A DAUGHTER'S 35 YEAR SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH

After one day at sea, I actually had to pinch myself to remember I was not on land.

There wasn't even a gentle movement. I sat through a performance of Back to the Future, the Musical, performed with a full cast and 16-piece band in a 1400-seat theatre and left thinking I was actually in the West End. But it's not the only show in this oceangoing town.

Torque, a spectacular featuring champion swimmers and divers, packed them in at the AquaTheater to see the aquabatics involving a 55ft waterfall and two 60ft diving platforms.

There are thrills and spills on ice with a huge skating cast, including Olympians, in the show Sol.

Stars of this show were extreme skaters, former roller skaters who switched to the ice. There's even a version of the TV Show The Price is Right where you can win a car.

The ultimate family room was an incredible sight with a kiddie slide, video games, personal access to decks and Jacuzzi and stairs which look like and play like piano keys.
