Looking for Paul Burton, Lounge Lizard Extraordinaire

[zzdoug]

Hey gang,

 

My wife and I last cruised on Princess for our honeymoon in 2003. The lounge singer on that cruise was Paul Burton and we thought he was absolutely fantastic and hilarious.  He seems to have vanished from the Internet (his Youtube channel consists of a few videos all posted the same day about 7 years ago).  A search on this forum came up empty.

 

Anyway, we are considering another Princess for our 20th anniversary.  Does anyone know if he still exists and/or performs and if so, where and when?  I would seriously consider booking a cruise just to see him.  Alternatively, is there a schedule anywhere of Princess piano lounge performers?

 

Thanks

He was on Emerald Princess June 2019, but no idea where he is performing now.

Thanks for that somewhat recent proof of life.  Anyone else have other sightings?

 

To clarify for others, Paul was the singer/piano player in the piano bar lounge.

Why not send a message to Princess entertainment to ask if he’s still an entertainer for them?

The ayes have it!!!!  We absolutely adored him.  We saw him a few years back, probably 2017.  I agree, I would take a cruise just because he is on it.

I remember him.. It was the Ruby, 2008, I think.  Great pianist.

Well, I asked Princess about this and got no response.   So, question unanswered. Anyone have any inside scoops?

Paul was on our honeymoon cruise also and we loved his crooner bar and theater performances! Haven't seen him since but we sure wish we could again. Anyone seen him onboard recently?
