The inaugural Bravo Cruise of the Performing Arts, 1 week in November
2014 on Royal Carribean's Radiance of the Sea:
http://chooseyourcruise.tv/bravo/. I wouldn't have minded if the ship
had never left Sydney Harbour - the performances were just stunning:
Cheryl Barker, David Hobson, Teddy Tahu Rhodes, Simon Tedeschi, Guy
Noble and a 35-piece orchestra, Marina Prior, Tommy Fleming, Michael
Falzon, Elaine Page, ...

It will be done again in October 2015, with a slightly less stellar
cast, IMHO.

that sounded awsome, even though I have never heard of any of those
people, what were the ports of call?

And thank you for responding I did not think that anyone would

Inaugural cruise for the Carnival Legend. It left our of England and
went to the Baltics. We hit Estonia, Netherlands, Norway, Germany,
Russia, Finland and Denmark.

Being the very first cruise, the ship was immaculate. It was an
expensive cruise so it wasn't filled with the normal Carnival party
crowd. The food was fantastic and, with a fresh crew, the service was
outstanding! Our only complaint was that the maitre d considered
himself a crooner so every night during dinner he would grab the
microphone and "entertain" us with his karaoke.

I had a chance to go onboard the ship a few years later and couldn't
believe how fast it was trashed. I just don't do Carnival anymore.

I have done carnival three times, and am very pleased with it. Granted
the older ships are basically crap but they are refurbishing most of
them. My last cruise was on the carnival dream and it was wonderful,
there isn't a thing I can complain about. The ship was clean and
sanitary, the performers were great, and the food was wonderful, I
mean what little I could eat that did not contain gluten. A few of the
wait staff were idiots, but that could have just been the language
barrier and my speech or accent. The rooms were cozy and I even
accidently drank one of the liquors form the fridge and they did not
even charge me for it.

I don't disagree that the ships are fine and the food is good. My
complaint is with the Carnival customers. I found that their average
passenger is a big time boozer. Some people get so sloshed that they
accidentally drink stuff they find laying around! ;-)

personally when I go on a cruise the only time I am sober is the first
hour or so after I wake up.... then I drink a slow but steady
rum/water combo the entire cruise, I am not **** faced falling down
drunk, but I feel great..... also I am not a mean crazy drunk I am a
happy fun loving talkitive kinda drunk. And I would do that on any
cruise that I took no matter what name was on the side of the ship
