winddawn Posted July 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Which would you most like to see? John Heald has been asking some important questions on his social media page and I'm really curious what most guests think since I can't see the results he got.

golfadj Posted July 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2014 classic rock. no choice for that on your poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise-Crazy Posted July 28, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I would like to see more live music in general regardless of what type of music it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted July 28, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2014 classic rock. no choice for that on your poll. It's called cover bands:p Lots of cover bands still around on ships. Some cruisers ideas of "classic rock" are rehashed Top 40 from the 80s or 90s, others think it's only old Def Leopard.:D I voted for more live Caribbean music for Caribbean cruises. Most cruisers identify that with the steel drum/pan sounds and calypso. A little more salsa, meringue, danza or even ska or soca would be good.

He should add STEEL DRUMS to the mix so he sees what the customer REALLY wants to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottaLuvCruising Posted July 28, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I select country ONLY because golden oldies / doo wop wasn't an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cover bands are not on all ships now and last few we have seen they stick them on promenade accross from the casino. Worst possible place to put them.

Cruising Golfer Posted July 28, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 28, 2014 FYI, oldies are 50's & 60's... Hallway groups would be nice...:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE steel drums! Hopefully that would fall in the Caribbean music category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMSACE6 Posted July 28, 2014 #12 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I find it hard to pick just one. I would like them to have more of all except country/western(not my thing). Jazz is good, but has to be in right environment, would be nice if they had a lounge for that. Caribbean music is nice, but the third option is good too.

kybluecruiser Posted July 28, 2014 #16 Share Posted July 28, 2014 No caribbean music. I vote for party music. Today's hits or "recent" classic rock 70s80s&90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MV Wiggle Posted July 28, 2014 #17 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) More live band with variety. Get some good bands that can play a variety of music and that can help expand the on-deck entertainment options for Carnival. You can have 80's/90's nights, all-white parties (clothing, not people), etc. Caribbean music is nice, but I can only take so much steel drum banging and maraca shaking before I want to jump off the side of the boat.

cruzfitter Posted July 28, 2014 #19 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Lol. I dunno! I've never seen any tulips on a Carnival ship. Probably have to look on HOLLAND America for tulips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantocruisemore Posted July 28, 2014 #20 Share Posted July 28, 2014 classic rock. no choice for that on your poll. I agree. On Liberty last Sept. We had Music Power outside casino and loved them. This past time it was Music Boardwalk. Not a bad band, but the music was more from the era before Rock. Although lots of people seemed to be enjoying it. It's just there was no classic rock on the ship, I searched out all the venues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 28, 2014 #21 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Good, danceable bands....R&B, a bit of rock (not "heavy metal), some Motown....just good dance music...upbeat and fun! I HATE Jazz, especially the "new" stuff that you can't tap your toes to, or sing along with....it's excrutiating! Carnival has some "charter" cruises featuring "beach music" bands (you have to book thru a specific travel agent to gain access)...where the best bands from N. Myrtle Beach/North Carolina play on the ship. These guys are NOT "garage" bands...these guys ROCK! If they weren't in Jan. and Feb, I'd totally book one of these cruises! Check out these bands online....Band of Oz, Fantastic Shakers, The Embers (featuring Craig Woolard), Smokin' Hot, Tim Clark Band, Mark Roberts Band.....this is the sort of music I'm talking about!

michelle028 Posted July 28, 2014 #22 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Having live Caribbean music on a cruise is great! :DLuLu We are sailing in the Carribean so more Caribbean bands - some of my fav cruise memories are dancing on the deck to calypso music!

I just was on the Liberty in May and Music Boardwalk was there and where they put these groups is awful They should all be in a lounge like they use to be. It's just too noisy.
