happygran Posted January 2, 2015 #101 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I really enjoyed them..........sometimes......& would love to see them onboard again. Surely it's best if there is a wide range of musical genres to suit every taste. I'm sure we're not alone in that, it depends on our mood...........sometimes a classical strings group, other times jazz..............right over to music to dance to (and I don't mean ball-room, but not rap). Each one has its place..........and we enjoy them all. So, yes, I'd love to see them back.................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patterson3 Posted January 2, 2015 #102 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Surely it's best if there is a wide range of musical genres to suit every taste. I agree with that 100%. Even if it's something that doesn't interest me, I'm all for having a wide range of entertainment choices. It would be extremely boring if the entertainment choices came down to a house band playing some sort of rock music in one bar, a solo guitarist playing some other rock tunes in another bar, or some DJ spinning rock tunes in a 3rd bar (and I'm a fan of most rock music)....

Variety is the spice of life. I agree with happygran and Paterson3 that we need more variety to suit every musical taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mexillents Posted January 18, 2015 #106 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Well I think they may be regret getting rid of the accapella groups since they are so in right now. I think they should fire the none out of the box thinker. Remember to always enjoy your cruise, and don't sweat the small stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet524 Posted January 18, 2015 #108 Share Posted January 18, 2015 My wife and I have enjoyed listening to an a cappella group entertain us on our past cruises. We felt it added a touch of class and ambiance to our cruise. Do you want Celebrity to bring back the a cappella groups on their ships? Absolutely, yes!

lizbeth Posted January 18, 2015 #111 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Dear Celebrity - Yes, please bring back the a cappella groups! We've loved hearing 3 different singer groups on our last 3 cruises. Lemon Squeezy was the absolute best!;) Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise47 Posted January 18, 2015 #113 Share Posted January 18, 2015 We also missed that group. They added class to the cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinlawn Posted January 18, 2015 #114 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Yes, we enjoy them as well. Disappointed we won't see them on Silli sailing next month:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantaFeFan Posted January 18, 2015 #115 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Don't care. If there and I come across them, I will listen for a bit, then move on. If they aren't there, I don't miss them. I certainly don't equate these groups to "class". They are just another form of entertainment, and one that gets boring pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancerOT Posted January 18, 2015 #116 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I love the acapella groups! My favorite was Cat's Pajamas from a cruise many years ago. (I still follow them on facebook). As a early-mid 30's person, I am part of the demographic X is trying to increase. All of my friends like acapella groups, so it is a definite yes to bring them back!

The Mexillents Posted January 19, 2015 #118 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Surprised that they haven't brought them back yet with the popularity of the genre right now. Remember to always enjoy your cruise, and don't sweat the small stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Skies Posted January 19, 2015 #119 Share Posted January 19, 2015 YES, we would love to see them return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted January 19, 2015 #120 Share Posted January 19, 2015 No. Could care less. We would just like to see more excellent Phillipino bands (they are usually very versatile and excellent) like we had on our recent Eclipse cruise.

AnchorsAweigh2011 Posted January 20, 2015 Author #121 Share Posted January 20, 2015 The debate has been passionate on both sides. People have strong opinions when it comes to music. So far, we have 41 votes for Yes and 52 votes for No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takichum Posted January 20, 2015 #122 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I vote NO. They are boring and have so little variety in their songs. I asked a group on the Millennium a couple of years back to sing a Flying Pickets classic and they didn't know of it. Some use they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted January 20, 2015 #123 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I vote NO. They are boring and have so little variety in their songs. I asked a group on the Millennium a couple of years back to sing a Flying Pickets classic and they didn't know of it. Some use they were. Just got off the Eclipse. The piped in music is horrific! It is in the lounges, especially the Martini Bar, adult pool area and other public venues when live music is not available. Talk about a hammer to your head!! While I did enjoy the Accpella groups, and do not want to hijack this subject- why doesn't the ship stop that horrible piped in music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I did enjoy the Accpella groups, and do not want to hijack this subject- why doesn't the ship stop that horrible piped in music. We really enjoyed the Accapella group on one of our past Celebrtity cruises. And we missed them on the next cruise. We noticed they were gone and it disappointed us. DH and I vote to bring them back- great music sung by extremely talented singers. They always drew a crowd that enjoyed their talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted January 20, 2015 #125 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I already voted and commented once, but wanted to jump in again. To me the issue is not necessarily that I need/want that type of group to be brought back again. The issue is that they were removed but not replaced with anyone else. The lack of live music options was very noticeable on our last Celebrity cruise (Summit). DH and I commented on it virtually every day. Almost impossible to find a place to sit and listen to live music before dinner while enjoying a pre-dinner cocktail unless you timed it to coincide with the shorter-than-the-past pre-MDR dining times in Rendezvous. We would look at the daily and shake our heads in dismay that we couldn't find any venue at all with live music. Canned music is ok, but I can get that in an elevator!! I have always considered having nice, live music both pre and post-dining a significant part of 'modern luxury'. The string quartets in the dining room some nights was a very good example of this. Some may like canned music, but it does not equal 'luxury' by anyone's definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
