hotsauce126 Posted March 7, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2017 For example, I'd enclose the Java Blue Cafe and give it a legit coffee shop vibe with couches and music and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navybaby1113 Posted March 7, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 7, 2017 A bigger space for comedy. It's sometimes a struggle to find a seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InitialD Posted March 7, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Yeah, just move comedy to the main theater. I'm not really interested in seeing another vegas type show. More live bands, fewer "entertainers" would be my pick. My favorite thing about the shows is that there are less people in the pools/hot tubs. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted March 7, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Carnival should get Led Zeppelin to reform and put them on every cruise I am booked on. They should also persuade Neil Peart of Rush to get behind the drum kit again and get Rush onstage for a few shows. Failing that, could they raise Bon Scott from the grave and get the original AC/DC line up together? No? Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BahamaMama1214 Posted March 7, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I wish the areas around the pools had more space and chairs so there wouldn't be a constant battle for deck real estate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richfret Posted March 8, 2017 #18 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Just got back from a Conquest cruise. The shows were alright (I am being polite) and certainly not great as they use to be. First of all, I am an old timer like most of the cruisers who cruise from January till schools out. All the shows (I mean all the shows) were musicals with acid rock or weird rock and roll that you could not identify with. The dancers (who were also the singers) were fantastic. They saved the evening. Too bad they had to dance to junk. The costumes were horrible. All the costumes were jet black shrouds with jean like pants. Must have cost at least a minimum of $10.00 each. While this is going on, they are flashing blinding lights not above your head but directly into your eyes. So you are blinded until you turn your head. The sound gets so loud that I have learned to bring ear plugs. That helps a lot. Why does it have to be so LOUD????? Oh I know. Old timers can't hear as well. I have been on 20 Carnival cruisers and attended the many shows. I use to brag to every one how great the shows were. Now I don't any more. I still attend but the Casino looks better each cruise. Maybe there is a connection. I know Carnival has invested considerable funds for the new lighting, computer programming, sound apparatus and stage managers but it is time to admit: "WE GOOFED!" and go back to the good old days.

krehberg Posted March 8, 2017 #19 Share Posted March 8, 2017 To each his own. The shows like Epic Rock and The Brits are my favorite show changes on Carnival. Granted, I'd prefer them done to live music and not backing tracks but much better than being forced to listen to show tunes from the 50's and 60's :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted March 8, 2017 #20 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I pretty much agree with Richfret. Bring back the LIVE MUSICIANS. and TURN DOWN THE VOLUME! Many of the shows include lots of music that us old timers, (Yes, many of the current cruisers on Carnival are OLD TIMERS) haven't heard before, and can't identify with. The flashing lights in the shows are REAL distractions, and the costumes on the singers/dancers leave lots to be desired. In other words,,,,bring back the old shows with two or three production singers, ten or twelve dancers, and a ten piece LIVE band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftgit6 Posted March 8, 2017 #22 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Basically, just more live musicians in theater, clubs, pubs, pool, etc. I'm a musicians and seeing tunes done well by talented players are appreciated. DJ is OK in disco only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
