Krew Kapers was the highlight of the day…a
highlight of the cruise! Throughout this cruise, the theater has been more or
less half full most nights – tonight it was PACKED! People really want to see
the crew on stage. Krew Kapers is basically a crew talent show. About half were
solo singers, all ok, but Juan was shockingly great. We are somewhat familiar
with Juan because he is part of the team that runs the tech parts of the shows.
He’s a pretty average Filipino guy, with an average speaking voice, but when he
opened his mouth to sing Josh Turner’s Your Man – WOW, WOW, WOW! I think

have gasped - he was incredible. I felt like I was a judge on The Voice when an
unassuming contestant stepped on stage, and then he started… to sing. If he
could get some time off of the ship, he’d be perfect for Stampede! A terrific
baritone voice.

There were also some group dance numbers and
one solo belly dance. The folks performing this show aren’t the ship’s singers
and dancers, they are the deck hands, the cooks, the room attendants, and the
security people. On their off time, once most of us have gone to bed, they rehearse.
I try to never miss this second last night of the cruise show. I’m always so
touched by them and get more than a bit misty.At the end of the show, as many crew as are available flood the stage for one last wave.

Dinner was with the assistant cruise director,
Patricio, and another couple from Florida. We had a great time, never once
asking each other what we do for a living or if we have kids…it was mostly
about travel, but random other topics too – nice.

The after-dinner guest entertainer show tonight
was another singer, this time a woman. Of all the guest entertainers we’ve seen
for the past 40 days, 3 have been women, hmmm. Anyway, if I had to pick her set
list, I think I could have –
mostly old, one 1934 song. She actually sang an
Adele and a Celine Dion song, so I can’t complain about the age of those, but
good ol’ Regent performers. She had a good voice, was talented but…
