THE NEXT BIG THING?
Cruisers who call into Mexico who have
a lot of spare cash and a love of liquor
may want to try the world’s most
expensive ice-block.
The Tequilas Premium Clase Azul Ultra
Popsicle is priced at around AU$1,000,
and is crafted using an exclusive tequila
(priced above $1,000 per bottle), which is
poured into a plastic ice-block mould
along with a few flakes of 24-carat gold.
Cruisers who want to try the iceddelight
had better love the tangy taste of
tequila enjoyed slowly, as no other flavour
(apart from the metallic twang of gold) is
mixed into the ice-block before it is
popped into the freezer to set.
Day-trippers who have spent the
majority of their cash onboard their
respective cruises, but who want to enjoy
the Tequilas Premium Clase Azul
experience, may purchase a single shot of
the premium liquor at the bargain
basement price of AU$400.
THE ULTIMATE CRUISE BAR PIANO MAN!
A nineteen year old British law student,
Samuel Osmond, has made headlines
this week after it was discovered he can
play complicated pieces of music
perfectly after listening to them.
The musical maestro has never had a
piano lesson, but is able to play pieces
such as the highly complex Chopin,
Ballarde No 1. in G Minor, that are
beyond the reach of even some of the
most talented music tutors.
“He’s extraordinary – I have never ever
known anybody with an ability like this –
it’s extremely rare,” said music lecturer
Cecil Du Valle, who has two Masters
degrees in music and still cannot play
Chopin, Ballarde No. 1 in G Minor.
Osmond only discovered his talent two
years ago after he heard Moonlight
Sonata by Beethoven then banged it out
on a nearby piano an hour later.
Although Osmond’s gift would be a
boon to any cruise line wanting to keep
guests entertained with requests in their
late night bars, they may be sorely
disappointed, with the maestro unsure if he will quit law to pursue music.
