Aboard the world's largest cruise ship, 6,600 passengers pay a premium to be entertained every single day. That's why Royal Caribbean hires serious athletes to do eight shows a week. They get paid to perform in productions around the world in front of millions of cruise-goers. But the job isn't always easy. Performers work 11 months straight without a single vacation day, and they do it all on a moving stage in the middle of the ocean.
Mazz is American in a cast of performers from all over the world. And they're all accomplished athletes: professional slackliners, Olympic-level divers, and world-renowned martial artists. Like many of her fellow castmates, Mazz never planned on being a cruise-ship performer. On a whim, she tried out for Royal Caribbean her junior year of college and beat out thousands of others for a spot.
Before any performance, Mazz usually hits the gym for about an hour. Then she comes to the theater to run a safety test on the 3D flyer. The flyer is made up of a harness and four sets of wires connected to the ship. The technology is pretty complex and can move her on four axes. But the tech is proprietary to Royal Caribbean, so we couldn't get too close. After Mazz is all set on the wire, she stretches, then heads downstairs to the secret 4.
