Missing Zinzinnati
So, with a high concentration of Germans on board, food and beverage decided to have a beerfest on board with our band playing polka/oom pah pah music. It made me miss Cincinnati a bit, reminding me of good nights at the Hofbrauhaus.
This brings up an interesting debate the musicians have been having. Let's say you're from Germany. You decide to fly to Barcelona so you can get on an American cruise line. Do you want the food/music/atmosphere to remind you of home or do you want to experience something different? You can go to a Biergarten and hear live polka music regularly at home. Is that what you want on the ship?
What about me? If I went on a cruise, would I want burgers, pizza, steak, and rock and jazz or do I want to eat and hear new things?
Hard to say. But I do know that when they have baby back ribs on board, it's not like home. I can't imagine what the schnitzel on board tastes like to the Germans.

There is no right answer because it depends on the person. One may want to experience new cultures and new food but need something familiar and safe. People have different comfort levels.
