Carnival Cruise lines has been rolling out a bunch of new and branded ™ initiatives lately, to mixed reviews from passengers and crew alike. There is one, though, that I recently participated in, and thoroughly enjoyed: Carnival LIVE.
We had REO Speedwagon onboard this week. I got to meet some of them! I did not take pictures with them, but I watched the concert from backstage. It is by no means the best seat in the house, but with two fights out in the house, it wasn’t the worst.
We had banners all over the ship to sell tickets, and some people were given buttons to wear
The load in was insane! REO by themselves had 44 road cases, and then there were the ones from the production company
That blur there is me, apparently.
Frank had to run one of the spotlights, but got a couple of pictures of the band
I forgot how much I love/hate big load ins π After the concert, we had to load everything out in time to leave Cozumel at 1 am. We made it with about half an hour to spare, I think.
We get to do it all again next month!
