Fun Nighttime Activities
My son Marlowe is a party animal so he enjoyed all the shows
in the Queen’s lounge, featuring the Amsterdam Sings and Dancers, the ABBA
favorites in the Crow’s Nest, as well as name that tune and was a hit at
Karaoke several nights. I watched him woo the audience with his karaoke
performances, then laughed at him line-dancing and just dancing to the music. I
didn’t dance, but it inspired me to take a Zumba or line-dancing class back at
home.
I don’t know what other shows Marlowe watched (I was so
tired I went to bed early many nights), but I know there was various “Name that
Tune” shows along with various performer’s music including that of Frank
Sinatra, Groovy 60s singalong, Billy Joel and Elton John, Motown, Abba, Neil
Diamond, and country western music, just to mention a few—although I doubt Marlowe
watched the last. There were various comedians and a magician that he relished,
I know, as well as a number of trivia games. The ship definitely kept us
entertained.
Meeting People
I love to meet and talk to people and that was especially
fun on the cruise. My daughter texted me that a friend of hers from when we
lived in Italy was onboard the ship, and we located and talked to her. Mostly
we met people at dinner.
Most of the dining room tables were for eight people, so we
shared with different people each night, and it was so fun talking to people
and making new friends. By the end of the voyage, I was having trouble keeping
straight who was who and what night we had dinner with them. On a ship as large
as ours, you would think you would never run into people again, but we kept
doing so.

My Favorite
Things
I am asked what were my favorite parts of the cruise, and it
is hard to decide which was best. I loved all the excursions, the food, and the
entertainment (although Marlowe’s karaoke and dancing has to be in the top five
most enjoyable activities). I think the most enjoyable was meeting interesting
people, and of course my scrapbooking and culinary experiences.
If you get a chance to take a cruise to Alaska—DO IT! TODAY!
It will be an adventure of a lifetime.
