After a
successful first-ever Entertainer of the Year cruise this past April
in which comedian Carlos Oscar was named the top entertainer across
the Princess Cruises fleet, the line has now scheduled its second
cruise to determine next year’s winner.
Passengers
aboard the February 9-16, 2013 Valentine’s Day cruise on Crown
Princess sailing the Western Caribbean will cast their ballots to
show their love for their favorite candidate from four finalists.
“Passengers
loved our first Entertainer of the Year competition, especially the
opportunity to see all the finalists on one cruise,” said Jan
Swartz, Princess Cruises executive vice president. “Many passionate
fans were championing their favorites and the final performances
onboard were hugely popular. We can’t wait to see to see who our
passengers pick next year.”

To
narrow down the field in advance of the cruise, the Princess Cruises
entertainment team will select the four top finalists. Finalists will
be announced on Princess’ Facebook page along with video clips so
fans can see the entertainers who are up for the award.
Aboard
the Entertainer of the Year cruise, passengers will be able to see
live performances from each finalist and then cast their ballot for
their favorite. The winner will be announced on the final night of
the cruise at a special party.
The
winner will receive a $5,000 cash prize and will hold the title of
“2012 Princess Cruises Entertainer of the Year.”
