CHERRYHOLMES
We are proud to have Cherryholmes back
with us once again! Pure talent! Their stage shows are strong as each
family member takes center stage with their incredible show of
musicianship and vocals. A great crowd pleaser and a group not to miss! |
JOSH
WILLIAMS BAND
Josh Williams is a unique and extremely
versatile and talented performer. He is considered by many to be the most
formidable male vocalist in the Bluegrass/Acoustic music business. Josh is
known to some as one of the finest guitar players to come along in a long
time. ETA looks forward to having them on board with us in 2010! |

MARK
NEWTON with THE STRINGTONES
Mark Newton has been a long-staying name
with the ETA Bluegrass Cruise and we are thrilled to have Mark back with
us along with his new band, The Stingtones! Each member of the Stringtones

bluegrass sounds! Presently working on his next CD, Mark will be touring
in a city near you. Check 'em out!

GARY
WALDREP
The Gary Waldrep Band hails from a little
community called Kilpatrick, nestled in the Northeastern corner of
Alabama. The band performs with a traditional sound spiced with original
songs and old standards, making them a favorite with acoustic music lovers
across the country. This is Gary's first cruise and we are thrilled
to have Gary with us.

offering several alfresca dining options, entertainment and more!

Warm sunrays and flying acrobats - it all takes place
center stage at the AQUA THEATER! Pool area by Day, Theater by night! As
the sun sets, lounges become theater seating. You'll be able to trade in your
suntan lotion for evening cocktails and water acrobats mesmerizing audiences
with high-diving aerial shows. You'll be dazzled by the water shows, set against
the backdrop of the ocean and horizon, under a star lit sky! Six decks of
balconies will be available that overlook the theater or Boardwalk!

The Royal Promenade neighborhood continues as the heart of the
ship featuring Rising Tides Lounge, a lighted bar that ascends and descends over
three decks, shops, restaurants, entertainment coffee shops, pubs and more! A
portion of the inside promenade is OPEN TO THE SKY!

Dedicated to family fun and nostalgia, the Boardwalk
neighborhood offers casual restaurants, including Johnny Rockets®, the Seafood
Shack, a coffee and donut shop, bars, candy shop and more! Introducing
one-of-a-kind and the first ever Carousel at sea!

THERE'S MORE UNIQUE PLACES!
RISING TIDE BAR - Like to ocean's tides, the Rising
Tide Bar moves slowly up and down between 3 decks, moving guests from
indoors to outdoors. Stop off in Central Park and then end up at the Royal
Promenade.
ZIP LINE - Strap on your sense of adventure and enjoy
an exhilarating trip while suspended nine decks above the Boardwalk! Imagine the
view! Go one end to the other end of the Boardwalk!
ATLAS BRIDGE - A unique focal point of the Royal
Promenade is the Atlas Bridge, an impressive world globe, sculptured in
shining metal. The globe unravels to reveal un awe-inspiring platform suspends
10 feet high during festivities!
