P&O Crew’s Got Talent!
Onboard, they refer to themselves as being part of a ‘sea family’ and it was quite clear last night that some members of our P&O Cruises Australia family are hugely talented. Marking another stepping stone in P&O Cruises Australia’s restart of operations, Pacific Explorer hosted the return of its International Crew Talent Show. A great tradition in cruising, crew members from a host of nations took command of the Marquee Theatre for a special ten act show of singing, dancing and musical show. It was a cross between a rousing Australia’s Got Talent and a Royal Variety Performance as crew members from bars and restaurants, reception and accommodation, revealed their talents. Going by the audience participation, guests were overjoyed to welcome their crew back to the stage.
