yogimax Posted March 14, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Some venues will certainly be closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweettara Posted March 14, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I was afraid of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sml3 Posted March 14, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I was on the same cruise as that group this year. There was no change to the normal schedule of shows for the cruise. If I didn't know the group was on the cruise ahead of time I would never have known it when I was on the ship. Found out that all of their events were held at times that didn't allow them o partake in the normal shows on the Freedom. Don't hesitate to sail with tis group. It won't impact your cruise experience at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spriteybird Posted March 14, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2015 We were on a back to back. The rollers were also on both weeks. Their shows were held in the Star Lounge and the Ice Show lounge. It was fun seeing those passengers in the Retro outfits. You will not be inconvenienced at all. Go , enjoy !!!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows and meet and greets were in out of the way places or at off times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 14, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 14, 2015 This will NOT affect your cruise at all. Only those who booked as part of the "group" will be able to partake of the band in question....they will have some private events, but not in frequently used public areas...so no worries! Shoot...they may give a free show to the "non group" members...that's always fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlynn222 Posted March 14, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I'm glad my friend posted this because I was going to cancel because I'm not with the group event and I didn't want other activities on the ship to be canceled because of this event.. don't want to go on the cruise if non AAA members are limited..

Rare orville99 Posted March 14, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Given that they occasionally play on the Victory casino ship that sails out of PC, I doubt you will be missing much if you don't get to see them:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlynn222 Posted March 14, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 14, 2015 As long as their events don't take up alot of the ship where there is nothing for us to do than I don't care about not seeing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagsalong Posted March 14, 2015 #12 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) By the way, "Rocky and the Rollers" live in The Villages, Florida, and perform routinely in our pavilions. On the Freedom, Gerry “Rocky” Seader is sometimes joined by the Bowzer (who attended The Juilliard School as a classical pianist at 12 years old) of Sha Na Na fame. Rocky was a drummer with DANNY & THE JUNIORS. Rocky was (and maybe still is) the drummer and musical director for BOWZER’S ROCK & ROLL PARTY. They have been doing a Freedom winter cruise for more than five years and usually have other rock and roll entertainers from the 60's as part of their entourage.

north29 Posted March 14, 2015 #13 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) rocky and rollers cuise, it is fun. If you do not book it for the cruise, the only thing, you will be wanting to get into the events and they have to post guards to keep regular cruisers out. Some times they have other stars of that era with them. Is it worth doing, if you like old time R&R of the Fifties, sixties and seventies YES at least one time, many do it every year. If you live in area around The villages, they have bus transportation to the port from The Villages, or did when I went.

jlynn222 Posted March 14, 2015 #14 Share Posted March 14, 2015 How many rooms do they block off at once? I don't mind not having access to one club but if they use half of the ship for the whole cruise than it's not going to be much fun for the non AAA members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never once was I unable to do something because of that group. The people I ran into were all very nice. It actually works out well for the normal cruisers for shows. They would have a show in the ice rink during the normal theater shows or they would use the theater during the ice show times. Don't worry about cruising with them at all it won't affect your access to any scheduled event in the compass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
