Rare yes!yes!yes! Posted August 22, 2022 Author #355 Share Posted August 22, 2022 The ship is very quiet. Good atmosphere at all the shows. Only using one dining room for the whole cruise and only one feature show per night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, when I had noro a few months ago, my husband had a suggestion. I will leave that one to your imagination. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some elements, it was worse than for Carnival and P&O. After all, those "party like" 3 night cruises don't come with a Plus fare drink package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only using one dining room for the whole cruise and only one feature show per night. I remember Kevin the cruise director saying that the Universal Lounge was going to be closed for this cruise and it would be used for crew fun activities such as a wine and cheese night and some production/game shows that would be put on for the crew. I hope the crew enjoy the seven days of lower passenger numbers after all their hard work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember one time when were doing a repositioning cruise up to Asia - I think it it was the Golden one to HK - and one night they had a crew party in the Sanctuary.

sewgood Posted August 23, 2022 #370 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I wonder if the production staff will put on the Hollywood Hiccups Show for the crew in the Universe Lounge. We watched it from the top level and there were about ten white uniformed staff (guys and gals) viewing it from up there and having a great laugh at the antics of the cruise directors staff, especially when Kevin had his shirt off and when the cows and chickens were bowing down. I'm trying not to give anything away for those who haven't watched it. But it is so bad it's good. ( $22 budget was the budget, so Kevin told the audience) The home made/ make do costumes are charming and make you laugh. So it will be good for all the crew to be able to see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
