"I saved my real raves for the entertainment which was the BEST of any I've ever had on a cruise. From the singers and dancers to the special guest stars, it was first rate and memorable. Too many to name but needless to say, every night was a joy!"

"We loved the cruise director, Adam, and the entertaining shows. There was always seating available, caught a movie or two under the stars, went to some lectures and enjoyed the most excellent classical guitar player, pianist and string quartet."

"When not performing, they greeted us at the theater doors, and impressed us as ordinary people, all from the UK. When on stage, however, they transformed into professional performers who sang ABBA, Beatles, and Broadway songs. Their choreography was excellent. I was transported back to the 60’s and 70’s. Parts of the Broadway songs even brought tears to my eyes--just wonderful performances."
