The Music
Xstasea - We loved this band. They played all types of music. They played poolside and in the Revelations lounge. They always got the party started.
Jason - guitar player.
We enjoyed his music on the Sunset bar at the back of the ship. We had a little laugh that he didn't play any of the normal requests like Brown Eyed Girl or Sail Away. It wasn't "his" type of music. He did do a great job using technology to enhance his sound.
It's 5 o'clock somewhere duo - This was a keyboard player with a guitar player. We heard them a couple times and enjoyed it.
Salsa band - Before dinner, a salsa band would play in the lounge closest to the dining room. We loved watching the salsa dancers.
Karaoke - Karaoke is usually scheduled during the second dinner seating. We were glad that it was available one night so Glenn got to sing.
He did so well that he qualified for the finals, but it was during our dinner time so he couldn't compete.
The Shows
Rondell Sheridan - We loved his comedy shows. He did a regular show and an adult comedy show. He really played to the audience with jokes about cruising, being over 50 and being married for a long time.
Jay Mattioli - He is a magician who appeared on an early season of America's Got Talent. His show was entertaining, but not the best magic I have seen.
Battle of the Sexes - We enjoyed this trivia game that separated the men and the women. The questions were good and fast paced. It was a lot of fun.
Dancing with the Stripes - Members of the crew pair up with passengers for a dancing with the stars type competition. We had some good laughs at the enthusiastic dancing.
The Dance Parties
Sizzle Deck Party - The Deck Party had a Latin theme and it was awesome. The dancers kicked off the show with a great routine and then Xstasea kept the dance floor packed with the dancers leading line dances. We had so much fun!
70s Dance night - This followed a similar format with the dancers starting the party and then keeping the dance floor packed.
Ship activities
Backstage Tour - Because Glenn is a Select member, we were invited to a tour of backstage. It was interesting to see the tight dressing room quarters.
The dancers on the Summit all work for an English production company. They are cast in England and learn all the shows there. Then they have one week to learn the blocking on the ship. A different production company handles each class of ship, but each ship has different shows. The shows usually last about 5 years unless they are really popular.
Visit to the Bridge - We were very excited to get invited to a visit to the Bridge especially since we attended the navigation lecture.
Martini Bar - The bartenders here definitely know how to make pouring drink entertaining.
Ship portraits - Because we were traveling with a group of 18, we pre purchased the photo package so we got all 101 photos taken by the ship photographs. We posed for the portraits we had made fun of on previous trips and got some great group shots.
