One of the fun things to do on the cruise is entertainment. You have it in the theater, the lounges and etc... I realize that even though the talent is pretty good, I usually don't hear from them outside the cruise ship. There is one sad story. Hate to tell you. Our first cruise there was a singer/comedian named Blair Shannon. He was a really good singer and was pretty funny. Sad was that his wife died 6 months before of Leukemia. Well, I thought I'd check him out before we went on our cruise to see what he's up to. I met him so, I was curious. I found out a couple of years ago he & his girlfriend was in their Miami hotel when an argument was going on outside their room. He stepped out to see whats going on and was shot and killed. Sad. But when his wife died they had a 6 month old daughter. He mainly played the Cruise line circuit. Now back to our time at hand. We had some good talent on the Ruby. We say a great magician named David Cats. There he is above with Laura and Braylee. He did things that you looked and said "What the Heck? How did he do that?"

Then there were the 2 comedians that we liked. There's Carlos Oscar above and Darrell Joyce below. They were in the Explorers lounge. They had a 1-1and a half hour show. They tried to show you how funny life can be. Ask Judy about people under 5' are like?

We really enjoyed the shows. It was a great way to unwind.
