The Elvis Cruise: Day at Sea

The joyous sounds of Gospel filled the Celebration this Sunday morning as The Jordanaires and The Imperials led us in fellowship with our shipmates. While the stirring sounds of one of Elvis' favorites, "How Great Thou Art," brought everyone to their feet, our sea day hasn't been all seriousness.

After all, what would a day at sea on a Carnival "Funship" be without a party? Today's was the Elvis Cruise T-Shirt Party with complimentary drinks poolside from 1:30 to 3:30. How cool is that, free drinks for everyone wearing their Elvis Cruise T-Shirt! Last night's gift was an Elvis Cruise insulated drink mug--ideal for use at a deck party.

While the cruise is winding down, the action isn't. On tonight's program is the Elvis "Gold"-themed production show and there's a lot going on all afternoon leading up to it--autograph sessions, Elvis Bingo, stage stories with the TCB Band and Joe Guercio, "Driving With Priscilla" remembrances hosted by Jerry Schilling, and another top finalist in the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest performs before dinner. Capping the evening is the final round in our own passenger Elvis Tribute Artist challenge.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Elvis has left the ship... but he'll be back next year on Carnival Fantasy, sailing from New Orleans over Labor Day weekend.

And, as Elvis would say, "Thank you. Thank you very much."
