Rare Hlitner Posted August 11, 2023 #26 Share Posted August 11, 2023 We are on the Seabourn Quest where they recently had a “King, Queen, and Prince” show. The King was Michael Jackson, the Queen was Whitney Houston, and the Prince was Prince. Funny that you find such a show on a luxury line that attracts older folks, while some lines that want to attract younger folks still seem lost in the 50s to 70s.

I saw tributes to all three of the mentioned acts, but they were on separate cruises - two of them music themed charters. The Jacksons were on one of them and did a couple of Michael's solo songs. The soloist Ashlie Amber performed Whitney Houston. The group Red Corvette paid tribute to the Purple One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrenM Posted August 13, 2023 #29 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I go to lots of live music gigs, but I have never been attracted to attend a tribute act show. Too many great young bands around these days, in the UK, to want to watch a tribute act. I avoid them on cruise ships. Would lo e to see a cruiseline be a bit out there and invite current bands to play occasionally playing their own music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mostly your opposite - I don't see a lot of live music, and what I do is mostly on music themed cruises. As talented as the musicians of today are, I just can't find the time to get to know them very well. That's why I'm attracted to tribute acts - I know what they're likely to play and generally they're played well. Different strokes for different folks - that's what makes the world go around. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
