Cruise For Beatles Fans

Jon Perry (On the Royal Caribbean Allure Of the Seas) Feb. 4, 2015 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/njr/Paul%20McCartney%20and%20The%20Beatles/IMG_0420_zpsrnlphmkx.jpg Tonight is a dance party with them (Beatlemania Live) playing. It's our last night of the cruise.
Back to the real world tomorrow! -
Nice, Nancy! Tell us more when you get a chance. Believe it or not, I watched that ship sail out of the harbor last weekend, but I had no clue it was a Beatles cruise. I'm not down there now, or I would try to meet you!

Cool! There were only about 60 of us fans, although Beatlemania Live was the headliner. They played just for us twice. Last night was the Dance Party. The ship (for all passengers to enter) had a Beatles music trivia contest (Guess the song) Of course me & my friend Jennifer got all 15 correct (we each won a Royal Caribbean pen!)
We told the "host" of the contest he could play 20 seconds of 200 Beatles songs and we'd get them all correct! -
I was on a cruise several weeks ago, over New Year's, that had a Beatles tribute band on it called the Beatle Maniacs. Here's a video that seems to be from the week before I saw them (this guy says he was on the Christmas cruise), but this is what it was like on stage in the theater.
Not bad, even with Paul not being left-handed, and Ringo's drum solo sounding nothing like Ringo! But they were much better playing right in the middle of the ship, among the bars and shops and restaurants. They did mostly early stuff and they had people dancing all around them, of all ages. I found it very touching to see the joy in people's faces who were clearly re-living their youth and being very energized by it. -
I'd go on a Beatles cruise. But I'd be worried about too many Yellow Submarine references.

Funny, there were none on the 3 Beatles cruises I've been on. -
Did they at least paint the boat yellow?

Well....the lifeboats are all yellow and look like submarines!

And he told us of his life in the land of lifeboats.
