Can anyone tell me how to find out the entertainment line-up for the Constellation 11 day Caribbean cruise leaving Ft. Lauderdale on Nov. 10? Thanks

The production shows on =X= are usually themed the same. Take off on Vegas/Broadway etc. There will likely be three of those type of shows maybe four. Then there will be another singer usually male., a comedian, Juggler/Magician and seeing that you are 11 days they may throw in an other act somewhere. The Vegas/Broadway type shows tend to repeat ship to ship and even year to year. ( Watch for Joel Grey :) )
I think the only way to actually find out is to find someone that has been on that itinerary recently.

Thanks for the info Bob. I take it you're from BC, Canada. I plan to head out that way next year. Got in-laws in Bellingham, WA. Looking into cruising Alaska. Maybe next September. Looking to go bare bones, wives don't want to go. Any suggestions about that trip?

Have I got idea's ?? You bet.
I assume you will be wanting a piece of the Inside passage to to start you must look at where you want to leave from. 7 Dayer's..... I can only recommend leaving from Vancouver. We left from Seattle this summer and you miss a lot. You need to decide which ports you want to see also as some lines do not go to Skagway and the White Pass& Yukon RailRoad I think is a must see if you are only going to do Ak once.
Bellingham of course is just a hop and a skip from the border so I'm sure your rellies there will have lots of idea's about seeing the countryside around here.
We travel about the Lowermainland of BC and Upper Washington State quite a bit also so when you get down to something specific give me a shout. We have an Alaska /PacNwest forum here also with info you might want to start checking. Check the link above under "Port Information"
and of course the least expensive way to see the real coast is via the Alaska State Ferry system that leaves from Bellingham anyways.. :) (Fairhaven) Bring your tent and put it up on deck. :D

Thanks Bob. You pretty much hit the nail on the head with what we would like to do. I have been on the Alaska State Ferry Website. The schedules are quite confusing. I was also looking into the smaller boats (14 to 20 passengers) they can get into places the bigger guys can't. However they look pretty expensive. Not that I want to go on the cheap, just don't want to pay more and get less. I really appreciate your help. I definitely will touch base with you when the time comes. Also want to get out there and ski Whistler/Blackcomb before the Olympics so that when I watch it on TV I can relate.

John,

You can call a Captains Club representative and tell them you would like to know the list of Headliners for the Nov 11 sailing of Constellation. They will read them off to you, or fax them. They do not know the "crew" entertainment, i.e. guitar players, harpist, etc. Just the headliners.

Do not call regular customer service. They haven't any idea.

Thanks Connie.

I guess it really doesn't matter. We're going no matter who's playing. I was just curious. We haven't cruised in about 10 years and I was wondering if it was the same as then.

I think it's better - for my taste anyway....less "Broadway Productions" (singing and dancing) and more comedy and magic stuff.

The ONLY time it's standing room only in Michael's.......HAVE FUN!!!!!!

ps - he would NOT want to be called a poor man's Liberace....ask him for a miraca.
