lovelife Posted August 9, 2020 #3 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Phoenix - classic rock band on Oasis was the best I've heard on a ship. I did enjoy Bowser's (from Sha Na Na) fun show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Reid Posted August 9, 2020 #7 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Took me awhile to remember this name. Joyce Kuo - singer/guitarist She was the lead guitar for "We Will Rock You" on Anthem and would play acoustic sets in the Schooner Bar. The girl could play! Great sets at the Schooner. Great, dry sense of humor. She performed on the last night of her contract at the time and was heading home for vacation. Someone in the lounge asked her if she would miss the ship. I still remember her answer, "Yeah, I will; but a girl has to shop, right." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted August 9, 2020 Author #8 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Anybody remember Derek Lewis and his adult daycare mostly on cruises out of Galveston, very funny and played for hours in the pub without a break to a standing room crowd . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare livingonthebeach Posted August 9, 2020 #10 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I enjoyed Cats, Grease, Mama Mia, Columbus, etc. Also the ice shows and aqua theatre shows were spectacular. This short video of RCI's production studios at Florida International University is very interesting as it shows the enormous amount of work involved in producing these shows. I had no idea. It's sad that all of these has come to a screeching halt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare catlover3 Posted August 9, 2020 #11 Share Posted August 9, 2020 The guitar player in the bar lounge and in the mall on the Liberty out of Galveston. Can't remember his name but he is fabulous! Can play anything you request "Flamingo" style. Sure do miss our cruises! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted August 9, 2020 #12 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I cant even remember who it was now, but someone very famous in his time appeared with his wife, and also walked around the ship and visited with people freely. Was a big treat. Someone old, like in his 70s. Also a very good pianoist one time. Just sometimes they surprise you with some really famous unexpected. Enjoyed the shows. Saw hair on both oasis cruises, guess too close together, not cats. The show on oasis like circus d whatever in Vegas was very good and I loved the diving shows. Carnival went to Cannes music and those in shows have to sing and dance both. I've heard more than one off key and I dont even have a keen ar to hear they were off key. Carnival used to have orchestra and solo singers who didnt also have to dance. Shows hardly worth going now on carnival but rcl were still good last time ... though who can predict cruising shows in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheJourney Posted August 9, 2020 #13 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) There was a comedy / musical duo. Two guys. One played guitar, the other keys. They were SO funny. He would pick on people in the audience and gradually key in on one person. By the time the show was over, by joking around with the person in the audience, he created an improv'd vocal song that ties in all the things he had gleaned about that person. Typically by that time he'd have him/her up on stage with him. Wish I could recall the name of the act - saw them several times. The humorous banter between the two of them was great. Then there is a guitar player who often played on RCCL - classical - especially during dinner. "Segundo", or something like that. Had a wicked tremolo effect on his melodic lines by using the third and fourth fingers of the right hand.

CORKY_Q Posted August 9, 2020 #14 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Always like the Ice Shows and , on Oasis Class, the Aquatheater Shows. One of our favorite in the Schooner Piano Bar is Kelly Goodrich. He has been a featured Schooner Bar entertainer for 10 years. A great guy! Sea ya! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davekathy Posted August 9, 2020 #16 Share Posted August 9, 2020 We've liked all the rock tribute bands and rock solo artist we've seen on our RC cruises. We'd like to see more guest entertainers/performers and phase out the RC theater performers, except the RC house Bands (evening in the theater). They are really good also.

We met him and his wife on one cruise he was performing on. His wife Karon Kate Blackwell is a singer. Marty died a couple of years ago and Karon was younger than him by probably at least 20 years. He was very friendly and was all around the ship. Edited August 9, 2020 by BND 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
