The band siglo is great, I adored blue man group when it was on epic, and any ship with howl at the moon.  We were privileged twice to go to howl at moon on last night of cruise when some of the main stage entertainers decided to entertain.  Oh plus cruise director Tyler on Escape was so fun

[Coastalbreezes]

Years ago CD Dan Olsson and his team used to perform "Fountains" at the end of the cruise. To this day it is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen.

DH and I really enjoy the entertainment on NCL, but two favorites stand out.  I'm going back in time for the first one, but the Bart Walker Band that played in Fat Cats on the Epic was an awesome blues/rock band.  We saw every show that week.  We were on a B2B and were very disappointed that he wasn't on for the second week, as his contract ended.  The last night of his performance, other musicians from around the ship joined in for a couple of last songs. 

 

In January, which seems like an eternity now, we absolutely loved the house band at Syd Norman's Pour House on the Breakaway.  They had a fantastic guitar player and the singers were great.  They really put on a great show every time they performed.

I'll second that.  First time I saw it, I had no idea what was about to happen.   I laughed until I had tears.  Saw it several more times on other ships.   Unfortunately, some folks started saying how nasty, spitting water on each other.  That just didn't bother me!   Of course now, we'll never again see it.

Leo on the Gem in 2016. We stalked him. Great entertainer. We missed him by a week last year on the Breakaway. Would love to see him again.

Yea, it'll be hard to do that act when they are wearing a mask.  🙂

I miss Leo the guitarist and lounge singer from the Gem; I'd heard from another poster that he was no longer on the Gem.

Us too. We missed him by a week last year on the Breakaway.

I enjoy music a lot on cruise ships but when something different is there it can be special.  Can't recall the ship but there were three violinists playing electric funky looking violins that would play sets in the atrium and they were awesome.

Carnival has the violinists on their ships. They are always good. We have seen them on several carnival  ships, but never on ncl.

We sailed with Leo many times and got to know him.  He would always play Hotel CA for us.

Our favorite entertainer was comedian, Tim Kaminski

Patti and Jose . We've seen them many times on the Dawn and the POA .  Enjoy their atrium and theater shows every time.

Another vote for Jose and Patti. We enjoyed their shows on our B2B Canada & New England cruise on the Dawn.

[EllieinNJ]

On the Gem Canada cruise we saw a trio with the lead singer Cynthia MC something.  She played the fiddle and sang Irish folksongs.  Another singer did Beach boys and other great classics.  We would follow them around the ship to every venue they played.  They were magical.

Long gone but The Blue Man Group on Epic was very entertaining.  Funny stuff.

Agreed the best

First saw this on the Gem in 2008 with Mike the Cruise director leading

No one has mentioned an amazing guitarist musician called Louis Garamaldi on EPIC from South America

 

An international musician and lovely man and a genius with the guitar none better - hope to listen to him once again next year
