Interesting bit of news crossed my desk today: Princess will be screening Puccini's La Boheme, broadcast live from the Met, on every single one of its ships.

First of all, this is opera. In Italian. Unless I'm on a Med cruise, I really don't care to bother my brain with foreign languages, much less foreign languages that are being sung

Second of all, it's La Boheme, not exactly the most uplifting opera ever.

To be fair, Princess has proved me wrong before. Apparently their decision to show the movie Titanic was a big hit with guests (no pun intended).

Or maybe it's intended to get people off the deck and into the casino.
