fern1226 Posted May 7, 2011 #5101 Share Posted May 7, 2011 The best I've seen! Everyone else has been a huge disappointment. Good to hear. Sent Brad an e-mail and he told me the week we are on the Liberty is his last week before going back to Toronto. Can't wait to see and hear him.

richandsue Posted May 8, 2011 #5102 Share Posted May 8, 2011 We just returned from a 7 days cruise ont he Splendor. Chris in the Piano Bar was GREAT! We were there every night, met a lot of fun people and loved to listen to Chris play, sing and get the crowd going. Thanks Chris for making our cruise!

divetrash Posted May 10, 2011 #5106 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Well according to Angela's facebook, they extended her on the Legend, but failed to inform her. She thought she was getting off the Legend last Sunday but thinks she has been extended for two weeks (which would bring her to the 22nd, since she thought she was leaving on the 8th). Score another one for the excellent communication from the Carnival home office.

Time2CruiseAgain Posted May 12, 2011 #5111 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Apparently Angela posted on her Facebook page that she is officially off the Legend on Sunday! So now we wonder again who it will be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodora Posted May 12, 2011 #5112 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Jonathan Li should be your piano man on the Valor. Jonathan like many on the list is a newbie to the Carnival piano bars so we don't know much about him yet. I hope you will come back and let us know what you think. Happy Cruising, Laura I just came back from a 7 day cruise on the Valor from 5/1 - 5/8. Jonathan Li is AWESOME!!!! He takes the time to get to know his crowd and developed a loyal following after the first night! My friends and I were there every night. I don't know how he remembers everyones name, but he does. He brings out the guitar and the harmonica too! I registered on this site specifically to give Jon the props that he so well deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvdoxies Posted May 12, 2011 #5113 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Just back from the Fascination 4/29 sailing. The piano bar was never open due to the fact that the piano wasnt working---argh ! Strangely enough, on Friday, last sea day, went to afternoon tea (which was held in p bar) and Dana was in there playing the piano. So I dont know if the p bar is open now or not.

Any idea on who is replacing her? Thanks a bunch! Yeah, I saw that on her Facebook too. The official roster has her on until the 22nd, but then it originally had her on until the 15th and she thought she was getting off the 8th, so who knows? I have an email in to Wee Jimmy the cruise director, but I haven't heard back yet. Just think of it as the Magical Mystery Piano bar. I know you are waiting so if I get it I will post it here and on the Facebook group ASAP. But, I think you maybe reporting back to us! Sorry!

Just returned from the 5/07 Fascination sailing. Piano bar was open and Dana was playing/singing during our cruise. I thought he did a good job - very open to requests and he played/sang a lot of different types of music. I look forward to cruising with Dana as the piano bar player again.

divetrash Posted May 21, 2011 #5125 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Anyone know anything about Liz Strauss? I will be on the Imagination next week, never heard of her... Never sailed with her, she finished a long stint on the Elation in January, but here is a little biographical info on her from John Heald's blog when he posted a few piano bar profiles: Name: Liz Strauss Hometown: Cape Town, South Africa Most Requested Song: Sweet Home Alabama (on the Elation) Best Part of Being a Carnival Piano Bar Entertainer: You get to have fun with guests every single night, that is, while you’re working! Personal Bio: Liz has been with Carnival for 5 years as piano bar and recently started singing too. She holds a Bachelors degree in Music and Psychology, as well as a master’s degree in Journalism. She and her husband are in the process of immigrating to the United States from South Africa, so soon they will literally be African-American. Style of entertaining ranges from high energy, interactive sing-alongs to tranquil cocktail bar improvs, jokes and chats. From rock ‘n roll piano and Country to light jazz and contemporary, whatever has the piano bar booming. Happy cruising, Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
