Kokomo_Man Posted January 3, 2012 #126 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Laura & All, I sailed with the Valor on Sunday. The Piano Bar entertainer is Doug Ross. I asked him and he said he will be here until Feb 19 (He said, "or something like that"). I had him last year for my "New Years" cruise and I thought he was pretty good then. I'll post a full review at the end of the cruise. (You can read my previous review of him in the Live from the Freedom link in my signature.)

divetrash Posted January 4, 2012 #127 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks Bob for the update on the Valor! There is some allegedly "exciting news" coming about the piano bars. John Heald promised me a heads up yesterday, but he's already fudging on that so I guess we will just have to wait.

DancerOT Posted January 6, 2012 #128 Share Posted January 6, 2012 So after reading JH's blog today, I thought I would have the answer of who will be in the paino bar on Legend after the current person leaves. She leaves in 9 days, but we still don't have an answer. Are they thinking of no longer putting someone in there? I am confused!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divetrash Posted January 6, 2012 #129 Share Posted January 6, 2012 So after reading JH's blog today, I thought I would have the answer of who will be in the paino bar on Legend after the current person leaves. She leaves in 9 days, but we still don't have an answer. Are they thinking of no longer putting someone in there? I am confused!!! The list that John posts on his blog comes from the musicians roster which DOES NOT contain future dates and performers. I've asked and begged and pleaded for a list with future dates to no avail. So we are dependent on the entertainers themselves to let us know of future contracts. Don't worry, there will be a piano entertainer in there, we just don't know who it is yet. Happy cruising, Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancerOT Posted January 6, 2012 #130 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Thanks for reassuring me! We get on the Legend on the 15th - the day Polly gets off so I was a little worried. When I was on Freedom in Europe a few years ago, the piano bar was one of my favorite places to go with my parents - it is actually one of my favorite things about Carnival. When I get back, I will definitely report on who her replacement is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeDe63 Posted January 9, 2012 #137 Share Posted January 9, 2012 We just got off the Magic yesterday and our piano bar guy was Imani.

divetrash Posted January 10, 2012 #139 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Okay, Brad Alexander is returning to the Valor starting 1/21/2012. Doug Ross who was supposed to be there until 2/19/2012 will probably transfer ships. If I was a betting woman I would say the Victory. But I do not have confirmation on that yet, so I won't post it yet. Also added Jarone Howard's stage name "Imani" to the listing. Meant to do that a while back, but DeDe63's post reminded me. I'm working on the Legend and the Miracle. Hope to have news soon. If not, whoever sails on them soon I hope you will report back.

spaden Posted January 11, 2012 #143 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Just got off the Pride on Jan.8. Roger was fantastic. He has a great personality and had the piano bar packed every night. He played a wide variety of songs and got people involved. The only down side, if I would call it that, would be that he could not say certain words properly but I think that just added a little flavor to the songs. Highly recommend him and if you get the chance and he is on your ship definitely stop by it would be worth your time. Did not get a chance to see how long he will be on the Pride though. Sorry about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JXR Posted January 11, 2012 #144 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Will be getting on Valor when he goes on. Gather you like him. Hi Stu, I think that you will enjoy Brad! I sailed with him when he was a guest on the Freedom (he was taking over for Ron Pass the following week). He covered Ron's breaks and such! He is a very funny guy and very personable. I think that you will have a good time with Brad. Joanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachseeker Posted January 11, 2012 #145 Share Posted January 11, 2012 We just got off the Magic yesterday and our piano bar guy was Imani. He was decent, but he used a lot computerized back-up music that I didn't really care for. He was very personable. We were on the Dec 26 sailing of Magic and went a couple of times but left quickly. Didn't enjoy his versions of familiar songs, really slowed them down. However, there was a crowd there every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buggystuff Posted January 17, 2012 #150 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Onboard the Dream now, and the different style piano bar is more "open" than the Conquest class. Dave has SO become a ,Carnival guy!! It's like seeing a different player than the one I sailed with a year ago!! He's packing the place every night. Really engaging and you can tell he's having a good time too! Knows every song on the planet, LOL. We are fortunate to have a 10 year old that may be the next "American Idol" winner! If you have a chance to sail with Dave, go go go!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
