We completed our campaign of The Crew today. At one point in the Schooner a fellow pax stopped as he passed our table to ask if we were familiar with the sequel. In the MDR our assistant waiter (James) is MIA as he’s sick. Keyshelee is working alone (assisted ad hoc by other staff) but the pace definitely suffers as a result. For the next couple of nights dinner will actually take about 15 minutes longer than our usual 45 minutes.

The Production Show tonight was “Tango Buenos Aires”, which I personally thought was the best of the three Production shows. Turns out Tango BA is a 3rd party show that has contracted out to Royal for years, being one of their most popular shows. Tonight’s show was the last one on Brilliance this time around. I did wonder how many times during rehearsal the female dancer had kicked her partner in the Oompah Loompahs – there were a LOT of flailing legs between the crotch.
