Changes to Sail Away party

[Cinders411]

John Heald posted yesterday on his FB page that they are bringing back Caribbean/calypso music duos.

 

Yay! :D

We had a steel pan guy on the Sensation last week. He was very enthusiastic but it was just odd. He wasn't playing island music. He was playing the steel pan along with Top 40/Pop/Dance tracks playing from his laptop. And he didn't seem to know all of the songs he was trying to play so sometimes he would sing a few lines then jump in with the drum at the chorus. Like I said, strange, but entertaining. :D

Steel drums were on the Breeze on our August 2015 sailing. No drums n Splendor 15/16 New Years cruise.

I am fairly sure we had a steel drum duo performing above the Lido pool on the Magic last May. I don't recall if it was during sail away, but we only saw them one time. I can't say they weren't performing more times.:) Hopefully they were!:)

 

That's because we didn't frequent the Lido pool area because of past experiences with the LOUD DJ sounds on similar ships....I wouldn't call the DJ sounds Caribbean at all??? :confused:

 

Maybe......someone could explain the DJ music concept on cruise ships at sail away and on the Lido pool areas during the cruise??:confused: It used to be limited to the Night Clubs after 10pm?:confused:

To us lately the DJ is making loud noise and contributing nothing to our cruise.

Wondering about the Breeze? Any recent cruisers? The last time I was on it the DJ music was over powering. I do like the musicians at the pool bars. Do they still have them?

[Cr2zCr8zy]

I too miss the steel bands on the carribean cruises. I also enjoy the line dances. Can we bring back the steel drums without totally eliminating the line dances? :rolleyes:

[Zeta3]

We had one DJ who was pretty good and one who was terrible. The terrible DJ was also ridiculously loud such that everything was distorted.

I always hang out at the aft pool because the DJ music is so loud at the main pool.

[JaniceB]

The aft pool is nice for sun too!

Steel drums would be amazing!!! Nothing better than sailing through the Caribbean with that sound in the air......

Love getting back on the ship and they have these bands playing down on the pier. I will stand there for 20+ minutes just listening to them, and tipping them of course.:D:D

 

Totally agree!!

 

Interesting' date=' never knew that some people will tip bands on the ship. Have to think about this.[/quote']

 

I think they meant tipping the bands on the pier as you're walking back to the ship, not the bands actually on the ship. The ones on the pier are playing for tips, the ones on the ship are paid by Carnival so I wouldn't think a tip would be necessary. Unless you request a specific song to be played then maybe a tip, kind of like the piano bar.

I'll give you three reasons: $ $ $

 

One dude playing the same tired crap over and over and over and over and over and over again. Line dances - for thems that can't dance. :p
