Thank you for sharing and good luck! We’re on Viva in November and very excited about it! 🤩✨

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

Thank you so much! That’s awesome! Can’t wait to perform for you!!

[@pileofstuff]

Congratulations on being part of the inaugural crew! You really must have impressed the powers that be on your last contract. They always want to put their best foot forward for the first crew.

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

Thank you!! We are very proud of landing this opportunity and we are so grateful to everyone who believed in us enough to put us here!

[@Ilikeketchup]

I’m going on the ship on august 10th the first sailing super excited

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

[@jerrydeese4976]

I enjoyed seeing you on the Elation. I'm sure you will enjoy the Viva. We will miss you though.

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

Awww thank you Jerry!! We are so excited about this contract, and we are so lucky to have a job that allows us to meet and make friends from all over the world! Keep on touch, we just may end up on the Elation again someday!

[@bobrigby9325]

Thanks for the video of the Viva and look forward to following your adventure. We loved the NCL Prima & sure we will love its sister ship Viva. Unfortunately, we don’t sail away until March 31, 2024 so we will probably miss you and your lovely wife performing. Congrats again.

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

That is so sweet!! Thank you for this! You will have some incredible entertainment, I’m sure!

[@DanAtEXIT]

Beyond excited for you two! Ready to float along with you.

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

Thank you so much!!

[@stevenponte6655]

Really interesting video. What do you do with your guitar on board the plane? Does it fit in the overhead compartment?

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

My guitars went in the overhead compartment on both of these flights. On our last contract, we flew to Miami and then to Freeport, so on the second flight, in a very small plane, they had to be gate checked. The case is very well suited to flying and can be checked, but I haven’t felt brave enough to try just checking it from the start lol

[@tabathagano1135]

Hi did you have to buy additional seat to travel with guitar 🎸 on plane ? Just curious.

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

Nope, they went in the overhead compartment on both flights!

[@marcelavargas786]

Does the Ncl viva has horns ? my bf is a saxophonist and would like to go. :)

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

This particular ship does not have horns right now, but depending on the needs of the ships in the fleet, he could be on any number of ships. Possibly even the Viva at some point. There could be a duo or band with a horn player, a guest performer, or the needs of the theater band could be different in the future. He should start to look into how to apply for a gig and get his audition material ready if he wants to get on ships!

[@madpanthers53]

will you still be onboard for the November transatlantic sailing?

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

Sure will be!!

[@wondrafuladventures]

How long is your contract?

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

We will be here until January 7th! 5 months!

[@wondrafuladventures]

Will just miss you, we are on in March
