off Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Programmed events for passengers were

able to interact with band members, and see performances on various

stages throughout the ship

EVENT SUMMARY:The Loudest Boat In The World, conquered the high seas. An

international, multigenerational audience from over 30 countries came
