On board music.

G'day everyone.

I'm from New Zealand, and am on Celbrity Equinox in May.

My question is: Would it be acceptable to take my Ukulele with me and play on our balcony?

We are off to the southern Caribbean, and I've been practicing calypso songs, which I thought would be pretty appropriate.

I wouldn't want to annoy anyone though.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

If you were next to me, I'd politely ask you to go inside.

Fair enough. :)

Yes to this. The OP may be a perfectly capable ukulele player, but when I am in my stateroom or on my balcony, I want to hear the ocean, not someone else's idea of what music I will be hearing. My balcony is my refuge from the crowds and noise elsewhere on the ship. Peace and quiet is important.

OP, thank you for asking. I do appreciate that! (y)

Thanks for your reply. I wouldn't want to upset anyone. Looks like the Uke will stay home.

Never been on a "posh" cruise before. Wouldn't want to give Ukuleles or New Zealand a bad name.

It's definitely not because X is a posh cruise line (it's not). You'd likely get the same answer no matter what line you cruised on.

I personally would enjoy it

Agree re the playing on the balcony but you might be able to find a quiet spot somewhere.....

Take it anyway, I’ve just been on Sapphire Princess in the Far East and they were running a Ukelele band ( as well as a drumming workshop- both were awesome!) , someone like you would have been VERY welcome!

There have been numerous posts re guests playing a variety of musical instruments while on board. The responses have almost universally been "don't do it". My response is usually that if you can bring your ukulele, I can bring my french horn (a badly played french horn can be excruciating) or even worse my bagpipes - LOL!!!!

I can't see why it should be a problem if you play the instrument in your room as a ukulele has a very gentle sound.

BTW - I once went to a bagpipe concert in Edinburgh. I could only afford the cheap seats. To my surprise, they were in the front rows. I will add that I have been to several pipe and drums concerts and I enjoy them. Wish that I could play the pipes.

Hahaha, this made my day, Don. Thank you for the laugh.
