MamaParrotHead Posted January 5, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I really like the constantly updated CD thread...can we start one for the onboard entertainers, too? Lido bands, comedians, singers, etc. I'm curious and wondered if anyone else might be as well. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Carnival would make it easier for us all by keeping up their site http://www.carnivalentertainment.com - Im not sure they have ever changed it since they first put it up.

mrdood Posted January 5, 2007 #3 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I think it would be a next to impossible task, we can't even keep track, very well, of a single CD or Captain on each ship, let alone 2 lead singers, 20 dancers, 5 or 6 bands, and a partridge in a pear tree...

MamaParrotHead Posted January 5, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I don't even recall seeing the dancers listed anywhere on our last cruise. I agree that would be impossible, not to mention I don't know how on earth anyone would put any of the names together with the actual dancers, unless one knew them personally. I was mainly talking about the main Lido band (come to think of it, I didn't hear any other bands on our trip, other than the orchestra during the shows), 2 main singers (maybe the hypnotists or comedians, if anyone knows off hand). And possibly the shows each ship is running. It just occured to me because I know I wished someone would have warned me how BAD the Lido band was on our Valor cruise. :eek: The bartenders were actually pretending to load shotguns and shoot them off at the band, which was met by lots of laughter from the rest of us suffering, LOL. :D That and the "adult" comedian whose midnight "R rated" show I LITERALLY dozed through, wish I'd have known I could have skipped and known I would not have missed a THING.

Hawaii697 Posted January 5, 2007 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2007 It just occured to me because I know I wished someone would have warned me how BAD the Lido band was on our Valor cruise. :eek: Oh my. I sail on the Valor in July, say it ain't so. . . an awful Lido deck band. How bad could they be?? Dag, looks like I need to download lots of reggae on my iPod to block them out. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dag, looks like I need to download lots of reggae on my iPod to block them out. :D That was way back in 5/05. I'm sure there's been quite a few bands that have come and gone since then. I think their contracts are like 10 months or something. ;) But THAT'S the reason I thought it'd be a smart thing to start a thread like this. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TanIslandGirl Posted January 5, 2007 #7 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Hi Mama, I think that would be great to try & have some performer info listed. Of course it would take quite a bit of work but maybe some folks will report on their recent cruisers. I will be on the Triumph in about 2 weeks & will try to report back.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted January 6, 2007 #8 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I would like to see a list of: the CDs: (which Mr Pete does a wonderful job doing) the piano bar player the other solo entertainer (usually in the casino area or somewhere on the promenade) You are correct. I don't think Carnival has touched the website since they put it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letscruisegd Posted January 9, 2007 #22 Share Posted January 9, 2007 TennisLover - Thanks for the info on the Lido band. I usually enjoy the live music on the Lido deck. I'm hoping you don't remember them because you didn't spend much time out there while they were playing...not because they weren't good :confused: .

spikester Posted January 12, 2007 #25 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I had the same ones as posted earlier when I was on the Fascination. The female lead singer for the shows was also FABULOUS. I can't remember her name. James the piano bar guy was really great. None of us wanted to leave at 130pm when the bar shut down, so he told us to go upstairs to find a bar that was open. One of the guys hanging out went up to the lido deck and one of the bar waiters came down and waited on us 'till 4am. And James played the whole time. On the Destiny in Aug we had Steve who was pretty good. However, it was a weird crowd on the ship (some religious group and a lot of hispanic people who hung out in the downbeat club where there was a really good latin band) So there was never anyone in there and he would always seem to go on break 5 mins after I got in there. My favorite piano bar guy is Gregg. He is from Boston, and has been on 2 ships that I was on. He is a really good singer and player and alot of fun. I hope that the piano bar player is good on the Freedom in Oct... PS on the 2 norwegian ships I was on, 1 piano bar guy was really good, the other one wasn't. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
