As I write, from the pool deck of the Elvis Cruise, I couldn’t be more proud. As a team member of this cruise, it’s nice to see our labor to come to its fruition. In spite of Hurricane Ida, we made it happen. A cool 80 degrees out here on the deck, the pool a refreshing dip, the sun shining, and the Elvis tunes serenading our relaxation is, for lack of a better term, pretty rad.
One of the best things has been to see the different “entertainment” on board. I say that in quotations because it’s not our regular cruise. It’s not all music, all the time, but a mesh of music and information about everything Elvis. There are almost as many Q & A sessions as there are musical. I’m finding that I know Elvis more intimately than I ever thought possible. Which is what I think our guests wanted, and I hope we have delivered to everyone as much as myself.
As this is our first stab at the Elvis Cruise, there have been a few kinks. I’m not going to lie, it hasn’t been perfect. But not everyone’s perfect, right? We’re working on ironing out the issues, and I’m confident that the bumps in the road are not going to halt our amazing journey. In fact, I predict smooth sailing from here on out. So with about two days left to go, I’m excited to see what’s ahead. Yes, of course, I know the schedule, but I’m excited to see more of the Elvis Tribute Artists, more of the first hand experiences with the king, and more of that hip swiveling rock ‘n’ roll. And I can’t say just yet, if there is another Elvis Cruise in our future, but I can say that if there is, you’ll see me right here on this deck, enjoying every last second of it.
