When I was on a cruise in the Bahamas I learned of a
tradition that takes place aboard the ships of the Carnival
Cruise Line. Every evening just before the passengers are
finished eating in the main dining room all of the waiters
process out from the kitchen and perform a song and dance
routine. It is their way of entertaining the passengers while
they are dining. This custom began when the very first ship of
the Carnival Cruise Line set sail.

Where learned: FREEPORT ; Grand Bahamas

Subject headings: Ballad Song Dance Game Music Verse -- Social reunion
CUSTOM FESTIVAL -- Street Trip Relations between relatives, friends, host and guest Social class Rank
CUSTOM FESTIVAL -- Measure of time Eating For menu, see N222.

Date learned: 00-00-1992
