B.Y.O.Karaoke

It's our first night aboard the Dragons Pearl. After a 10 course dinner, when the crew learns we’ve not only BOYB (a case of Smirnoff and 8 cases of beer for a 4 night cruise)… but we also BYOK ( brought our own karaoke) – the tables in the dining room were immediately cleared and moved along the walls.  The chairs were arranged, the laptop was setup and Karaoke began.  Our guide Thinh performs Hotel California, which according to him, is the biggest song to come out of the USA.

There was Neil, there was Barry.  There was "On A Boat"... and "Boats and Hoes".  It doesn't take long before we've blown out the dual wireless microphone setup.  But not even that stops this crazy train - we sing well into the night before taking a hint from the one remaining crew members and called it a night.  There would be plenty more time for karaoke.
