cruisine21 Posted November 23, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Bon Jovi Experience was on Singapore to Sydney. The same guys departed the ship in Fremantle and got back on in Adelaide as a different band. I’ve forgotten which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magpie9 Posted December 7, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 7, 2018 You need to book a ticket for the PIXELS SHOW, It is free but is held at TWO70 and not enough room for 4000 ppl, and only 3 times during my 10 night cruise. Book your tix on your cruise planner and print off. This is in addition to the shows in theatre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted December 8, 2018 #5 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I found the show well worth seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted December 8, 2018 #6 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Only problem with 270 is the unconventional seating so many seats aren't that good for Pixels. Best to scope it out early so you know where you want to sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted December 8, 2018 #7 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Just beware that the best seats get cordoned off for suite guests and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megsie Posted December 8, 2018 #8 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Unfortunately Rock the Boat hasn’t been resigned by RC and we missed them on our recent Ovation cruise. A group called Pulse onboard, nothing close to RtheB. Lucy Dobro band was playing in Boleros. Tropical Pleasure duo around the pool or Boleros Piano melodies with Albert in the Schooner Bar and Martin in the Pub. There was also a Tribute to U2 on. Pixels still very popular (prebooking advised) Live Long Legs and the Dream still on as well. Some of the movies 2 weeks ago, were Mama Mia - Here we go again, Incredibles 2 in 3D and Oceans 8. Trivia was impossible to get to (Schooner Bar). But this was the cruise before CD Joff Eaton arrived and with his very amusing progressive trivia in 270. This was our 3rd cruise on Ovation and least enjoyable for a variety of reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted January 11, 2019 #11 Share Posted January 11, 2019 When we were on her they were 7pm and 9pm but that was for the Asian season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megsie Posted January 11, 2019 #12 Share Posted January 11, 2019 A lot depends on the length of your cruise and the planning of the cruise director. But in Nov the early Headliner show was mostly 6.45 and late show at 8.45. Formal night was night 2, with a Captain’s reception at 7.15pm in the Royal Esplanade. Plus Pixels shows we’re on at 7.30 and 9.30pm (reservations) as well as the 2 headliner shows, 10.15 majority rules game and a late night comedian at 10.30pm. As well as other quizzes, dancing, amusements etc. So it can get very busy on a shorter 5 night cruise but a little less hectic when we have been on longer cruises on Ovation.

Chiliburn Posted January 11, 2019 Author #13 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Lucy dobro is on this season but can’t find out who the other resident band is. I will be on ovation a bit over a week so will I find out. Edited January 11, 2019 by Chiliburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megsie Posted January 11, 2019 #14 Share Posted January 11, 2019 In November the band in the music hall was called Pulse, a generic type house band. They usually have a tribute band onboard as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossip Posted January 15, 2019 #16 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Yes Pulse was the house band - Lucy Dobero was still on - there is also an INXS Tribute which was excellent - they played 2 shows one in Music Hall the other in 270 And contrary to most I found Pixels pretty ordinary - apart from the technology - sound was very muddy and vocals hard to hear and decipher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kezza Posted January 18, 2019 #17 Share Posted January 18, 2019 We were disappointed with the entertainment this time on Ovation...Pulse had nothing on RtheB, the Pub guy was boring and the piano man was more classical when we went past...they had 2 on the piano but don't know what the 2nd guy was like. The INXS tribute band was just fantastic. The dance floor in the Music Hall was near empty most of the time Pulse played. We just found there was very little interaction with the passengers....you want people on the dance floor then you have to show more enthusiasm. Wish they would bring back Rock The Boat...
