manmtnmike Posted November 21, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Since there's no roll call about the Victory May 5,2015 4-day cruise, just wondering if anyone else is thinking of this.... We're doing a B2B with Victory's May 9 - sailing 5 day as well... We saw KANSAS last year in Nassau and it was great! Such an intimate setting.

Mike Have to admit I am really tempted.....love Journey. I bet Kansas was great so many iconic songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YubaSutter Posted November 21, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Saw a journey last summer. We were very disappointed with the show and walked out half way through the show. The singer wasn't good. Steve Perry, Steve Augeri, or Jeff Scott Soto were far better than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen Arnel Pineda and while he is not Steve Perry he is much better than Augeri and self worth staying. JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Shoes2Go Posted November 21, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 21, 2015 We saw Journey on Liberty earlier this year. We loved it. We have been to 11 of the Carnival Live concerts and this was our favorite. :) We are hoping that the schedule is not complete, we want to see more next year.

run2cruise Posted November 22, 2015 #8 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Great!!:D What were the ticket prices? Thanks! Mike This is on the Carnival live page In a career spanning five decades, Journey has reached amazing heights, earning 19 Top 40 singles, and 25 Gold and Platinum albums. It's not luck - it's persistent, hard work. This endurance laid the groundwork for TV shows like Glee and The Sopranos to make the song Don't Stop Believin' a sensation decades after its original release. Does Journey sound good to you? Tickets to the show are just $75 ($250 for VIP). Edited November 22, 2015 by run2cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KT+5 Posted November 24, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 24, 2015 We got the VIP for $250. We were traveling in an airport and got the email about the cruise/concert. We immediately called our booking agent at Carnival and booked. We were afraid we wouldn't get a good ticket. We've never done the concert cruise before. Now I need to research the ship! We are going on the Vista in June.....we are looking forward to that too! Katy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner15km Posted November 24, 2015 #10 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I would pay 75.00 only if Steve was still in the band. Journey now is basically a cover band.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KT+5 Posted November 24, 2015 #11 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Then this is probably not the cruise for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted November 24, 2015 #12 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Then this is probably not the cruise for you. True enough. I can only think of one older band that has all original members. The vast majority have changes over time. Pineda actually does a pretty good job and I would wager most would not know the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Hi Katy, As with last years Kansas Concert, Carnival Sensation had 2 levels, VIP had the front 4 rows, and then after they're seated gen admission.

Pops, Esq. Posted November 24, 2015 #16 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I would pay 75.00 only if Steve was still in the band.

jimneda Posted November 24, 2015 #18 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Ok,l'll ask. What is the one band with all original members? U2 have to be the biggest one going. Aerosmith are back together, and ZZ Top are still out there. There are many who have lost a member, but still are performing all together, the Rolling Stones being quite notable Up until a couple years ago, Cheap Trick was still together until Bun E Carlos left (personal favorite). As for Journey, longtime drummer Steve Smith is back with the band for at least this year! We love Arne Pineda, and think he does a great job trying to replace one of those lead singers who is truly irreplaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimneda Posted November 24, 2015 #19 Share Posted November 24, 2015 And if you want to see Journey but cannot make it to one of the cruises, they have just announced their 2016 US tour on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted November 25, 2015 #21 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) I believe Poison and Twisted Sister are still together. :) You guys are stealing my thunder. I originally meant U2, but I think the others mentioned fit as well. Amazing when you think about it and the whole point is that if that is your standard (only original members) you won't be seeing hardly anybody (Kudo's to those that are still together). I would be willing to wager that the average person could not tell the difference between Steve Perry and Arnel Pineda in most songs. Also as reported Steve Smith has rejoined the band for 2016 for their tour (Deano has other issues and demons to deal with). Go figure on twisted sister......

navyvet8395 Posted November 27, 2015 #23 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Most dont realize that people "change" over time due to there age. These bands are 30-40 yrs plus in age and the original members are NOT going to perform and sound the same as they did when the songs first came out. Thats the reason some get replaced by newer younger members and some have life changes that causes them to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
