified director who has achieved Life Master standing. The director must be proficient at both Standard American and Acol and be an excellent socializer with an outgoing, dynamic personality. The Bridge Director is responsible for teaching lessons for intermediate/advanced players followed by an afternoon of duplicate and social bridge play on each day the ship is at sea and on select port days. Depending on the ship, bridge directors may be asked to offer lessons for absolute beginners. The Bridge Director is also responsible for submitting any masterpoints earned by passengers who are ACBL members.
Dance Instructors most commonly travel as a duo, and the couple must be proficient in all dance styles – from the classics to the current fads -- and offer lessons to passengers of all ages and abilities. One day might feature lessons on traditional ballroom dance techniques including the waltz and the foxtrot, while the next might be spent teaching line dancing and the Macarena. Dance Instructors must be outgoing, friendly and prepared for anything.
Texas 42 Instructors - Often referred to as “the National Game of Texas,” Texas 42 is a popular domino game similar in strategy to the card game Bridge, but not as complicated. As a new program on board Royal Caribbean's Rhapsody of the Seas, we will be featuring experts in the game of Texas 42 who will instruct passengers on how to play and improve their game and host game play on each sea day. The Texas 42 Instructor must be friendly, flexible and an excellent socializer with an outgoing, dynamic personality. The Instructor will be responsible for teaching lessons for absolute beginners and intermediate/advanced players. Each lesson is followed by game play on each day the ship is at sea and on select port days. The Texas 42 Instructors will also be responsible for keeping an accurate count of the ship’s Texas 42 permanent and consumable supplies, such as dominos, pads of paper, and pens.
An Arts & Crafts Instructor* must be a friendly, patient and creative individual who enjoys teaching craft projects to the guests while the ship is at sea or on select port days. The instructor will be responsible for providing the supplies needed to make the crafts and must prepare an original project for each class. Examples of craft lessons may include "The Joy of Scrapbooking", "Easy-to-Make Christmas Ornaments", or "Making of a Greeting Card".
Terms and Conditions - Directors and Instructors who are placed by Sixth Star are offered the luxuries of a fine voyage in a passenger stateroom with full passenger privileges in exchange for their services and a small administrative fee of $65 per day for each day of the cruise. This fee covers the costs associated with the application processing, interviewing, correspondence on behalf of the cruise lines, form completions and all other steps necessary to complete your cruise placement.
