(Click here for our itinerary)

One of the first items to notice in this musically themed ship was this 2-manual harpsichord on display

As we gathered together on our first day at sea, for our first concert at sea, Lieve greeted us and presented an outline of our several activities.

We settled in to ...

... enjoy the Maestro in the first of our four private concerts.

Hector gave Harry some private instruction as well.

And Harry proved how well the instruction went. So the Master Class participants (below) were aware that if Hector can teach Harry ..

... Then these four - shown discussing the Master Class format with Hector for the first of 4 sessions - should go very well.

Dinner time - was also fun time ...

Our Baked Alaska treat served with flair by our dining room crew

As a special treat, Hector was asked, by the ships staff to perform for all of the passengers in the show lounge stage.
