Cruisers Rave About Princess Cruise Line's Outdoor Movies


To make the experience fit the Princess Cruise Line style, ship officials decided to go overboard (so to speak). Passengers can make complimentary chaise lounge reservations for available features. At evening viewings, comfortable cushions and blankets are placed on the lounge chairs. Additionally, cocktail specials are available as well as free popcorn and other movie munchies. Would you rather do dinner theater? Poolside casual dining is also available.

There is no smoke, as buildings are healthily smoke-free, but students still wonder what goes on back behind those doors. One of my past students told me one time that he knew what we did in 'there'. 'You teachers sit in there and eat candy all day!' I canft deny that there sometimes is candy, usually Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, or Easter leftoverscgee, I guess we do eat candy a lot! The name 'Teachersf Lounge' brings to mind a vision of teachers reclining in chaise lounges, a cold drink in hand, reading magazines or books while listening to soft music. An alternative vision might be a bar with a mirror, the principal serving exotic drinks named 'ISTEP-Sling, PL221 Collins, or Curriculum Mary. As you might see, the name of the place where teachers go would be more aptly named The Grab and Snarf or The Fourteen Minutes of Adult Conversation Place (or FMACP for those of you who prefer acronymns.) Usually the teachers rush in, gobble down their lunches, talk to the others at the table, then rush on to guard duty or back to their classes.

Outdoor cruise movies sounds great! I'd like to see an image of the setup, curious as to where they project the movie.
