Beverly and I recently took a 7 day Caribbean cruise, in part a celebration of my birthday on February 18th and hers' on March 11th. We visited Grand Turk, San Juan (Puerto Rico), St. Thomas (Virgin Islands), and Half Moon Cay (Bahamas).
The cruise was a cruise theme and this one was "Soul Train - The hippest trip at sea." It was a jammed packed cruise with lots of events and daily concerts by some of the notable Motown/Soul Train artist. All in all I'd say this was a party cruise. Below is a list of the entertainers:
The cruise was kind of neat in that the entertainers stayed and ate on the ship in the same locations we did. So, you often 'ran' into them throughout the cruise. During our evacuation/fire drill, prior to departure, Frankie Beverly (MAZE), was in our boat group. So, if we had a need to board the life boats, we would have been in the same lifeboat.
Speaking of lifeboats, the ship's lifeboats where manufactured by a company called Harding, go figure that. And the name was prominently displayed on the side of the lifeboats. The Virgin Islands videos shows these lifeboats.
Hope you enjoy the videos. I do not have videos, other than a duet performance by HitZVille, of the live performances since recordings were otherwise not allowed.
