A Diva's Vacation - Part 7

No one enjoys dinner and a show quite like the retirees.  And when you travel during 'retiree season' you'll find that tickets to 'dinner and a show' are surprisingly difficult to acquire.  However, while picking up our tickets to the Legends in Concert show, we just managed to get tickets for Pirates Voyage, a buccaneer themed theater production.

We gathered in the 'town square' for some pre-show entertainment, including pirate themed Christmas songs, frosty drinks with rum in them, and a performing sea lion...

...who had more talent than some actors I could name.

Once we were allowed into the main arena we found our seats and got a look at the stage for that evening's show.  

The ship of the Emerald Pirates.

The Ship of the Scarlet Pirates.

The ship of Captain Scrooge.  Yes, Scrooge.  Well...it was a Christmas show.

The evening was actually very entertaining - think Medieval Times but with water and mermaids instead of sand and horses.  There was tumbling, diving, sword fights, stealing and cheating (because PIRATES) and a live Nativity...because it was a Christmas show.  There were macaws, sea lions, a donkey, flocks of ducks, three camels (one of whom was NOT ready for the show), a single white dove, and a 'holy' Cabbage Patch Kid.  Oh, and a gigantic animatronic puppet thing that totally creeped me out.
