On February 24, 2013, some of Kris' most dedicated fans set sail from Port Canaveral, Florida to the Bahamas aboard the Carnival Sensation to enjoy concerts by Kris, Danny Gokey, Jamar Rogers (the Voice) and Two Story Road (country duo). The cruise benefits Danny's foundation, Sophia's Heart.
Saturday morning brought a whole bunch of "woot flying to Florida!!!" tweets as people arrived in Orlando to spend the night before departure, and it was fun to watch the flail. You'll recognize names from our Out Alive tour lists. For those wondering, cruising with Kris will be his manager, Sean aka Big Daddy, and Cale. Of course, when on the seas, tweeting will probably not be doable (no connection) but hopefully we'll get updates when they are in port.
According to this post on MJs, the schedule is:
Sunday 2/24: Danny performs with Jamar and Two Story Road
Tuesday 2/26: Kris performs with Jamar and Two Story Road
Wednesday 2/27: Both Kris and Danny perform
Wishing a happy, relaxing and fun adventure to all on the cruise! We'll update this post through the cruise as info comes in.
Highlights based on list tweets:
Thursday 2/28:
The cruise has docked back safely in Florida with only one minor international incident involving Kris and Cale, and the cruisers brought us these goodies:
- Kris singing Land of Smiles on Tuesday via @ArtistSupporter
- Wednesday set list (partial?): Faith medley, Out Alive, Killing Me Softly and with the other performers: Here I Am to Worship and Signed Sealed Delivered
- Also, Wednesday night, they set up a little gathering to watch Idol together w/ commentary from Kris, Danny and Jamar.
- Lots of great pictures now being tweeted by our list.

- Amazing set list during Kris' performance! The request songs (there were three in the end) were Land of Smiles (with Kris on guitar!) and Running (off Brand New Shoes) and Love Too Much (an unreleased demo from the KATA era). Full set included BWY, AWM, WAYA (aka Amy aka the song for Newtown), Fighters, LYA, Monster, LLWD and STD. Will be doing the usual set list post and linking it here once we get the video!
