All aboard!

During Thanksgiving Week, the 13th annual Four Seasons Party Cruise sailed from the shores of Miami with Freddie McGregor, Marcia Griffiths, Mikey Spice, Dwight Pinkney, DJ Carlton and tons of music lovers who were ready for fun and frolic on the high seas. With day stops in Grand Cayman, Isla Roatan, Belize and Cozumel, the Carnival Valor, which holds over three thousand people on board, with casinos, bars and clubs to delight each guest, lived up to all its promised and more.

After each day trip to a different island/country, the party was then back on the ship with the Four Seasons group hosting a party each night to surprise and delight each guest that had booked specifically with them. Even other guests who had not booked through the group was begging to party with us.

Dwight Pinkney, with his smooth grooves and melodic sounds, opened up the festivities on Sunday night to welcome everyone on board. DJ Carlton, with his energetic demeanor and magical fingers on the one’s and two’s, then took over during the day as everyone, moved to the Electric Slide as the ship rocked from side to side.

Reggae Queen, Marcia Griffiths, a surprise addition to the festivities, wooed the crowd with her old and new tunes on Tuesday night. Mickey Spice also took to the stage that night and could not help but jam on her set as well.

Then came the night of all nights with ‘Mr Big Ship’ Freddie McGregor, who took to the mike on the Friday night and who vowed not to leave until his shirt tail got wet. From Big Ship Sailing on the Ocean, To Be Poor Is A Crime to all his lover’s rock tunes and special requested songs from the crowd, Freddy was in charge and tore the place down. Backed by the energetic and dynamic Bare Essentials Band from Jamaica, the party went on and on and did not stop.

When the ship docked in Miami on its final day, there were many teary eyes as revellers realised that they would be leaving each other to go back to their everyday lives.
