Day 14
At Sea
COFFEE CHAT
Lee Bradley, the wonderful tenor who performed last night, was the guest during this morning’s Coffee Chat. He taught himself how to sing by listening to Pavarotti CDs in his bedroom. After he auditioned for the Royal Opera, they were surprised to learn that he didn’t have any formal training and arranged for him to attend the Royal Academy of Music. He enjoys performing on cruise ships and will often adapt his second show based on the feedback he receives from the first show.
GOLD, GLITZ AND GLEAM
Tonight was another gala night with the theme – Gold, Glitz and Gleam. You can find a list of all the theme nights here.
The dining room was all decked in Gold trim with the waiters wearing gold vests and ties. We had invited guest entertainer, Mark Donoghue, to our table this evening. It was a pleasant surprise when we learned that a ship’s officer, Kristin (Onboard Revenue Manager), would be hosting our table. Whenever a table is hosted by a ship’s officer they always provide the wine, which is a nice treat.
Kristin hails from Texas and is married to Grahame, the HAL orchestra drummer. Kristin has been working on ships for 10 years after getting her start as the Microsoft Studio Instructor on an Alaska cruise.
ON THE MAIN STAGE
Tonight’s guest entertainer was Tim Abel, a pianist from the UK. He played a variety of classical numbers, along with some pop tunes. One of the highlights was Liberace’s arrangement of Chop Sticks. He has a great stage presence and was very entertaining. The entertainment so far on this cruise as been first rate across the board.
CROW’S NEST
After the show we headed up to the Crow’s Nest to check out the Gold, Glitz and Gleam. There were about 20 people having a great time, all gleamed up and dancing to the “Station Band”. We spotted these two guys who had the best Glitz and Gleam going.
PILLOW GIFT
Back in the cabin we discovered out latest “Pillow Gift” – a portable power bank for charging your mobile devices. A list of the other gifts we have received this cruise are HERE
