From Shore to Ship: The Interpreter's Voyage?
Presented in ASL by Tabatha King & Hilary Wagner
Tabatha King and Hilary Wagner have become a dynamic duo with a combined 25 years of experience in the field as professional interpreters in a variety of settings. The pair have been able to apply such skills to cruise interpreting, coming in at a whopping 80+ sailings between them. Their work has taken them from solo assignments to teams of 100+ interpreters, with opportunities to step in as a designated lead interpreter for group settings along the way. Be it rocking out with musical performances or providing access to laughs at the comedy club; these two are ready to snorkel, zipline, or interpret while walking backwards if the need arises. From their time onboard, not only do they have a list of tips and tricks to share, but also the soft skills to navigate the “rough waters” between passengers, crew, and entertainment.
Educational Objectives:
Summarize the check-in process from shore to ship.
Identify three potential activitis one can expect to interpret onboard.
Construct solutions for two potential issues that arise in entertainment venues.
