INFO FOR ALL INTERESTED IN KARAOKE...There was a Karaoke "venue" on every cruise we went on, a total of only 7, but they were Celebrity, RC and of course Carnival.
Each ship will have it's on "version", i.e., type of Karaoke Show provided. The KJ will either be using a fully electronic, computer generated type show, or be working with the "older" version, using what is called CD-G's.
If they're using the older CD-G's, you can bring your own commercially "bought" ones, or bring your own personal CD-G's. (Some of us out here actually make our own, but that's not for a beginner). Each ship we went on gladly used our CD-G's when asked. The downside to this type of show is the song choices available will typically be limited. Some could be as large as maybe 8-10,000, but not too many.
Regarding the electronic, computer generated shows: Typically, the KJ doesn't have the ability to use CD-G's. The "tunes" played are fully electronic (not CD-G's) and the "show" is right off the computer. The real advantage to this type of show is the KJ could have literally "hundreds of thousands" of selections to choose from! You would usually be able to find most any song you wanted to sing as long as it's not brand new, or not in a typical Karaoke format. (Additionally, with the advent of wireless computer internet connections, if your KJ has internet, belongs to a Karaoke sharing program and wants to take a few minutes to do it, he can instantly go on-line, search, find and download most anything...on the fly! This is the type of Karaoke I do for my own shows.
