PalmDeserter Posted January 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I sailed with them on the old, small Royal in 2007. They were quirky and great fun..especially their trivias. Does anyone know if they are still working for Princess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkacruiser Posted January 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2018 1986 Christmas Cruise on the Royal Princess, San Juan to Acapulco: Alan and Alana were part of the Entertainment Team, not Cruise Directors at that point of their career. They performed in an area of the ship that was comparable to the modern ships' Atrium. (Can't recall the name of the venue, but do recall a large photo of Princess Diana on a wall.) With my cruise history, there are very few individual entertainers or Cruise Directors whom I remember. But, Alan and Alana are among them!

May have been another Royal Princess Cruise. Yes, that cruise was the original Royal Princess. The Christmas Celebration included a live evergreen strapped to the ship's mast. This, I think, was a very traditional shipboard celebration of the Holiday that I have not seen repeated. I'll never forget this experience and sight. Crossing the open deck from the Horizon Lounge to the forward superstructure to return to our staterooms on late Christmas Eve, we passed Crew Members heading towards a Party in the Horizon Lounge who wished us a "Merry Christmas". Looking towards the Mast, there was the tree strapped to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted January 23, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 23, 2018 We saw them as entertainers on several Princess ships, but their contracts were not renewed five or more years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
