Princess is probably not the line for me if I care about singing during the cruise. I will look into other lines. Consider a longer cruise with more sea days. In those you will usually have the Princess Pop Choir, in which a group of 20 to 50 will rehearse most sea days and perform 6 or 8 songs in the Piazza near the end of the cruise. Nobody gets a solo, but it's lots of fun. Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike981 Posted September 11, 2019 #27 Share Posted September 11, 2019 My wife and I sing at home and sometimes when we cruise. It varies so much from cruise to cruise on what your experience will be. She has sung with the live band and loved it, I have not...yet. Besides having a bad KJ, I hate when a large group will take over the venue and control everything. Either way, sing and smile away.

XBGuy Posted September 11, 2019 #28 Share Posted September 11, 2019 OP, I think the idea of looking for cruises that have more sea days has merit. My brother enjoys karaoke and he seems to get his fill on Princess cruises. He, also, likes to join the pop choir. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richla Posted September 11, 2019 #29 Share Posted September 11, 2019 My wife and I like to ballroom dance. Of course that is always left to chance depending on the bands playing that cruise and it's usually in the smaller Wheelhouse Bar. I also see Karaoke almost all the time. It never seems to interfere and is usually in a different room, like the Explorer Lounge or some other spot. Sometimes there's a good crowd, other times it has mostly the singers and their friends as the only attendees. I don't see why they can't accommodate both.

singingthinker Posted September 12, 2019 Author #30 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I share your attitude, richla. I wish they would accommodate both, and on my cruise they clearly could have done so. They had ballroom dancing offered twice a night and karaoke only two times for older adults. Clearly favored one over the other and guessed wrongly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimelbracht Posted October 16, 2021 #31 Share Posted October 16, 2021 The complainers are usually the ones who can not sing. They complain about having karaoke. They forget that nobody is forced to be at a karaoke. If you don't like it, stay away. If I don't like to dance do they remove the dance music? Of course not! So, don't complain and stay away. Let the karaoke singers have their fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfaaa Posted October 16, 2021 #33 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I like karaoke and sing in my basement almost every weekend. All you need is a laptop, karaoke sound mixer, hook up to Youtube and it's game on. But I would not karaoke on a cruise ship if everyone is sharing the same mic and spitting droplets into it while singing. Just not worth the health risk.
