Budding pop stars, rejoice. NBC’s hit TV singing competition “The Voice” is now at sea on some Princess ships, and is rolling out to the rest of the fleet this year. Just how closely does it mirror the real deal? Three team coaches (who might include a guest entertainer or the ship’s captain) sit in “I Want You” chairs, back turned to auditioning performers belting out their favorite tunes, and select team members at the beginning of the cruise. After mentoring sessions and rehearsals, the finalists will perform in a live finale on the last night of the cruise, when fellow passengers decide the winner. Now, if we could just convince celebrity coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, and Christina Aguilera to get on board…
Fee: No additional charge.
