Cruising Paradise: Above and Below Deck
Season 1 Episode 5
The Star Princess reaches the end of her 28-day Caribbean voyage, dropping anchor in Belize at the second attempt after weather scuppered the first. With just 48 hours until their opening night, the new entertainment cast are deep in rehearsals while the outgoing cast, including Adam, Cassie and Lexie, grab a last hurrah snorkelling with sharks and stingrays before their contracts end. Best friends and travel YouTubers Ronan and Alex take an airboat tour through Belize's mangroves in search of wildlife, and fitness instructor Caitlin and her boyfriend, crew manager Edgar, make the most of a rare shared day off, snorkelling the reefs of Roatan in Honduras. Back on board, cruising rookie Zahra battles opening night nerves, leaning on assistant dance captain Mia and a video call home to her nan for support ahead of her professional stage debut. As the new cast take to the stage for the first time, Cassie helps talk Zahra through a nerve-wracking quick change, and by the final bow, the exhausted dancers know they've pulled it off, before Star Princess sails home to Fort Lauderdale to complete her voyage
