Broadway Cruise 3

Has anyone been to one of these?

I was on this year's, it was great fun, though you do have to be prepared for some of the performers dropping out, even at short notice (as an old Renthead, I was very disappointed when Daphne Rubin-Vega dropped out only a few weeks before sailing).

You do get your money's worth in terms of concerts and other events, though I wish the concerts had been spaced out more - I missed two performers' concerts due to things overlapping in the evenings. There's also a lot of other stuff like panels, game shows and you could take part in a choreography class with Andy Blankenbuhler and two "stage door sessions" where you could get stuff signed and chat with the performers a little, which felt far more dignified and civilized than the stage door madness on Broadway. Personally I also enjoyed being part of an enthusiastic but (from what I saw) not hysterical crowd of all ages. Several people brought costumes along for a cosplay evening and there were other theme nights as well. I'm happy to have experienced it once, but given the prices, I wouldn't go back any time soon.

About $3000 per person altogether (stateroom, tips, drinks package, etc.) - we did have a very good balcony stateroom though, there are cheaper ones available on the lower decks. The Norwegian Pearl was also a fairly small ship, not one of those huge monstrosities that squish thousands of people together like battery hens.
