luv cruising 007 Posted August 15, 2011 #26 Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) Hi FlyboyUSA! My family and I just got back from the Carnival Splendor in July. We watched Music Asia perform every night. They were the best entertainment by far on the cruise. This is the last week they are going to perform on the Splendor. They are taking 2-3 months off then they will sign an 8 month contract with another cruise. Robert (drummer) is suppose to contact us and let us know the next cruise they will be on. I cant wait to see them perform again!!! Bummer im heading on the Splendor in sept. darn to hear Im going to miss them! I saw them years back on the Elation AWESOME! Hopefully another "MUSIC ____" will join the Splendor when MUSIC ASIA goes on break Edited August 15, 2011 by luv cruising 007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaLaura Posted August 15, 2011 #27 Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) MUSIC NETWORK: (Legend) Can you tell me where on the Legend they performed. I was on the ship last year, and I dont remember any bands. Going again in November and would live to see a band :) Edited August 15, 2011 by FloridaLaura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted August 15, 2011 #28 Share Posted August 15, 2011 ...Can you tell me where on the Legend they performed. I was on the ship last year, and I dont remember any bands. Going again in November and would live to see a band :) That would have been in Satchmo's Jazz lounge. I have found, on some recent cruises, that they have eliminated the rock/lounge bands. Not sure if that is a trend or not - though in the past you could pretty much count on finding a "Music" band, or similar, on most ships.

Megnolia Posted August 15, 2011 #30 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Wow, I'm so glad to see these bands are still playing on some ships. I thought they were completely eliminated! I bought the CD from music unlimited, who were on the Miracle in 2006, but have only seen one other "music" band since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseawaits Posted August 15, 2011 #31 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Does anyone know if there is a schedule of what bands will be on what ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverman Posted August 15, 2011 #32 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Ok I just watched a few of these bands on youtube. If Carnival got rid of them due to cut backs thats a real shame. I hope there back in near future. Great bands!! I think Journeys new singer came from one of these bands. But I could be mistaken. I know he was found on youtube. Just like the guy who was singing for Boston a few years ago. Boston was incredible!! That guy sounded just like Brad. Ok thats enough. Im off to go see Volbeat tonight. \m/ \m/!!!!!

Kokopelli2 Posted August 15, 2011 #33 Share Posted August 15, 2011 We saw Music Asia perform on the Splendor and they were great! We were in the cigar bar enjoying an after-dinner cigar and listening to them. That will always be a good memory since Carnival has now taken the cigar bars away. I hope we run across them again on another cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzn buckeye Posted August 15, 2011 #34 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I personally think the best band at sea is Blood Power on the Destiny. I will be on the Destiny a little over a month from now... do you know what lounge they play in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambio Posted August 16, 2011 #35 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I will be on the Destiny a little over a month from now... do you know what lounge they play in? I believe at the moment, Blood Power is on the Magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted August 16, 2011 #36 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I believe at the moment, Blood Power is on the Magic. Blood Power was super!! Much better "opening band" than they had on the Dream, IMHO (some will differ). Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spideyfam Posted August 16, 2011 #37 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Wow! A thread I posted on a year ago! Thanks for bringing back good memories. I just went on YouTube and found this. It is not the same key boardist that I saw in 2007 but everybody else is the same. I hope I can see them again in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByByeAmericanPie Posted September 22, 2012 #39 Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) Music Asia is on the Liberty right now. We just got off a 7 day and they were awesome! Does anyone know if they have a Facebook page? Edited September 22, 2012 by ByByeAmericanPie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary49 Posted September 22, 2012 #40 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Music Unlimited Band is in your FACE. Check it out. Their drummer Ike manages all the bands with Music.... It's a terrific set-up for Carnival. I hope they are never let go...... Shame on Carnival if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmike2013 Posted January 3, 2018 #41 Share Posted January 3, 2018 There's a question. Does anyone know if we can tract these bands, like the piano bar players are being tracked? I've booked cruises based upon the piano bar player and I might do the same for the Music bands. Its hard to track the bands for some unknown reason Carnival likes to keep it secret you can sometimes find the bands on Facebook and find out which ship they are on i have done lots of research even calling the main entertainment office in miami and also emailing john heald but they wont tell you. I know the Alterr Band is currently on the carnival miracle they are very good we also like Music Asia. Music Power. And thr Bestsellers we also try to book certain ships because of the bands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter69 Posted January 3, 2018 #43 Share Posted January 3, 2018 We had Music Manila on the Fantasy in March '09. They were absolutely fantastic!! Sadly,even though I may be wrong, I think that none of the Music XXXX bands are with Carnival now...at least from what I have been hearing. Music Manila was the highlight of the cruise for me and my son...especially him. He was invited to sit in on the drums for a song, but he was too shy to play in front of that many people. The invite was enough to make him feel good though. We have had the Music Manila band playing now for over 3.5 years on The Carnival Spirit based out of Sydney Australia. They are fantastic & have adappeted to a lot of our local music. here DownUnder. That's why we can't get enough of Carnival here in Australia. The Music Manila Band, the ship The Carnival Spirit & The greatest harbour in the world. Sydney Harbour!! Come on Down.. :p:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
