One of my friends and I spent years in a band together and we enjoy Karaoke as a memory of how successful we never were, so off we went to explore the Bliss Lounge, which is an incredibly apt name. The place replicates what I imagine is a New Orleans house of the rising sun and even has a private “Champagne Room” at the back near the bowling alley. We always pack 50 or so singles as part of our cruise kit and if a dancer or two had shown up,they’d have been gone in a flash. Bliss indeed.

We don’t normally see a lot of the production shows on a cruise but, since we had two cruise newbs with us, they wanted to go. They learned exactly WHY we don’t usually see the shows on ships. Now to be clear, everything I know about dancing came from watching the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders so I can’t really comment on the talent level of the dancers. However it appeared to me that the show was designed by Phred’s Choreography and House of Pancakes. On the bright side, the musicians were pretty good and at least two singers weren’t refugees from the Karaoke lounge.
