Description
I never forget my roots either. In my mind I'm still little Brenda Swainston (stage name now Collins). When I first arrive on board not many passengers know me and so I'm 'wallpaper' but once I've been on stage I become part of their holiday and I like that. I still get very nervous because when I work at a hotel, I go to the venue, perform my show which involves interacting with the audience but then at the end of the night I go home. When I'm on a ship I'm already at the venue and when I have performed my show I, obviously remain at the venue so it's very nerve wracking. Once I've performed my first show I feel better because I then feel as though I'm that bit nearer to getting to know the passengers. I love it.
