Strictly Ballroom - Male Dance Host's

Many cruise lines allocate cabins for dance hosts. Dance hosts are expected to socialise with passengers and dance with the female passengers, who happen to greatly out number male passengers on most cruises.
 Dance hosts must be present nightly at dance floor locations and "work the room", offering a dance to each unescorted female passenger, while being careful to not to show favoritism. They are also responsible for attending all ship-sponsored parties and are often asked to host tables at dinner time. They serve as general companions, making conversation and joining in for shipboard activities and games. All the while, romance is not involved, so these gentlemen must have their wits and tact about them. Crossing another passenger's cabin threshold can result in disembarkation.
  Ideal hosts come from well travelled and well educated backgrounds who find it easy to converse on a variety of subjects. It is important that hosts have polished appearances and refined, approachable manners. They must also be in good shape, as dancing, most nights, lasts for hours.

My personal opinion is that its acceptable and is a fabulous way for those sailing solo to enjoy the whole experiance of their cruise.

I just have one pause for thought, what about the male solo cruiser's do they have to rely on and hope there may be some single lady to dance with?
