With Jayne Curry

"50% of what you do on a cruise ship happens off stage..."

In this episode, John Blackburn chats with Jayne Curry – Head of Talent Development for Don Casino in the US, co-owner of Black Box Booking in South Florida, and a professional guest entertainer with 23 years at sea.

Jayne talks candidly about feedback, brand positioning, and the difference between the job description and the job as it actually functions. She shares how visibility, humility, and understanding the wider organisation can influence rebooking as much as performance itself.

The conversation also touches on evolving with the industry, mentoring experienced acts, and what the future may hold for guest entertainers as cruise entertainment continues to shift.
