poptart Posted May 20, 2013 #876 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hello just popping in to see who is on the legend in November. No luck but I'll keep checking. We have had a long dry spell since we had rocking, Rollicking and a little bit raunchy good time in the piano bar. Fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GROUCHPUSS Posted May 20, 2013 #877 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I see Ron Pass's contract on the Breeze ends 6/2/2013....what are the chances he resigns a contract to stay on the Breeze? We love him and will be sailing the Breeze first week of Sept. zero chance, Ron is booked on land for a long while after this contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GROUCHPUSS Posted May 20, 2013 #878 Share Posted May 20, 2013 If we can't get Joe on the Sunshine for end of the year, it'd be great to sail with Marty. It times out pretty good with his current contract. Just sayin ;) Also interesting to see that Peter's contract is being shortened. Is Carnival actually listening to feedback? Probably not Marty, unless they put someone on for like a only month or so. He will should have around a 30 day break between contracts. So if he gets off on 11-10-13 he would not go on until mid Dec or later. But who know stranger things have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennmtnguy Posted May 21, 2013 #880 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Just off the Carnival Magic-- 7 days from Galveston-- May 12-19th 2013. Great Piano bar player on board "Piano Bar Bob" Berhalter--- he had me in stitches and singing along the whole week.. Bobs a real entertainer and gets everyone going. Do not miss stopping in the Piano Bar if you get a cruise with Bob who also performs in land based venues and has been in "dueling piano" scenarios and various others in his career. Warning--- this is addictive-- you may find yourself wanting to stop by every nite! Bob has two different agendas or whatever during the nights-- the early songs and crowds are more "Family orientated" with standard versions of all your favorite songs and later-- (after 11pm when less likely of kids walking by etc) he can switch to a more "adult" and R rated versions of even more songs all of which you know and some that you "may" have never heard- but will surely have you laughing and enjoying the crowd participation and originality. You can tell Bob enjoys performing and take one of the song request forms on the bar and have him play and sing along with your favorites. By the way- the Magic is one Great ship and crew--- I'd go again in a minute and I may just be doing that! John (jack) from Tennessee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been getting raves over on the FB piano Bar-barians page. Lots of fun, lots of energy. He as actually just extended to Oct. 19 to accommodate his fans.

divetrash Posted May 23, 2013 #885 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Joe "Hollywood" Nagy has bowed to peer pressure and extended his contract on the Victory until October 19th. That is if he survives this cruise with 2800 female New Kids on the Block Fans. Have fun Funatics! And Milby Dumas is heading to the Ecstasy in August.

Orange jeep Posted May 31, 2013 #887 Share Posted May 31, 2013 On the valor 6-30-13 anyone know who piano player will be and if any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divetrash Posted May 31, 2013 #888 Share Posted May 31, 2013 On the valor 6-30-13 anyone know who piano player will be and if any good? If you had scrolled down 2 or 3 posts, you would see the schedule and that your entertainer will be Liz Strauss. She did a few Carnival contracts a couple years ago, but more recently she was on Celebrity. I read a post on John Heald's FB recently that loved her. My only experience with her was on the Celebrity Constellation in March. But it was a very different environment from a Carnival Piano Bar. Her schedule on Celebrity was very limited and the "piano bar" was more like a library lounge. She has a lovely voice, good piano skills and a decent repertoire. But she always felt a bit detached and forced to me and a bit rushed. Could have been a function of the venue and schedule and the fact that Celebrity is phasing out their piano bars. Give her a try in June/July, I bet she will let her hair down a bit on Carnival! Happy Cruising, Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitsguy2001 Posted May 31, 2013 #889 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I will be on the Dream in July. If the list on this thread is accurate, looks like we'll have Rick Yerkes. Is he any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUKNIGHT Posted June 10, 2013 #890 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Just back from Victory. Joe Hollywood Nagy was awesome! We had a great time every night. Some nights had standing room only crowd.

caro1998 Posted June 11, 2013 #892 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Yay! So happy to hear this. My last experience on Carnival was with the Destiny last summer and the piano bar was empty every night. It was my first solo cruise and I had really been looking forward to spending some time there making friends! Caro Just back from Victory. Joe Hollywood Nagy was awesome! We had a great time every night. Some nights had standing room only crowd. Crowded even the last night and I have never seen that. You're in for a treat if you are Victory bound.

We are just off the Elation and he was there every night. He is new to Carnival and I think will develop into a good entertainer. He plays the piano and sings at a face pace with very few breaks between the songs. He take requests and even if he dont fully know the song will give it a great try.

Rare richstowe Posted July 16, 2013 #899 Share Posted July 16, 2013 James Quigley definitely made our cruise on the glory!! We just got off the Glory. I am shocked to say that James was one of the highlights of our cruise, certainly the entertainment highlight. Great voice ? No but a great pianist and incredibly funny with a wonderful mean/hilarious sense of humour. Ya gotta hear his circumcision song ,A little off the Top. Or maybe the Beer Song or the Warm Kitty song from the Big Bang Theory. All killers. Ask him to play Piano Man if you dare. So so funny. His act got more and more adult oriented and funnier and more risqué as the night went on. Don't want to get him in trouble but he really gives his liver a workout.
