Cruise Confirmation Process

Cruise Confirmation Process

Candidates who have been interviewed and accepted into the Sixth Star Enrichment Program are invited to visit our website and review the “Current Cruise Openings” for their area of expertise. If a particular cruise appeals to you and fits into your schedule, then you are welcome to send an e-mail indicating your interest for that sailing. It is important to note that you will not automatically be placed on this cruise.

After receiving your request, the Sixth Star account manager will do an assessment of your background and topics as they pertain to the needs of the cruise line and that particular itinerary. As per our normal policy, placements will not be given on a first-come, first-served basis, but instead will be given on a fair and balanced assessment including: speaking skills, social skills, ambassador skills, personality, style, flexibility, credentials and of course, feedback from previous cruise performances, if applicable.

If the account manager decides that you are the right person for the cruise, there is one more critical step in the process: the proposal to the cruise line. This proposal, which features your photo headshot, biography and proposed topics for this particular cruise, will be sent to the cruise line for ultimate approval.

If the cruise line approves your proposal, then you will be sent a formal Sixth Star Confirmation Letter and you can begin to make your travel plans. NOTE: until you receive an official Confirmation Letter, you are not yet approved for your voyage.

Also, please be aware that sometimes our cruise line clients will reject a proposal. Sometimes the reason they say “no” pertains directly to the proposed subject matter or the level of credentials featured in the biography. Other times the reason may be completely out of our control (ie: cabin allocation was withdrawn, etc.) Regardless of the reason, if your proposal for a certain cruise was declined, we encourage you to discuss the situation with the account manager, who may recommend that you review other available cruises on our website.
