Obviously, I didn't edit out the Iraq comment that fast enough... :) I have Iraq on my brain sometimes... :) If I were an actor and fairly good at my job, and I was offered a job on a cruise ship where I had to clean the toilets or on a cruise ship were everything I was doing was at least...

I give up. You win.... :) :) :)

Well, it would matter to me if the performers weren't treated like performers.

Also, the ratio of cruise staff to cruisers is 1 staff member for every two cruisers.

Honestly, Disney performers are a bit higher class than on cheaper cruise lines. I'm sure "chores" are within the entertainment field. I'll ask the cast member that I know but I really think the job categories are very carefully designed. If you serve meals, you do that morning noon and night...

Entertainers that live aboard the ship do lots of different entertainment things, like for small groups or kids, etc. Some do character appearances. Like Peter Pan on stage is the same Peter Pan who does appearances on the ship. I seriously doubt entertainers clean the decks as "chores"...

Also, if I were going to make the show better, I would include more skits where it appeared that Kermit were talking to another Muppet on another part of the ship. The videotapes did not always have Muppet to Muppet conversation.This would require more effort concerning timing, etc. Similarly...

My opinion after the "guess its just a matter of time" snipe, you mean? LOL It did not receive a large standing ovation. Only a minority of us stood up. I was surprised at the time. While I would not say thunderous applause, i would say it was far more than mediocre. Very loud and sustained...

LOL.... That probably does sound silly without explanation. Food quality being a primary concern on a cruise ship, Disney had to add new menus or food offerings for the 10 and 11 night cruises. Each night has a different menu and most nights even have themes. The preparation of food on cruise...

Disney was debuting a lot of new things on this cruise. New menus, new stage shows, new entertainment of all kinds, new ports of call, etc. etc. I cannot help but believe that these Muppeteers have a bright future ahead.

Great... glad you knew who they were!!!! I gave the DISboard links in case someone wants to post on there asking for more pictures. Surely some members took other pictures. Someone on the board may have even filmed the show. You might post on the current 11 night cruise and ask someone to film...

Thanks for the welcome to the board!!! I'll stick around. I have always been a Muppets fan and seeing them in person has me star struck! :) The pictures I took: http://www.auburnalabama.org/library/muppets.htm I just realized that the gentleman in the red pattern shirt might be the...

I thought Kermit's voice was perfect. There was never a moment that you thought it was not Kermit but someone trying to sound like Kermit. To me this happens a bit with a few Disney characters, so I can be critical in this regard. It was perfect as far as I could tell. I have no film of it...

We were on the Disney Wonder 10 day Southern Caribbean Cruise. The Muppets were absolutely wonderful. The show was based on the idea that Kermit could not get a star to headline the show. The Muppets came on board in the morning from St. Lucia, or the day before from St. Thomas, I'm not sure...
