Harmony of the Seas

This is the "Aqua Theater" where an aerial, dance, water and diving extravanza was an unbelieveable melding of talent and technical marvels I watched the "behind the scenes" video in our cabin before the performance The stage actually descends to a pool deep enough for high divers perched at the top of the photo at left This engineering marvel allows for dancers as well as water ballet Aerial acrobats and high wire performers compete for our attention We truly did not know where to look first.

There were 2 ice shows during the cruise Imagine the stability of a ship that allows overhead lifts and triple jumps while sailing at sea.


	The show advertized at left was so impressive that I didn't even take any pictures I didn't want to miss anything

Back at the Royal Theater we saw a performance of Columbus the Musical A comedy in the genre of "Spamalot" it traced the exploits of Christopher's distant relative Somewhere online there must be a photo of the FIVE TON sailing ship that rotated a full 360 degrees AND opened to serve as a set for the interior of the ship River City Productions and the stage crew deserve applause as well as the talented cast
"Grease" is one of my favorite musicals and this production did not disappoint The cast did a great job from Rydell High to Greased Lightning

There were opportunities to meet cast members and ask questions (left to right) Two dancers from the Aqua Show, Eugene and Rizzo from Grease, Two ice skaters

A similar opportunity with the top officers and cruise director	This is Captain Gus


We almost skipped the "Headliner" Show but were VERY glad we didn't While the introductory video began with photos of ventriloquists of the past, it continued with the international career of the evening's star Ron Lucas who truly deserves the title "The World's Greatest Ventriloquist He and "Buffalo Billy" were fantastic and hilarious, but his routine with a "human puppet" a volunteer from the audience was really amazing
