It seems like the work never ends here...we are finished teching and opening all of the shows, but last cruise we spent puting together a Jazz Brunch and Broadway in the Atrium, basically a couple more opportunities to perform on the ship. We do a Broadway cabaret the night before the cruise ends at a central spot on the ship...people tend to really like to see us perform as ourselves after that have spent a cruise seeing us in shows on stage. It also gives us an opportunity to try out new songs and keep up on old ones. We are pretty much free to do whatever we want, but the crowds LOVE their Andrew Lloyd Webber and such. :)
We just left Rome last night...we actually port in a city called Civitavecchia and then have to bus in to Rome. This was the first time that I made it there because of techs for the shows or boat drills or other conflicts. It just so happened that it was Easter Sunday, so we were lucky enough to be able to see the Pope speak at the Vatican. You can't help but think that that is a once in a lifetime opportunity! We also had the chance to see the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish steps. I have a TON of pictures but that will have to wait until I have better internet in one of the ports.
We always have an overnight in Alexandria, Egypt when we are there so that the passengers have time in Cairo which is about 3 hours away. And THAT means that there is usually a crew party that night while most of the passengers are away and it just so happens that the production cast is sponsoring it this time. They tend to be theme parties (Pirate, Egyptians, etc), cause who doesn't love a theme party? Ours is "Heaven and Hell" this time, so hopefully we can get a lot of people in the crew to dress up...the cast always tends to go pretty full out. Again, pictures to come...
