how to create a production show for a cruise ship stage! // INSTALL on Ovation of the Seas 🌊🛳️

[@araeofsunshine9435]

Never again will I see a show and not think of the amazing amount of work it takes to put it together! Kudos to you and your castmates! Well done and thank you for sharing!!!!! ❤

[@AmandaMolly]

That is how I felt during my cruise back in January. I watched all the shows and was in awe and because of people like Kristine and other dancers who show behind the scenes of the ice shows and stage shows I am highly impressed. I was happy I got to watch show girls on Navigator of The Seas. It was a show I was dying to watch. These group of dancers/singers are highly talented to work on a moving boat.

[@kristinekugler]

That is so kind!! Thank you! It’s one of the reasons I love making videos to show people behind the scenes of the shows!

[@kristinekugler]

Thank you so much for watching and supporting! I’m glad you enjoyed those shows! 💘💘

[@annmareefromtaree]

I was in the audience for the opening night of Legs and it was one of the highlights of the cruise. Bravo!

[@kristinekugler]

Yay!! Thank you so much! ❤️🥰

[@robbieg416]

I am so glad I found this channel. I got to see a few seconds of Kristine on stage, and someone was belting out "Place in this World," which is my favorite Christian song.

[@kristinekugler]

Aww I love that song!! Thank you! 😊

[@edmondchiu000]

The show last night was absolutely amazing,👏

[@kristinekugler]

Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed! 🥳

[@erichflynn8720]

Awesome Video!! Really neat behind the scenes video. As a cruise guest we never get to see all the hard work that goes into the prep for a show. We just see the final product. Can't wait to see this show. Thanks for the amazing insights. See y'all in September.

[@kristinekugler]

So true, that’s why I love making these behind the scenes videos! Glad you enjoyed! 🥰

[@DennisandLesliesTravels]

We’re enjoying the updates! We will be joining your ship on April 3rd, and stay on for 37 days, all the way to Vancouver!! See you soon!!

[@kristinekugler]

Amazing!! Hope to see you soon!! 💘

[@RobertHansenRob]

[@whimsicaldreamsYT]

I was just on the ship from the 9th of feb and loved watching LIVE LOVE LEGS!!!

[@kristinekugler]

[@badpinktink100]

[@kristinekugler]

Aw that’s amazing, enjoy your vacation!

[@TonyHessen]

Saw Live Love legs the other night & can’t wait to see beautiful dream. The amount of work you guys put in comes across in such a spectacular way. Thank you for the hard work & the results are outstanding.

[@129jso]

I'm so excited that you're on the Ovation of the Seas!! I was on the ship back in 2019, when I took it to Alaska!! This is so fun, because I saw both of these shows on the boat at that time too!! I'm loving these behind the scenes looks!! 💜😍 Thank you for sharing!!

[@kristinekugler]

Aww that’s amazing!! Glad you enjoyed the behind the scenes! 🥰

[@ReeseBrown-v3n]

A great insight into the install. Looks like you all are having a great time. Hope it’s all going well for ya😊

[@kristinekugler]

Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy them! 🥰

[@steppenwolf53]

That was fun to watch! 6 days jammed into one vid, worth the wait.

[@kristinekugler]

Aw amazing! Thank you for watching!

[@timothycheuvront8284]

How fun! Thanks for sharing!

[@kristinekugler]

Thanks for watching!

[@jamescarbonaro596]

Wow!! Kristine "Beautiful Dream," looks like an amazing show and story,,,,, would love to see someday...Exhausting watching all of the cast preparing for opening night... BTW has anyone from (cast# 3) Odyssey join you on the Ovation cruise? Best of Luck with opening night and all the shows... 😊💃🚢

[@kristinekugler]

Thank you! Yes I hope you’re able to see it one day, it’s a beautiful show! Yes there’s 5 other dancers from my Odyssey contract on my current contract!

[@ryanm7249]

Thanks for taking us along for install. Were those actual musicians and singers live or was it pre-recorded? What about this tug boat? Best of luck!

[@kristinekugler]

We have a live band in Live Love Legs but a prerecorded track for Beautiful Dream! And the singers are always live :)

[@slf994]

very cool

[@baconeggs3184]

Great video! 2 questions- why the masks and also what caused the cancelled Auckland ports? Rough seas?

[@kristinekugler]

One of our cast mates was sick so we were taking precautions and there was a problem with one of the lifeboats and we weren’t allowed to port.

[@virginiamartin2758]

Wow, crazy that you have to push heavy props around! What would make a ship not dock, like not docking in Auckland?

[@kristinekugler]

Could be! But in this case there was an issue with one of the lifeboats? I’m not positive as I do not work on that side of ship operations!

[@Frans42]

Interesting. I thought you’d just take over an existing show run. Drop in replacement so to speak. Must be a lot of work and sweat dancing in all those layers! Fun sorta ballroom dancing with twirls I’ll guess. Wishing you lotsa fun dancing through the audience. Looks like a bunch of people to be ‘stuck’ with for months on a ship😊

[@kristinekugler]

Glad you enjoyed some of the behind the scenes! Yes I’m so thankful for this bunch of people ☺️☺️

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

Ive always wondered and never had anyone to ask until now - Are you guys under a union contract on the ship (AGMA, Equity etc)?

[@kristinekugler]

No :)

[@femmedandy]

I always look forward to your videos. If I may offer some small feedback, the clicking noise between scenes is quite loud compared to the rest of the audio when wearing headphones.

[@stephenmaher1029]

Is your twin in the crew bar the same girl as the last boat or are there 3 of you😊

[@kristinekugler]

Nope same girl! That’s Caitlin!

[@stephenmaher1029]

@@kristinekugler 👍I’m sure you’ve made plenty of new friends in the past few months but it’s nice to have a familiar face around. Are you going to climb the Sydney bridge for us?

[@ApolinariaArt]

You all have laduca shoes? From company?😮

[@kristinekugler]

They’re not Laducas! That’d be amazing 🥹 The brand is called Menscke’s I think! They’re great as well :)

[@seanopalenik]

🥰😍❤❤💋💋

[@leonkinny3982]

Hey kristine . Any indian as a Stage crew

[@theknowledgetree1921]

Please tell . How can one be a part of cruise as a danceer and performancer . All about your journey to be a part of Royal Caribbean the biggest Cruise Company of the world.

[@BrendaBrown-nl1rp]

Why are you all wearing mask??

[@kristinekugler]

One of our cast members was sick so we were just taking precautions! All good now!

[@rlhubert]

Why are you guys having to wear masks again? 😷 Thanks for sharing all the behind the scene fun!😊

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

I was wondering the same! Rehearsing in masks can't be much fun....

[@kristinekugler]

One of our cast members was sick so it was just a preventative measure!

[@elizabeththompson1525]

Can you do a finance video? Do you have to pay to eat at places other than the mess? Do you get free WiFi? Can you have extra jobs on the ship ? Can you accept tips from guests?

[@jodischoolcraft9188]

They get discounts at some restaurants and Wi-Fi is something ridiculous like four dollars an hour and they all have extra jobs

[@kristinekugler]

Great idea! I’ll add this to my list of video ideas! 💘

[@tanyamassey9438]

Wow. Complicated show.

[@Witfrenci]

Great to see your day to day life as a pro dancer 💃 but please why you guys are still using the masks !! Bring back terrible memories 😢…. Love you 🥰

[@kristinekugler]

One of our cast members was sick so it was just a precaution! Thank you for watching!

[@Witfrenci]

Got it in this way it’s understandable ❤️ enjoying your content a lot big hug 🤗

[@christinemanuel4153]

May I ask, what’s with the masks?

[@kristenrichardson698]

Hi! Just curious about the masks…still? Seems like only in certain places. This “dance mom” hates seeing you guys have to dance & breathe in them 😔 in 2024!

[@kristinekugler]

Someone was sick in our cast so it was to prevent an outbreak in the cast!
