cruisinfanatic Posted August 3, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I was not aware that the ship bands have names.They all do on RCL Nows the time to cruise on Indy guys . . . . . While Rock The Boat AREN'T on there !!!!! Get that credit card out ! Why? You didn't like them? They are a classic rock band and are excellent. You're either too old or too young if you didn't.Wish we had more time to see them when on the Indy a few months ago Sound my camera recording does not do them justice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopster95 Posted August 3, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 3, 2014 They are a classic rock band and are excellent. Thank you for the video! Brought back good memories... can't believe they're still on Indy. I saw them April 2010 on Indy's 1st TA from Ft Lauderdale, If I remember correctly it was their first contract and first cruise. The base player is Canadian (Toronto I believe, but also lived in Vancouver for a bit) so we got to chatting a few nights. They introduced "Rock-a-Raoke" where you sing with the band live rather than with the computer in regular Karaoke. Yes, one of the better bands Royal has ever had imo and likely why they've been around this long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatherb1958 Posted August 3, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 3, 2014 We like them very much. On our 28th June cruise a friend spoke with them at length about Independence's permanent base in the States from November this year and how it would impact on them. The answer was they did not know, they did not know if they would be on Anthem either. Shame as they have been part of the Indie crew family for years.

Paulette3028 Posted June 16, 2015 #18 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Pyramid and at least one pool deck party per cruise. One session of Karaoke was done in the Pyramid Lounge with Rock the Boat as the music behind the Karaoke singers....it was fabulous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I SOOOOOOOOOOO wish I had been able to do this. Will have to settle for the standard karaoke instead I suppose. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMagz Posted June 18, 2015 #20 Share Posted June 18, 2015 For what it's worth, I am a part time musician (playing at corporate gigs, weddings, parties, bars, etc....) "Rock The Boat" is a superb band. Great musicians, great personalities who put on a great show. The band who replaced them ("Syngery")... ?Not so much. I realize this is really a matter of personal taste but the two bands are in entirely different leagues in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not the first. We saw them on Indy's 2009 TA from Ft Lauderdale to Southampton. Lead singer did a spot on cover of Rod Stewart's Maggie May.

Mark-Sheffield Posted June 21, 2015 #24 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Wow seeing those pictures brought back happy memories of our cruise on INDY in 2013. I know staff move around, but would have been great to see them next year when we sail on INDY again in My 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
