Day 71, At Sea, 16 Mar 2016
It was nice to relax at sea before our busy day in Phuket tomorrow.
Our at sea routine continues almost unchanged: Drawing, Crafts and Knitting for Judy with my day spent in the Casino playing Texas Hold-em followed by evening trivia.
Tonight in the Lido they featured a Makansutra dinner with many of the foods you may find in Singapore food stalls. While we didn’t eat in the LIDO, we found a few of the same items featured on the menu in the MDR including:
- Singapore Beef Kway Teow ginger
- Coconut Seabream Fillet in Banana Leaves
- Hainanese Chicken Rice boiled chicken
- King Pao
Tonight’s entertainers were a quartet named “Jukebox Rogue”. We are seeing more of these acts put together for the cruise ship market which feature great vocalists from the West End and Broadway. The singers are usually between musical theatre gigs or have come to realize that singing on cruise ships beats waiting on tables. Early groups in this genre included “The Knights” and “Rock Rhapsody”.
“Get Ready” was the Jukebox Rogue’s opening number, followed by a string of favorites including: “It’s The Same Old Song”, “I’ll Be There”, “Cherie”, “Why Do Fools Fall in Love?” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You”. Toward the end of the show they sang “This is the Moment” from the musical – Jekyll and Hyde which really showcased their background in musical theatre.
We will be in Phuket tomorrow.
