Funny...this was actually a really enjoyable show.

I haven't seen a hypnotist onboard in probably a decade+ (not HAL). When I did, it was painful (painfully funny and shocking) to watch, particularly the adult shows. They were definitely hypnotized, as several of them were doing things which I can pretty much guarantee someone would not do if they were just playing along. I mean, men and women on the stage crawling around on all fours, and "greeting/getting to know other (dogs)"  as dogs do... oh my...

 

Moral of this story... why in the HECK would someone volunteer to come up for a comedy skit ?? !!!

One reason we like to get on a ship earlier on embarkation day is to have plenty of time to explore it and get to know all the little out-of-the-way bars and other places so we can do exactly what the original poster did: know of alternatives if someplace is packed or doesn't have the particular liquor we want etc etc. We're not particularly fond of dense crowds in general so that really helps make for a more relaxing cruise.

Sorry.. not HAL (nor MSC)... getting my "yet to be experienced, but still booked" cruise lines mixed up. I have my toes in two new ponds.  🙂

One mystery: how did the lady in the dress manage to sit lady like while relaxing all other body parts?

The world may never know 🙂

 

I watched a hypnotist in Vegas years ago - and there, too, were some things which didn't seem to fit. Perhaps there's certain built-in things, limits, I don't know. I've seen some pretty strange stuff - and I guess some are more susceptible than others.
