Our Final Days at Sea: Recap

As we complete our cruise, I just had to share our last few days.

This was our balcony view... such spectacular scenes from the open seas happening on a daily basis.

The remaining headliner shows did not disappoint. Meet talented, funny, Lance Ringnald. In 1988, Lance was 18 and earned the distinction of being the youngest male member of a U.S. Olympic Team in twenty years. He is a two-time Olympian and veteran of three World Gymnastics Championships teams and numerous international competitions. He has turned his athleticism and showmanship into a cruise show that was so entertaining.

The Rat Pack Reloaded was a welcomed repeat for us. This show reminds me that I was born in the wrong decade.

There is no way for me to fully explain Sonic Odyssey. Dancing, singing, costumes, and so much talent were some of the components of this amazing extravaganza.

It features the incredible Earth Harp created by William Close, an installation artist, musician and visionary who has developed over one hundred new musical instruments.

Have you ever seen an instrument that’s so large that the audience experiences it from inside the instrument? If not, then meet the Earth Harp, an instrument that turns the environment into an integral component. It’s been named the “longest stringed instrument in the world” by Guinness World Records.

Showcasing a variety of instruments, created by Mr. Close, we loved when il maestro played this violin-filled dress. WOW.

Both Steve and I deemed this our most favorite show, to date. WOW.

Art auctions filled various afternoons. Can you imagine coming home with this piece?

My last art craft was one that truly made me sad due to it ending. Angela Noble has been a creative goddess who inserted herself in my cruise itinerary and I will miss her inspiration, encouragement, and delightfulness so much.

We made paper bead bracelet, a skill I never knew I needed to know.

A unique offering was a Behind the Scenes Backstage Tour of the Royal Theatre. This is a state-of-the-art venue for entertainment, featuring advanced technology for lighting, scenery, and sound. And we got to learn how it all works.
