Cruising provides much entertainment at bars and other ship locations. Walking through the ship one is never at a loss for music. But perhaps my favorite entertainment is the nightly shows, usually two per evening of the same performance, in the main ballroom. Here guests can relax with a cocktail to a 45 minute show of dancers, singers, magic, comedy, or juggling acts.

Take a peek..

This 60 something Irishman was a hoot relaying his life in Ireland growing up in a family of 11. While now living in Florida with a wife of German descent he had the audience rolling in the aisles with his common sense, clean humor.

What fun! Jon combined comedy with juggling. British humor is my favorite and this young gentlemen certainly can perform. He also is a teacher of juggling and world renowned. Great shows.

Always marvel at how these folks can twist and turn.

This performance by the cruise ship dancers/singers brought tears to my eyes recalling the Burt Bacharach and Dionne Warwick collaboration. While the cruise staff performances stellar nothing can compare to that night at Saratoga Performing Arts where Burt and Dionne performed together. He on the piano accompanying her as she sang over 20 songs.

The poster says it all. Unusual magic and contortion acts from this married couple.

Another magical night by the cruise ship performers. Music from the 70’s, 80’s, and beyond…

AND, last but not least… This man began his life as an English bus driver always wanting a career in the performing arts. His dream came true when he was picked during an open call for Lion King.

What an astounding voice.

Always a sure bet at the evening performances.
