Steel Bands

[runner15km]

I have not seen a steel band on a cruise ship for many years, are they a thing of the past ?

We use to enjoy hearing them in the pier during Embarkation.

 

And once docked they were invited in the theater.

I agree I always enjoyed steel bands by the pool don’t remember last time I heard them.

They are just one of the many little things which have vanished from cruising as the lines continue to shave down what is included.

I can't speak for all their ships, but Royal Caribbean still has steel drums in their lido bands on Caribbean sailings...

Princess often has a steel drummer on board.  They sometimes give lessons.

Changes were great on Cunard with island music like old days but no steel drums.

 

Melody was there.
