Creator's Key Takeaways

I enjoyed it. I enjoyed getting to go out in the water, see the sea life. Kaying was fun.

It's worth the $70 that we paid to do this. I don't know if I would spend $100.

The show had a ton of different genres of music. Probably a little something for everybody.

The chicken parmesan here on Frame of the Seas was pretty decent. I enjoyed it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to Studio B about a half hour before the ice skating show to get a front row seat.
Make sure you wear water shoes for the kayaking excursion.
Don't bring anything that you're going to be worried about losing in the water.
