Saturday night’s We Fancy  (2 September 2024) on board Resilient Lady marked the final performance for Abi the Hostess as part of Resilient’s first Happenings Cast. With all of the other Happenings roles being replaced toward the end of August, Abi’s departure makes the transition to the second cast complete.

The inaugural Happenings Cast helped launch Resilient Lady on her MerMaiden Voyage in Greece on 14 May 2023, with some familiar faces that have become mainstays on cruise-related social media like Alejandro the HypeJake the Foodie, Titty Kaka the Diva and of course, Abi the Hostess.

Coming from a variety of land and sea-based entertainment backgrounds, Happenings Cast 2 will be perfectly suited to help guide and entertain sailors as Resilient makes her way through Dubai, Singapore and Bali on her way to Australia and New Zealand later this year. Happenings Cast 2 will be leaving at the end of February 2024.

A Heartfelt Sendoff

The second Happenings Cast boarded Resilient Lady in Bodrum, Turkey on 9 August 2023 and shadowed the inaugural cast, they made their debut on the Greek Island Glow sailing on 20 August 2023. The second cast will remain on board until early March 2024. The original cast bid farewell to sailors through a showcase of social media posts and stories, having fostered a bond between themselves as a group and the many sailors they have welcomed over the past few months.
