I presume it's not something available to the public but it's always nice to know in advance who's onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was brilliant, it was a great evening and he got a standing ovation at the end of his performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Selbourne Posted April 8, 2023 #9 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Are they down to just one act per cruise now? When we were last on Britannia (pre Covid) there were at least 2 different acts rotating. May have even been 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouCD Posted April 8, 2023 #10 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I’ve not bothered booking it to be honest as I don’t think we will eat the food there (fussy eaters) and didn’t want to pay for it. I’ve seen Ray previously at an Xmas do. He is good though so anyone who hasn’t seen him I’d recommended booking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the rest matched up as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Ray Quinn the first week and Joel Harper Jackson the second week. As I have said before Ray Quinn was brilliant, Joel was also very good but didn’t engage with the audience as much as Ray.

indiana123 Posted April 9, 2023 #13 Share Posted April 9, 2023 We enjoyed Lee Mead when on Iona. The food was fine too. A good evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time the choice was Eric and Ern, or 4 poofs and a piano. We went for the poofs on the basis of a covid infection may affect the act. They would probably carry on with 3 poofs. We didn't like the original Eric and Ern, but an either or tribute , no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that reason the tribute didn’t appeal, but friends saw them and really enjoyed it. We saw Darren Day (who was very good) and Claire Sweeney (not so good). I’m hoping that we have the drag act that others have recommended (Mary Mack?) when we are on Iona in August, as our daughters and their partners would really enjoy that. That may not be P&Os choice for a school holiday cruise though 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only went for him as he was £3 cheaper than Gareth Gates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy v Posted April 9, 2023 #17 Share Posted April 9, 2023 On Iona there were only two acts. There were three on Britannia. Maybe it's so more people have a chance to book. We saw Lee Mead. I would recommend him. I really like the Limelight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jevsy Posted April 9, 2023 #18 Share Posted April 9, 2023 We always go to Limelight on first night! To know where and when you're eating, with good entertainment, good food, good wine, after a long day travelling and embarkation. Best option for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think speciality dining booked tables on the first night do make good sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
