Here is Karen’s love boat dream.
Here is mine. 
After dinner we all made our way up to club fusion to play Jeopardized Gameshow. Like trivia you can have teams of 6, so we were all a team. I hate to say we were the loud obnoxious group but we were. Sean and Jorge were the cruise director staff on our side and so we wanted to help them have the loudest side. I have to admit it was lots of fun. It also helped that we were doing good – in fact we got every question right. Then we bet all our money on the final question and got that one right too. Then the announcement of the prizes came – first of all the table with the most spirit – we lost we could not believe it, we by far were the most obnoxious table. But then they announced the winner and it was us. We were told we could not win both prizes, but were really the table with the most spirit as well. Our prize was a bottle of Champaign, which Ally took with her, and we never saw it again. :) It was fun to be the winner.
After Jeopardy was the first heat of Princess Pop Star – the ship’s passenger singing competition. In Alaska it was like pulling teeth to find people to compete, but on this cruise people were coming out of the woodwork and they were good. The first singer was Chantelle and she was good, I mean really good. You could tell she was a professional singer. Once I got home, I found her online and she has quite the story, here is her Wiki entry….
Chantelle Barry is a Perth, Australia-born singer-songwriter and actress best known for being in the original line up of girl group Bardot before departing in sudden and controversial circumstances only weeks after the group was formed on the first season of the Australian version of Popstars.
Rumors in magazines and newspapers suggested that Barry had been caught stealing items from other members (whom at the time were forced to live together) and was ordered to leave the group. Barry remained silent on the issue until 2006, when she appeared on the program Where Are They Now to speak for the first time about the incident, in which she claimed to have accidentally kept member Sophie Monk's money allowance with the intention of giving it back to her, but forgot to do this and was therefore removed from the group. She was replaced by Tiffani Wood in the final line up.
Leaving Australia after the scandal, during the next few years Barry continued making inroads with her music and acting career, appearing in a number of independent films and in small roles on the television series Water Rats, General Hospital, Entourage and How I Met Your Mother. She also placed 3rd in the Song of the Year songwriting contest, and reached the quarter-finals in the Music Nation online music competition. Barry also appeared in a pictorial for FHM in the months after leaving Bardot, and made a more recent appearance for the magazine in 2007.
Barry currently plays the recurring role of Nina, a friend of main character Naomi Clark on the television series 90210.
In August 2009, she officially launched her debut solo album 'Simple Things' in the U.S.
After Chantelle sang her boyfriend Scott Whyte sang Suspicious Minds by Elvis. It was so great, so funny. He did a total Elvis impression and was all over the stage talking to different people and just being entertaining. It ends up he is an actor and has been in several shows and movies. Here is his wiki entry...
Scott Whyte (born January 8, 1978 in Manhattan Beach, California) is an American actor who is best known for his role on City Guys where he portrayed Chris, one of the main characters. He has also appeared in other TV series such as That '70s Show, and Just Shoot Me!, as well as appearing in the films D2: The Mighty Ducks and its sequel, D3, although as different characters.
Whyte has spent his entire life living in the South Bay of California. Whyte, always interested in the arts, has been leaping from one form to the other, having spent time in animation along with playing music, all while maintaining an acting career. Whyte also attended the University of Southern California briefly until he landed a starring role on NBC’s City Guys. Whyte made his film debut in the Mel Gibson/Kurt Russell feature Tequila Sunrise. At age ten, after watching Raiders of the Lost Ark, Whyte figured he could become the next Indiana Jones. But after breaking his wrist swinging from a tree, he set his sights on the goal of becoming an actor, so that he "could do all those fun things and not get hurt." He landed his first part at the age of 13, appearing in a commercial for Pop Tarts, and later appeared in the television series That '70s Show, Just Shoot Me!, The Nanny, Full House, Locals and TNBC's Hang Time, along with hosting the television series Chicken Soup for the Soul, based on the best selling books. His current films include Reeker, The Fallen Ones, Voodoo Moon, All In, and Death Row.
You never know who you meet on a cruise.
Linda was another contestant. She was so cute, so sweet and so nervous. She started singing and she was so quiet and timid. Then her boyfriend Steve ran on stage and started dancing to take the pressure off of her and to encourage her. It totally boosted her confidence and she did much better from that point on. Steve’s dancing left a little to be desired, but everyone thought he was great for helping Linda out.
Marcus was another singing who was such a hoot. He was trying to get the crowd involved and having a great time. Of course there was a person or two who really should not be singing, but over all it was a really talented group. Chantelle won that round and a place in the finals.
After pop star we headed up to Skywalkers, which was really full. The cruise director’s staff was up there and we chatted and hung with some of them for a while. We also spent some time with Linda and Steve.
Here is Karen with Linda and Steve.
Here is Linda, Karen and I. 
It was another fun and late night. :)
