Hugh Cornwell nowadays
After all of the stories you hear about rock stars, I didn't really know what to expect before he arrived but luckily it seemed Hugh’s punk days are long behind him. I briefly met him and he told me he's now solo artist and is actually working on a book, which prompted a rather unusual request: what did we know about Roman archaeological sites around the Greek Islands and North Africa? I can tell you, I don't know a lot!
To try to help him with his book research (and also to wow him), Hugh was taken on a tour up to the Bridge to meet the Captain as we sailed away from Genoa, down to the Club Lounge for a glass of wine, and then on to 'The Bistro' to tuck into one of James Martin’s gourmet creations.
After his slap-up meal watching the sun go down, we then took him outside to watch our aerial deck show ‘Planet’ where he mentioned how impressed he was to see this sort of show on a cruise ship. To be honest, that's what we tend to hear most weeks - Planet is always a big attraction for guests, which is hardly surprising given that it’s performed by acrobats 40 foot above the pools while the ship is moving.

And then Hugh got what most people like to do on their cruises... the opportunity to park up on a sunbed, catch a few rays and get ‘Golden Brown’... Sorry but I couldn't resist that one!
