The production (Broadway style) show, "Do You Wanna Dance" was one we hadn't seen before and we really enjoyed it. Plus, it was about 45-50 minutes long, traditional for cruise shows, compared to the shorter 30 minute shows now on the Emerald.
The show features dances of several styles and eras. My favorites were the Thai dance and the Irish dance. The backdrops and props are downsized to fit on a smaller ship, but with great lighting and smoke effects, the overall look of the show is similar to other production shows we've seen. . And with four singers, 7 female and 4 male dancers, it isn't as if the number of performers is noticeably reduced.
Afterward we wandered up to the buffet, which on this ship is on an upper deck at the front of the ship, surrounded on three sides by floor to ceiling glass. We haven't yet eaten in the buffet (exactly NOT what we had planned), but I wanted a cup of tea. And that's when we saw it- or didn't see it...we are once again socked in by fog and the fog horn is sounding every minute or so. Oh boy...this could make falling asleep a bit tricky.
I happened to see broccoli cooked with garlic in olive oil while we were up there, so of course I had to have some. G went to get a cookie...and came back with assistant Maitre d' Armando, who we knew from the Emerald. It was so good to see him again, a familiar face among a lot of new ones. He and Captain Binetti and a crewmember in the Accomodations department are the only three members of the ship's company we've recognized so far.
Now we're in bed, and G, who was worried about falling asleep needn't have...he was out as soon as his head hit the pillow. I will email this post to my blog and follow. We set our clocks back an hour tonight (a good thing), but we arrive in Ketchikan, Alaska tomorrow at 6:30am. Luckily I brought ear plugs...hope they work!
