travling1 Posted July 24, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I've seen a few cruise pictures where a grand piano is shown in the cabin. Does anyone know of a cruise line/cruise ship that actually does have a piano in your suite ? Thanks,... .. in advance.. .. .. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoofingPrincess Posted July 24, 2012 #3 Share Posted July 24, 2012 On Royal Caribbean, the Royal Loft Suite has a baby grand piano, and some of the Royal Suites do as well. http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/cabinclass/cabinTypes/cabinType/home.do?br=R&cabincls=D&cabinType=RL http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/cabinclass/cabinTypes/cabinType/home.do?br=R&cabincls=D&cabinType=RS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navybankerteacher Posted July 24, 2012 #6 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Celebrity Reflection -Penthouse Suite; Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas - Royal Suite; and Ocean Marina - Owners Suite (and probably other ships of the same classes on those lines0 have pianos. The question remains: Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitty9 Posted July 24, 2012 #8 Share Posted July 24, 2012 All the PH's on all Celebrity ships have a baby grand piano, ones that play themselves via small computer discs. The Royal Suites on RCI have the pianos. Same for the two story suites on Cunard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORcrzr Posted July 24, 2012 #11 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Several on RCI have pianos. You don't even have to play them . . . just turn them on! Really pretty cool. So why do you ask???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted July 24, 2012 #13 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I wonder if the nearby cabins are sound proofed enough to not be disturbed by the piano playing. It could be bothersome to neighbors if they wish to sleep/not hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be bothersome to neighbors if they wish to sleep/not hear it. In those big suites it's not a problem for the nearby cabins. Lots of distance involved.

cb at sea Posted July 24, 2012 #15 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Actually, very few folks use the pianos....they may give it a try one or two times, but most ignore it after that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted July 24, 2012 #16 Share Posted July 24, 2012 The Piano we had in the Celebrity Suite could be set to play music automatically. That worked perfect for us since neither my wife nor myself know how to play the piano. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Sorry..but yes it was bothersome to us :eek:...The person couldn't play a note..just banged away..We have been in #9638 a few times on the LOS & INDY right above the RS..we love this cabin and have luckily only had a problem once.

Nebr.cruiser Posted July 24, 2012 #18 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I'm pretty sure there was one in the NCL Garden Suite we toured. Or whatever there apartment-sized suite is called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdvmd Posted July 24, 2012 #20 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yes, the Garden Villas on several NCL ships have pianos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty9 Posted July 25, 2012 #21 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Do the keys move up and down when it's playing? I have one of those Yamaha Grand Pianos in my home, and yes, the keys do move. It's very much like those old fashioned upright player pianos. I have to disagree with Keith as to others hearing the piano. The Sky Suite next door on Celebrity ships definitely can hear the piano. Heck, you can hear their phone ringing. I had a suite next door to the big suite on Royal Carbbean and could hear their piano very clearly.

PennyAgain Posted July 25, 2012 #23 Share Posted July 25, 2012 On some ships the player pianos have been locked and made disfunctional due to passenger complaints. On a Cunard ship I begged and begged until one of the musicians showed me where they hid the key for a piano in one of the lesser lounges so I could play on a long voyage.

Glaciers Posted July 25, 2012 #24 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Several years ago on the Brilliance our tablemates were in the Royal Suite and invited us to their cabin. http://pictures.cruisecritic.com/showphoto.php?photo=22084 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducklite Posted July 25, 2012 #25 Share Posted July 25, 2012 RCCL Mariner Royal Suite has a baby grand. It was a waste of space. In fact there was a lot of wasted space in that cabin. I played it for a few minutes a few times, but I haven't really played in years, so without sheet music it was just snippets of various concertos and standards that I could remember. I only played during the day because I didn't want to disturb anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
