Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted April 13 #1 Share Posted April 13 I saw Ron Goodman's name on a thread and it made me laugh as I remembered all the crew shows that I saw him in his pink tutu during the "if I was not upon the sea" song during the crew show. Used to love seeing all the crew show off their talent. It was always well attended and such a special thing. Great outlet for the crew to have some fun and show off. Princess, please think about bringing it back! 7 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted April 13 #8 Share Posted April 13 One of the last crew shows I saw had CD David Cole. This WAS, by far, the best entertainment on the ship. What a glorious memory on the last night. Too bad it was only one show...too bad it has gone by the wayside. And the best part for Princess...was it cost them little to nothing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Cole was a brilliant cruise director. He made our Hawaii trips so memorable. What a gem! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting comment. I once asked a CD what happened to the crew show. He replied that the problem was that there were too many crew wanting to participate and they all had similar talent making it difficult to be fair in choosing.

Crown Cruiser Posted April 13 #16 Share Posted April 13 I remember the large balloons being hit all over the theater to keep us busy while we waited for the show to begin. On Caribbean Princess, it was James Lay, Lisa Ball and their cruise in the show. We laughed so hard we cried. It was definately a great ending to the cruise.

Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted April 13 Author #17 Share Posted April 13 I remember one bartender, Jonathan, who was on a few of our sailings and would play the Ukulele at night at Crooners on one ship and Vines on another. Everyone would always love it and it was the perfect way to end the night. I'll have to ask Jovie if she knows if he is still around. I know he was in the show one time. I just checked my app for the 4/20 Enchanted sailing and there isn't one listed. 😞 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they should have more! 😄 If they did a few for each sailing, more could participate. I suspect it requires them to take too much time away from their regular duties to rehearse though.

I loved when he would play the ukulele and sing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all these years, it still brings joy and happiness to me when I watch these Crew Directors doing what they do best. Today, I don’t think that department is as well manned. The CD position was divided into front of house CD and back of house ED. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
