NJ Fred Posted January 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2013 The radio waves from across the oceans carry the message - SELLOUT ABOARD ECLIPSE - as the Greatest Entertainer on the Seven Seas debuts on Celebrity Eclipse. Be it his high energy Welcome Aboard Spectacular or evenings in the lounge, Perry Grant continues the wave of excellence! Furniture was in short supply as Perry introduced his unique style to the good customers of Eclipse. Passengers and crew alike found themselves under his magic spell as Eclipse sailed the ocean blue. It is the start of a new chapter for Celebrity. It is a new chapter in saltwater entertainment. Batten down the hatches! Hoist the mainsail! Shiver me timbers! Positions everybody!

Lsimon Posted January 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2013 What room is his act in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvufan Posted January 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Do you know if he will be on the Eclipse next December? We sail Nov 30. We were on the Dec 1st cruise last month, but he hadn't joined the Eclipse yet. Hope he has a good room for his show. Thanks OOOEEE :D:DBob and Phyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenna109 Posted January 28, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 28, 2013 So happy that his act went well on the Eclipse. We saw him on the Constellation and he certainly had a following. He was in a small lounge and it was very difficult to get a seat. On the Constellation next week and, of course, very disappointed that he had left. However, just booked Eclipse for April so everything comes to those who wait! Where was he performing/times please?:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poshtotty Posted January 28, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2013 So happy he has made it safely to Eclipse for our upcoming trip :) Am also curious as to which lounge he is performing in...we always call in on his show on the way to bed and have a nightcap enjoying his unique style.We will certainly be "assuming the position" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Fred Posted January 28, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Perry holds court in the Sky Room. He just joined the ship and will be aboard Eclipse for several months. I do not know when he next goes on holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeywestK Posted January 28, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 28, 2013 We are on the Eclipse Feb. 9th sailing, and looking forward to seeing Perry perform. I've been reading a lot about him on CC, and think we will probably become groupies....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know when he next goes on holiday. Sorry to all the Perry fans but I'm not happy about this. I am not a Perry fan and we've always enjoyed listening to, and dancing a little, with the Party Band up in the Sky lounge several nights on our cruises. If Perry is taking over that lounge it might be good for the Perry fans but bad for others who do not like his unusual form of entertainment.

Rare hcat Posted January 28, 2013 #10 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Eclipse has two week itins--that's a long time to have one headliner up in sky!!! but I am sure they may vary it as they did on Connie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted January 28, 2013 #11 Share Posted January 28, 2013 On Connie he generally played every night in the same venue (Michael's Club) over the two week itineraries, taking off only one night for his stage show, and one night for his "night off" in that time. No indication has come yet how his schedule will be arranged for the Eclipse itineraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick IL. Posted January 28, 2013 #13 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I was also curious if he is up in the SKY lounge how they would deal with the elite cocktail hour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordoncruickshank Posted January 28, 2013 #14 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I was also curious if he is up in the SKY lounge how they would deal with the elite cocktail hour? It will be finished before he starts. The pianist on the Eclipse in November started at around 7.45 each evening and the staff in Michael's Club told us he wouldn't perform in there. As long as they don't move the jazz into Michael's I will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted January 28, 2013 #15 Share Posted January 28, 2013 On at least the first few Eclipse sailings, probably through the Transatlantic, there will be so many Elites that the voucher system will be used and there will not be a traditional Elite Cocktail hour.

If I was a betting person I would bet that Perry will only be in Sky until the hoopla cools off. I'm sure there are a large number of people on this particular cruise who are there primarily for Perry. I was never a fan, but we were on his last Constellation cruise--we grew to appreciate his talent. His is one very funny and witty guy. However, you won't see us in the Sky nightly to watch him.

I hope you are correct -- I much prefer the voucher system -- more options are always better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to do with the way the room is laid out on the "S" class as opposed to the "M" class I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane2357 Posted January 28, 2013 #20 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I just have to ask - just who is Perry Grant, what makes him so special or maybe not - lol as I see there are some "not fans" out there too. Fill those of us in who have never seen him please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were told there would be a traditional Elite Cocktail hour not vouchers on our 2/9/13 sailing. The 1/26 sailing will have the vouchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted January 28, 2013 #22 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Lots of his videos on YouTube -- check out: http://www.youtube.com/user/MrPerryGrant/videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRxAfVq5Nnk&feature=plcp And many more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie115 Posted January 28, 2013 #23 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Also not a fan so glad to know this...we also liked going to the Sky Lounge for the dance music....wonder where that option will be now????:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISABELLA Posted January 28, 2013 #24 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Can't wait for a first report from the Sky Lounge......want to know where are the best seats.....;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lsimon Posted January 28, 2013 #25 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Can't wait for a first report from the Sky Lounge......want to know where are the best seats.....;) The answer to that is pretty clear. From a Perry fan's perspective the best seats will be the ones closest to his piano. From my personal perspective the best seats will be in one of the other lounges downstairs:rolleyes:. I apologize to the Perry fans here. While I'm not a fan, I think it is nice that Celebrity has an entertainer that has a big following on board. It is great to see a lounge act that so many people on board are so anxious to see. I'm just jealous that it isn't the type of act that we'd like to see. Too bad they don't have an entertainer with that type of draw on every cruise - or even two with different styles!
