Distinguished Gent Host Program |
|
Current Update |
Some of you may be aware of my love for dancing and that I am a Gentleman Host. Below is the company that I hooked up with in 2003. I thought some people might be interested in reading about the company and maybe even (the guys only) apply for a position. Of course there are other positions for the ladies but the Host Program is only for the guys as there are few solo gents travelling on the cruise ships. If I have peeked your curiosity then you will be interested in my DiGiT's page which will tell you how you can get your foot in the door for this fantastic opprotunity, that being a Gentleman Host is. Some of my cruises that I have been on already include a Mediterranean cruise (2001), a Hawaii cruise (2002), and a trip on the QE2 (2003). (Working on a page about my 2004 cruise on Celebrity Cruise Lines to the Mediterranean [June 2004], my Alaska cruise at the end of August 2004) and my Panama cruise in 2005. ************ |
My first trip, as a host, was a 17 day adventure aboard the Radisson Seven Seas Navigator that took me from Fort Lauderdale to Bermuda, across the Atlantic to Madeira, Portugal, Malaga and Barcelona, Spain, Nice, France, and Portofino and Civitavecchia (80 km from Rome), Italy in April of 2001. ************ My second trip found me on the MS Statendam, one of the Holland America Lines finest, traveling from San Diego to Hawaii stopping at the ports of Hilo, Honolulu, Nawiliwili, Lahaina, and Kona returning to San Diego 15 days later on April 7, 2002. ************ |
