SPARKLE DUO - Duo - Manchester, North West England Event Location: Hull Event Type: Vacation 12th January 2020

We went on the mini cruise and sparkle were playing. Absolutely incredible. The highlight of the night was they created that much energy that the drunken Englishman managed to kick his leg in the air every 3 seconds for 2 hours straight. Everyone was up dancing and the “Islands in the Stream” number had me welling up.

"Dear friends, I have just filled out a comment card praising how wonderful your music was and just how much we, the passengers, really loved your music. How you had us up and dancing at our age is no mean feat. I meant every word. Meeting you and spending time listening to you perform and talking to you was the highlight of my trip. As I told Carnival, I hope to see you again, and again and again. I wish you all the best!"
