Lulley766 Posted June 7, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 7, 2010 NCL announced that it will have a new program on board the Epic where passengers can rent Gibson guitars for $10 a day..... That said, I just hope I don't get a cabin or balcony near someone that wants to rock out. In what world is this a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I just hope I don't get a cabin or balcony near someone that wants to rock out. In what world is this a good idea? OK... tell me why this is a bad idea? It comes with headphones... why is this a problem to you? What do you have against a guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazeleyes Posted June 7, 2010 #7 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Sounds cool. I couldnt play if my life depended on it, but it would be interesting to those who can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffd64 Posted June 7, 2010 #8 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Being a musician myself... I see nothing wrong with this, especially since it comes with headphones - meaning the likelihood is that the impact to another passenger is nil :) Certainly less of an issue on a balcony than other things that are allowed there...

Lulley766 Posted June 7, 2010 Author #9 Share Posted June 7, 2010 The article I read did not mention headphones...hence my concern. As long as headphones are used and part of the deal, I have no problem with this then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I agree, what a nutty idea. Again, I am sure there is more to it than that. They are not going to allow people to play the guitar in their cabins.

lbjohnston Posted June 7, 2010 #13 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I wouldn't be concerned about the people that can play the guitar. It is the one that thinks he can play it after a few drinks that would concern me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queenie24now Posted June 7, 2010 #15 Share Posted June 7, 2010 In the past, our friends have their brought guitars. some of my fondest memories are listening and singing along -- Where you ask ? on their balconies and on the top deck late at night :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband wants to bring one everytime we go on vacation. Last cruise I told him if he brought his banjo, it would be fishfood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries on noise...the amp they're giving out has headphones! I was about to demand equal consideration for we classical reggae Steam Kalliope virtuosi, but since wearing the concomitant headphones would be tantamount to having my head stuck in a pressure cooker, I'll just pack a kazoo instead.

InTheCruisingYearsOfLife Posted June 7, 2010 #20 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I do have to say this is one of the most interesting ideas I have heard NCL try. Oh, you want strings on that guitar?

gliles Posted June 8, 2010 #21 Share Posted June 8, 2010 headphones, no headphones, good idea, bad idea...no matter what it just seems very random to me although I bet my son would think it was cool if he were going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms belp Posted June 8, 2010 #22 Share Posted June 8, 2010 HEADPHONES Nita... headphones.... Sorry, but I have heard headphones turned up so loud you can hear it. And the deafer they get the louder they crank it up. It's all good/okay for now; I never wanted to cruise the Epic anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoothdancer Posted June 8, 2010 #25 Share Posted June 8, 2010 You can slightly hear turned up headphones when music is playing, like from an ipod. But my husband has an electric piano with headphones. We can be in our small home office and he is playing the piano and I dont hear a thing.... I think it is a good idea, something fun to do on a cruise, inexpensive. I bet quite a few people may rent one. Good for NCL for trying something new.
