cinnamon Posted February 10, 2018 #26 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Second from right is Julius. I'm not sure of the other guy in the middle. Can't remember his name, but he is on Quest all of the time. Far left is Lajos, Bar Manager. Phil Julius! Thanks Phil.

Bodger Posted February 11, 2018 #27 Share Posted February 11, 2018 The 54 Below with Daniel disappointed me. By the material choice I felt they thought the crowd was in their nineties. After the third number I had enough of Rogers and Hammerstein and left. Tonight’s show is to be 60’s music, I hope the choice of material will be better. We had the plays last night; the first Franklin/Adams one was good. The second hand puppet one should be dropped. The third one about stealing office lunches was okay. Assistant CD Ernest Marchain’s show was enjoyable. I see this as a work in process that needs some fine tuning. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkismom Posted February 11, 2018 #28 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Personally I thought the short plays were awful, alot of people left after 1 or 2. We stayed but won't bother with the other ones. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takemewithyou Posted February 12, 2018 #29 Share Posted February 12, 2018 We did not see the plays last night, so can not give an opinion. Tonight’s performance by Daniel from Club 54 was music from the 60’s. I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA Oceanfront Posted February 12, 2018 #30 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I am also on the Quest and, although I missed the debut of the new Shorts on Ships (short plays) on the second evening, the word on the ship is that it was a colossal failure. However, we thoroughly enjoyed last night’s 54 Below show. I would even go so far as to say that, IMHO, it was one of best vocalists Azamara has put on stage in our 31 cruises with them.

Rare uktog Posted February 12, 2018 #31 Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) Interesting, I did wonder how 12 minute plays would work. Hopefully they can sort it out soon and get something that works in place. Glad though to read the music was memorable for the right reasons Edited February 12, 2018 by uktog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takemewithyou Posted February 12, 2018 #32 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Tonight is another performance of the short plays. So more reports will probably follow. Not sure if we will make it to show as we have specialty restaurant meal again tonight and already missed the first one. The vocalist, Daniel, was wonderful in his two shows and was exiting the ship today in La Paz. My understanding is that we will have another vocalist coming onboard for some new performances.

gnld Posted February 13, 2018 #33 Share Posted February 13, 2018 We'll be on the Quest April 7th for her transatlantic to Lisbon.Looking forward to experiencing the new shows/format for ourselves.Initial negative reports on the short plays is disheartening.

takemewithyou Posted February 13, 2018 #35 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Well, we missed the first short play tonight, but caught the second and third of the first show and we enjoyed them. The third was quite funny. I can see where some of the topics might be controversial and some people may get easily offended. It may not be for every one......we shall see how it goes.

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted February 13, 2018 #36 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Are the plays the same every night, or do they change during a cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takemewithyou Posted February 13, 2018 #37 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Are the plays the same every night, or do they change during a cruise? The plays are different each night. 3 short plays each night. There will be two more performances on this cruise, I have heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takemewithyou Posted February 13, 2018 #38 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Onboard Quest currently, we do have live music going on....piano in Spirits, guitar some nights in LR and also the Sparkling trio in LR which consists of keyboard and guitar with female singer. Tonight we will have a local folkloric group of Mariachis and dancers in the cabaret. Also celebrating Fat Tuesday in LR tonight and a special Valentine’s Day brunch tomorrow.

Are the pianist in Spirits and the guitarist in the LR part of the trio? I hope that the folkloric group were able to board as last year in Cozumel (despite the Cruise Director and others onboard trying to negotiate) the port security staff would not allow them on.

excitedofharpenden Posted February 14, 2018 #41 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I understand ballroom dancers Sasha and Dima are doing their 45 minute show on the next Journey cruise.

Thank you. I am very happy that there will be some live music in Spirits.. is this every evening and after dinner? So pleased that you were able to enjoy the folkloric group. I think that we had a late departure and the port security team wanted extra payments to work beyond their allotted time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
