Amazing act I really enjoyed watching. I'm not sure I want to be on a cruise with an incendiary device, but I'm sure he has many other wonderful acts I would love to see. :rolleyes:

 

Just in case RCCL missed it, I sent their employment office an email back at the time I first spotted the the story. You never know. If the right person hears about it, they might get in touch with him. :)

Thanks all!!!

 

Kari, you nailed it! "That's cool! You never know what words children hear and really take to heart!"

 

 

I guess it is ok to put the links to both rounds???

 

Chicago audition:

 

 

Vegas round: This round I had no idea what he had planned. I thought he was riding the unicycle and doing machetes blindfolded... that all...LOL...

 

 

I do want him to finish college but I guess there will be time for that later?!

Impact a RCCL cruise made on my sons life choices!!

 

My son David Ferman was on Adventure of the Seas in Sept. 2002. He was 8 years old and got pulled up on stage for the Wilde and Hanes show. On stage the guys told him that one day he too could become a stunt juggler and go on cruise ships to perform.

 

To an 8 year old this was a dream come true. David came home and a week later found himself in time out in his room. He picked up some balls and started to practice thinking that some day he could be a performer and live on a cruise ship. He taught himself how to juggle. His dad did some juggling so David knew how to start his quest.

 

Now David is 19 and plans to live his dream for real. He still wants to work cruise ships but also have a Vegas show too. David made contact with Hanes/ Haines to tell him of the influence that trip on stage had on his life. Then at the Chicago audition for Americas Got Talent, Sean Haines showed up and now they are friends. David is continuing his quest started on Adventure of the Seas with his audition in Chicago and then in Vegas and now moving on to Radio City Music Hall. All this was because of one cruise on Adventure of the Seas back in 2002!!!!

 

America's Got Talent even aired a shot of him on stage with the Adventure of the Seas curtain in the background when he was 8 years old.... How cool that one cruise can direct a kids life ambitions!

 

I hope you don't mind me sharing a Royal Caribbean story that has impacted my son's life.....

 

What a wonderful story! Congratulations to David! Hope to see him on stage on a crusie ship.:)

What a great story! Pass it on to Adam Goldstein.

Best of luck to your son in his career. Hope to see him on RC soon.

 

I actually took your advice and contacted Adam Goldstein with an email on a Sunday morning. Ten minutes later I got a return email from Adam Goldstein saying he was passing my story on to his assistant and wanted to hear more.

 

I wrote up the story and I got to be a guest blogger on his blog. Here is the link.....
