No sign of a cover band yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trippen texan Posted October 5, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted October 5, 2023 that band sounds good I hope they make it to Texas Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tree_skier Posted October 5, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I'm hoping we get a cover band too... There have been hints that Royal is bringing back cover bands but no official sign yet. They were advertising for them as recently as a month ago on EntertainersWorldwideJobs.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted October 5, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I miss the day when Royal had real name bands on their regular non Chartered Cruises, 30yrs ago on different Cruises I saw The Spinners, The Monkees(minus Davy), Temptations 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loman Posted October 5, 2023 #6 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Saw the A Groove band a couple weeks ago on the Harmony . Id have to say they were the best musicians i have heard on a cruise ship. Real pros . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgonquin Posted October 7, 2023 #7 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I would consider them a "House Band" and not a cover band. I suspect they move from venue to venue and play whatever the situation dictates. We sailed Oasis in 2022 for a B2B and were fortunate to have a Styx (Wk 1) and Aerosmith (Wk 2) cover band in "The Music Hall" venue. That was an entertaining cover band experience.

trigger Posted October 7, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Whatever happened to Muzik Xpress? We saw them on the Allure and Symphony and really enjoyed them. Haven’t heard anyone mentioning them since the startup after Covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news, Ovation had a Journey cover band a couple of weeks ago! They were quite good, too. Brought back memories of seeing the real thing for my 14th birthday. 😄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have loved either of those on our August Oasis cruise. All we had was the house band in the Music Hall a few times. Really a downgrade from last year when we saw Phoenix on two different cruises. They were great. According to their website, they are on Oasis in November but...... mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put on a good show. 3 hours ago, lgonquin said: I would consider them a "House Band" and not a cover band. I suspect they move from venue to venue and play whatever the situation dictates.

Yes they are a house band. Cover band implies a specific group is being covered. The two you had on Oasis would have made for great back to back entertainment. Historically the cover bands play two weeks stints, getting different bands on a B2B would be good fortune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is A-Grove band... They cover everything from Shania Twain to Bruno Mars. They are more of a house band rather than a true cover band. They're very good though... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that one Resurrection? The lead singer in DSB is much better than the one in Resurrection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant recall . It was a while ago . Its Journey music in general i cat handle , as the two singers in the real band had similar pipes and could hit those high notes quite well . I soon realized i couldnt handle several songs in a row . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were pretty good and a lot of fun. Ended almost every night watching them at Music hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tree_skier Posted July 26 #25 Share Posted July 26 (edited) This is a bit of thread resurrection but it seemed as good a spot as any to drop this little nugget. It would appear that cover bands are coming back to Royal Caribbean. I was just randomly checking calendars of cover bands I had heard on Royal ships in the past that I enjoyed to see if perhaps they might be doing a show somewhere within driving distance and saw these two listing on the their websites This is from DSB's (Journey cover band) website... And this is from L.A.Vations's (U2 cover band). I don't know about other ships or bands at this point but I thought this was an interesting development. I really love cover bands and hope that we start to see them again on other Royal ships. Edited July 26 by Tree_skier 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
