**BSB Cruise 2011 - Day 2 - The Perfect Fan Prom Night Deck Party**
Day 2 of BSB Cruise 2011 was definitely the best day for Group B as far as the amount and quality of events went. We had the Beach Party, our Cruise Concert, and then it was time for The Perfect Fan Prom Night Deck Party. We had already discovered that the Prom Queens had been chosen at random, signified by a crown in their goody bags. Needless to say, neither me nor my friends received one. One day one of us will get our special moment with them like that.

We had already discovered that the Prom Queens had been chosen at random, signified by a crown in their goody bags. Needless to say, neither me nor my friends received one.

My prom dress was actually my wedding dress. Back when we thought that one of the theme nights was going to be a white night I had decided that I was going to wear it for that. I thought the Prom Night would be appropriate for it, as well. This was actually my third time wearing it...once for my wedding, once for my sorority formal my senior year of college, and now for the Backstreet Boys. I believe I have now gotten my use out of it. I also noticed that there were some other girls wearing theirs, which I knew going into it through the fan club and Facebook pages.
Because I have worn this dress three times, a clasp had broken off of the halter part. Before going out onto the deck, I had pinned it but the pin kept on popping out. I decided to run back to the cabin to grab more safety pins so that I could fix it better. The Boys had not shown up yet so I figured I had time to do this. As I was heading back up to the Lido Deck, the elevator stopped on the 6th floor, which is the floor that the Boys happened to be on. A Rose Tours staff member was waiting to get on and signaled for me to get off. I thought that he thought I was getting off on that floor and was just being polite. I told him that I was going up. He then said to me that he needed me to get off of the elevator. Recognition dawned on my face...the Backstreet Boys were coming and I relunctently stepped off of the elevator. Kevin was the first to walk by, looking especially handsome in his classic tux. Next came Howie, Nick, AJ, and Brian. I can't remember then if I bolted up the stairs or waited for the next elevator. Whatever I did, I arrived to the deck before the Boys did and exclaimed to the girls that I had just been kicked off the elevator because of BSB. I gave them a rundown of what each Boy was wearing and we quickly fixed the problem I was having with my dress. We all looked so gorgeous all dressed up. The Boys finally came out and also looked very nice. As I mentioned previously, Kevin was dressed in a classic black tux. Nick and AJ were dressed as Lloyd and Larry from the movie Dumb and Dumber. Howie was dressed in a snazzy, white, very Miami appropriate suit. Brian and Leighanne matched in turquoise.
The Boys decided that since Group B had gotten to hear Kevin sing during our concert, that they should do a song for everyone. For the third time on the cruise, Group B was going to get to hear and see Kevin perform with the group! Watching him through all of these songs makes it seem as if he never left...The video is really dark because the lighting at the deck parties was just not good. However, you can still hear their gorgeous voices...

"I Still"
The Perfect Fan Prom Night
After this performance, the Prom Queen winners were announced. The Prom Queens had received a tiara in their goody bags, and even Kevin had a Prom Queen. The Boys met their Queens over on the center stage and they danced to "The Perfect Fan." Kevin's trained ball room skills were displayed and the rest of the guys decided that they wanted to be a little goofy with it.
Prom King and Queen Dance
This deck party seemed highly focused on those Prom Queens, with very little interaction after that with the rest of the fans. The guys did the electric slide and the YMCA on the stage with the Prom Queens. Once the rest of the guys left the deck party, Howie started partying it up in the VIP section. Kevin must have been up there too because he came out to wave to the group of girls who still happened to be out on the deck partying. My friends and I decided that maybe we should go down to the 3rd deck, where he would have to debark and see if we couldn't get a chance to snatch a photo. We rushed down the stairs, floor by floor. When we got down to the 3rd deck, there were maybe five other girls who must have been just as smart as us. Kevin came out of the elevator and greeted us all. Many of us got our photos, autographs, or whatever it was that we were wanting. My photo turned out a little blurry (I was the last one to get my photo as we was literally getting off the ship) but is still recognizable. The fact that I am in my wedding dress and he is in a tux makes this photo very unique. I'm not sure very many other girls can claim they have a picture like that.

After seeing Kevin off, we saw that Howie was still partying hard out on the deck. It was late....again...and we did not know when he planned on leaving. We noticed two or three girls waiting for Howie to leave the deck and decided to join them. We were all exhausted and our feet hurt, even though many of us were just wearing flip flops. We talked to the Rose Tours guy that was watching the entrance and he was very nice. Soon we saw Howie heading our way and were ready with our cameras. He told us that we should join him in a game of Limbo down on the Lido deck....we followed him. The "game of Limbo" was him going under a stick once and then quickly turned into him taking photos with fans. None of us received a photo and when he left the deck we went back up to the deck above and perched ourselves there. We then saw security come back....with no Howie. We then knew that the night was over and we could go to bed. The next day was going to be a Day At Sea with our group photo session, Karaoke, and the Pajama Jam Deck Party. I knew that it would be my last day of seeing the Backstreet Boys, but I didn't know how great of a day it would actually be!
