Do You Want Celebrity To Bring Back the A Cappella Groups?

[gosport11]

No No No :eek:,once was enough.Put up with them for 4 cruises :)

[tangerinebunny]

A thousand times NO. only mimes would be worse.

[blindrid]

Same program on every.S class ship. I know that some miss them, but I don't.

 

Same here. If X needs something it's more lively, modern entertainment. I'm 59 and find the entertainment pretty boring.

[neverbeenhere]

Mimes know how to rock???

[chamima]

No , please don't bring them back. Need more vibrant entertainment onboard

I hate to sound like a broken record but we're just off a 10 day Princess cruise.

We had 3 different comedians,

an illusionist,

a string quartet,

a guitarist,

a jazz group,

a sing-along pianist,

a Beatles tribute group,

several cooking demonstrations

and that was in addition to the usual trivia,

bingo

and 3 production shows.

Many evenings I literally ran from one end of the ship to the other to go from show to show! Compare this to the entertainment list someone just posted from the Summit:

 

Sat:

Theater: Welcome Aboard Show - snippit of what's to come

 

Sun:

Theater: Captain's Gala Toast and Summit Singers and Dancers on journey of classic to silver screen to blockbuster hits of today.

Solarium: "Liquid" Ultra Lounge

 

Mon:

Theater: Juggler Ivan Pecel

Revelations: Sizzle Latin Rhythms Party

 

Tues:

Theater: Sirens - pirates and mermaids under the sea burlesque and fantasy starring Summit Singers and Dancers

Martini Bar: Martini Ice Party

 

Wed:

Theater: Stars in Their Eyes - tribute to legendary stars. Starry Celebrity Production Singers and Dancers, accompanied by Celebrity Orchestra

Revelations: Frozen White Party

 

Thurs:

Theater: Al Duchame - comedy/impressionist

Revelations: 70's Night Fever Disco Party

 

Fri:

Theater: A Voyage to Remember - showcase of the week

Revelations: Farewell Party

Only if they are also mimes. ;)

 

Happy Sails to You

 

OOOEEE Baby, :D:D Bob and Phyl

[mom23guys]

Yes, Yes, Yes! There are other things they can do to improve the entertainment, maybe some blues or jazz but I miss the live entertainment. Too much DJ stuff.

My wife and I have enjoyed listening to an a cappella group entertain us on our past cruises. We felt it added a touch of class and ambiance to our cruise. Do you want Celebrity to bring back the a cappella groups on their ships?

 

I never cared for them. Seemed my kinda weird, even. Maybe it was the selections chosen. Was glad they were not on my last sailing.

 

Sorry.

[bajathree]

Nope

[4cats4me]

No.

[SheriffJoe]

No.

 

I'll second that! Fa la la la la la laaaaaaa....

[gek]

Please God, no.

 

What I hate about them is that they are too mobile. They could appear anywhere at any time. Scary!

I liked them, but we certainly don't need one on every ship. It gets tedious when you see the same entertainment no matter which ship you are on.

[Brad1185]

No do not bring them back. we did not like when they would show up at the shops and break out into song. Not a good thing

[tine-tine]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For evening entertainment

We had 3 different really good comedians,

an illusionist,

a string quartet,

a guitarist,

a jazz group,

a sing-along pianist,

a Beatles tribute group,

several cooking demonstrations

and that was in addition to the usual trivia,

bingo

and 3 production shows.

And I forgot:

 

A really good female singer/impersonator

House Band

A dance band

a DJ who played all evening every evening in their "disco"

about 5 different game shows

and a juggler/comedian who randomly entertained in their central court (Piazza)

 

I'm sure I've forgotten more but the point is that some lines AREN'T cutting

time to [u]step it up Celebrity![/u]

Watching and listening to a small group of talented singers perform while one or two others in the group attempt to provide "musical sound effects" gets a little tiring after one or two numbers.

 

One song on the Ed Sullivan Show would have been plenty for me, not a one hour mini-concert.

All the above shows is how different people's views can be! We had one a capella group back in 2012 (Up til two) that we enjoyed immensely and deliberately sought out: their performances appeared to be packed out. But for me it depends on the quality of the individual/groups rather than the particular genre. We have had string quartets, for example, whose tuning/intonation was so poor that we would actively avoid. We have had on board bands that were good and others that were poor and solo guitars that were excellent and others merely irritating. In the past our experience of Celebrity has been that their selection of live acts around the ship was better than the average. We will be returning to Celebrity in 2015 and hope that things haven't changed too much.

[SheriffJoe]

Nope

 

Tide got rolled.......

[debkaysmith]

Yes, Yes, a resounding Yes!! Love them and have missed them of late.

[dhill]

Oh please NO.tHAT MUST ABOUT THE WORST THERE IS:eek:

[teecee60]

Why would ANYONE want to listen to dozens of different, widely varied songs, with changing rhythms, complex melodies, and incredible harmonies performed live? :confused:

 

I am a sophisticated fan of MODERN LUXURY, and would MUCH prefer the same four measures of repetitive, inane, obnoxious and monotonous techno music of Quasar and the Martini Bar! :rolleyes:

Yes!!!! I loved them!!!!!!

I;m not seeing any material differences in the lineups for entertainment from Princess versus celebrity....

 

The Summit entertainment list posted and quoted does not include ny of the dynamic entertainers or other entertainment, only that int he Main theater and the special event evening parties. The entire daytime entertainment roster is missing.

 

We had comedy show on my recent sailing, multiple nights. we had an illusionist, we had a juggler/guy riding unicycles. we had bands and solo guitarists thru the day, etc. we had DJ's. Cooking shows, trivia at multiple times in a day....

 

the Princes list pretty much mirrors that of my last several Celebrity sailings. But for I don't see any broadway style shows on the princess list, but assume they have as well?

You missed my first post.

I put them together to make it easier to see the volume and different kinds (and there was quality, too, but hard to put that in writing) of entertainment.
