a cruise ship life for me...

cruise ship life is the life for me. i loved almost every aspect of it. i loved the diversity of the crew. i loved the food…it was amazing! i loved that once you were on the ship you never had to spend another dime if you didn’t want to. and, i loved that you could be as busy or relaxed as you wanted to be. there was something going on every moment of every day and it was up to you to choose if you joined in or not.

every night there was a big production show. these shows generally consisted of singers, magicians, dancers, a comedian, etc. there were also lots of lounge singers and a variety of live music around the ship throughout the day. so, for a music lover like myself it was pure heaven. the very first show was “The Jersey Boys”, four boys singing the songs of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. and, they were fantastic!

i firmly believe, and this is only my opinion, that there is a proper and improper use of falsetto. in fact, as much as i have been and always will be a fan of new kids on the block…Jordan Night abuses the falsetto on a pretty regular basis. just because you CAN do it, doesn’t always mean that you should. with that said, the guy portraying Frankie Valli in this quartet has what i consider to be the most proper use of falsetto i’ve heard in a long time. in the middle of the performance Jessica leaned over to me and said, “his falsetto is SICK.” and, i agreed.

since we all have the right to our own opinions, i’ll let you decide for yourself…

here are some of the other happenings on the ship…
this was my home for 12 days...royal caribbean's navigator of the seas.
the village people showed up for disco inferno night and the policeman started a conga line.
as i said, the food was fantastic. this was a dessert sampler...amazing!
they really do make animals out of the towels they leave for you. and, if you leave your sunglasses laying around, sometimes they'll accessorize.

Keep the vacation posts coming! I love them.

I do have to say though, that the simple thought of Jessica saying "That guys falsetto is SICK!" has had me rolling for the last 10 minutes. SO fun.
