My husband and I (Michiganders) were on the Viva in December 2023 and really enjoyed seeing you and Stephanie! We’ll be on the Sun Princess this December, they need the two of you aboard 🚢

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

Thank you so much Kristen! That means a lot!! We won't be on the Sun Princess, but we will be at sea in December! I hope we get to see you two again someday!

That was so much fun - thank you! I'm a pull back the curtain and see how things are put together kind of person, so this was super interesting.

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

@@paulasimson4939 thank you!! So glad you had fun!!

[@darrellgritten4398]

My wife and I enjoy your videos. We sailed on the Viva in January, 2024. Very best wishes to you and Stephanie.

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

@@darrellgritten4398 thank you so much! When in January? Did we just miss you? We were here until January 7th and then came back in March.

[@darrellgritten4398]

@@DavidPaigeMusic You left the day we embarked. We were sorry that we missed you. We would have loved to see you and Stephanie perform. Maybe next time.

I've been hoping for a video like this. Thanks! It's cool to see the differences (and similarities) between theatres on ships and the stages I used to work on.

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

@@pileofstuff so many similarities, and so many differences! What else do you wanna see?

[@pileofstuff]

@@DavidPaigeMusic Well, I'm a bit of a gear head, so if I was directing a video I would want to see more detail of the equipment in the booth. But I doubt that would be interesting to more than 3 people... 😁

[@davegallant7352]

Great that NCL lets you guys show all that! Was nice to meet you last week! You guys sounded great!

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

It was so great meeting you guys!! Thanks for hanging out with us!!

Having worked in the tech end of live music shows for over 30 yrs myself I know there has to be a great story somewhere about the time everything totally glitched out and just went south? It happens to every performer at a certain point no matter who you are. I see countless XLR, DMX, MIDI, cables - c'mon David...tell us one horror story, Bro. 🤔

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

@@jordanblue5630 I happen to know of a few times that happened in the other shows but they’re secondhand tales, and I wasn’t there to know the full story. If I try to tell those stories, I’m sure I’ll miss crucial details. OMF has run really smoothly on this ship every time. There have been a few issues with monitor mixes that have been fixed and one time a cat cable had to be replaced after a frustrating sound check, but nothing catastrophic… …nothing like the time the smoke machines in the theater set off the fire alarm and the entire theater was drenched by the emergency sprinkler system! For this one, Stephanie and I were performing in the atrium, and we saw a hoard of drenched guests come pouring out of the theater, and we got some of the details later. It was still early days for this ship, and the issue that caused this has since been fixed. Still, pretty funny!
