Arguably a premiere event of Holland America’s Dancing With The Stars: At Sea Champion’s Cruise, stars from the popular television show took the stage, performing two shows for passengers on board Nieuw Amsterdam.* As with other events on the dance-themed sailing, the ship’s showroom filled early, guests with high anticipation for what they were about to see.* I doubt that any came away disappointed.
The entertainment element of a cruise vacation is just one part of the experience.* Some like it and look forward to attending as many performances as possible.* Other can take it or leave it, caring more for other options both on and off the ship.* Still, offer a cast of world-class entertainers, include it in the price of the cruise and even those who might have sworn off cruise ship shows in the past will give it a try.
Indeed, a number of passengers on our sailing had booked for the itinerary, an unusual one that included Key West.* One couple told me early in the voyage that “the price was rightâ€, confirming the enduring value of a cruise vacation.* Foodies liked this and other Holland America Line ships for the culinary element and were here to learn new skills in Nieuw Amsterdam’s display kitchen.* But then there was Angela from Germany who told me she came all that way specifically for the Dancing with the Stars element.
Stars performed for a bit over an hour, dancing unique routines, often alongside the ship’s crew dancers. On any other sailing, throw in just one of the stars who performed as Nieuw Amsterdam made her way to Cozumel through rough seas and we would have called it a huge entertainment win.* But make that a half-dozen of the stars that fans onboard had seen on television, rooted for to win and had become saddened when they didn’t, put it in the unique environment of a cruise ship and it does not get much better than this.
Seen in this photo gallery and now personally connected to passengers on board Holland America Line’s Nieuw Amsterdam for life, we see Derek Hough, Tristan MacManus , Kym Johnson , Sabrina Bryan, Carson Kressley , Sharna Burgess , Emma Slater and Joey Fatone.* We will follow each and every one when we get back home.* Watching a TV show, movie, the news or reading a newspaper, when their name comes up, those of us lucky enough to be on board this sailing will remember the night we saw them perform live on a cruise ship.* Many thanks to Holland America Line for providing this unique opportunity to see stars perform.
