elklemi Posted January 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Was on the Conquest last week and was very happy to find live island music on the Lido each day for at least two sets. Bluelypso was the duo and were from Trinidad. She played the steel drum and he played the guitar. This has been one on my complaints that the DJ was too loud and poor selection. The crowd on the Lido really seemed to enjoy it as much as I did and when they played it was crowded. Thanks Carnival for bringing this back.

bankofdad Posted January 18, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I hope this is a regular happening again! I missed the live music out on the Lido deck during our last cruise, but still enjoyed being out the nonetheless! Thanks for sharing! I hope others that have sailed on other Carnival ships recently can chime in and let us know if they had live music too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATL_Miami_Cruiser Posted January 18, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2016 This is great news. I hope it quickly expands to all Carnival ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbum53 Posted January 18, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Thanks for that info. We'll be on the Conquest this coming May. Hopefully the live music will still be on the Lido deck when we sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djptcp Posted January 19, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 19, 2016 DH and I were on the Conquest on an 8-day cruise in mid-December. We would sit on Deck 10 starboard to smoke and the musicians were right there. Very good musi8cians and it was fun to have live music again.

Lace Posted January 19, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Would love Calypso and even the steele drums to return to all ships. No one buys it any longer that there weren't enough cabins for all the entertainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utopiagal Posted January 19, 2016 #10 Share Posted January 19, 2016 We just got off the Magic and we loved that they brought back the steel drum, Calypso and Islander music. It really adds to the mood of cruising. I'm glad Carnival listened to what most people enjoy and made the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives me another thing to look forward to on Magic next fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linga Posted January 20, 2016 #12 Share Posted January 20, 2016 That is fantastic! We'll be on the Conquest in the spring. I really missed that live island music on the last few cruises! It really sets the mood. Thanks to Carnival for bringing it back!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josefina022 Posted January 21, 2016 #13 Share Posted January 21, 2016 That's awesome! Hope they are still there on my upcoming cruise. That was one of my favorite memories many years ago, love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nednrom Posted January 21, 2016 #15 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The Bluelypso were on the Lido deck playing most of the day on sea days during our 8 day NYE cruise on the Conquest too and we loved them. We stayed mostly on the upper deck by the pool rather than going into the adult pool area just so we could jam to their music. People were dancing all around the deck. It was great :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
