“The Cruise: Fun at Sea” docks in Sardinia this Thursday, bringing with it a mix of Mediterranean sunshine, ancient Roman history, and the ever-present pressures of keeping a luxury cruise ship afloat. As Valiant Lady arrives in Cagliari, the capital of Italy’s Sardinia island, the episode follows both crew and passengers as they experience the port’s offerings.
For Sharmaine from Birmingham, the day begins with a high-energy 90s boyband dance class. We’ll see if her newly acquired moves hold up later during Scarlet Night. Meanwhile, Shore Things manager Nico juggles the logistics of coordinating various shore excursions, ensuring smooth sailing for the guests venturing onto dry land. Back on board, Entertainment Technical manager Luke battles persistent sound problems as he preps the ship’s 13 live performance areas for the evening’s festivities. Not exactly a relaxing Mediterranean getaway for him.
As some seek refuge from the Sardinian sun, Arizona couple Kathleen and Steve choose to explore Cagliari’s ancient Roman underground ruins, giving the episode a touch of historical intrigue. And throughout it all, we’re reminded that “The Cruise” is about more than just glamorous destinations; it’s about the people who make the experience happen, both on and off the stage. “The Cruise: Fun at Sea” airs Thursday, April 10 at 4:00 PM on 5.
