capegirl Posted January 26, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2020 TA Westbound in May - does anyone know if they have a Caribbean/Reggae band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac1953 Posted January 26, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Most likely. They will either play at the stern for the sailaway, or if inclement weather, in the Pavillion Pool area or Carinthia Lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BklynBoy8 Posted January 26, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 26, 2020 We have had Vibes or Purple Haze on sailings. They play at sail aways, in the Indoor Pool on Deck 12 and also late night in the G32 Disco... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tv24 Posted January 28, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Yeah, really. The North Atlantic is not exactly Jamaica and steel drum territory. Maybe consider another style of party music, fun but not Caribbean and typical cruise ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T5LHR Posted January 29, 2020 #7 Share Posted January 29, 2020 This is just my opinion, not reflective of anyone else... But I think they are awful. Same style, same music, same songs, every time I have been onboard... Its just boring now. They either do it for free (which I highly doubt), or have Cunard/Carnival over a barrel with their contracts and they can't get rid of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rakkor Posted January 29, 2020 #8 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I really enjoyed listening to Purple Haze's pre lunch sets in the paviillion pool on our recent cruise, it's not my musical syle by any means but it was a nioce relaxed venue, and the music fitted that perfectly. The only reggae/Caribbean themed music was at the sailaways once we were in the Caribbean and again the musical style fitted the venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alibobs Posted January 31, 2020 #10 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Watching and listening Vibes playing ‘Island in the Sun’ while they all had their fleeces on, in a sea mist in the Med was one of my most amusing moments on Cunard. But when it’s glorious weather they are much more palatable. I would agree that they could benefit from a wider play list though . Definitely repetitive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Colin_Cameron Posted February 4, 2020 #11 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Looks like Cunard are listening. On QE just now we have ‘The Upbeats’. Two guys on lead and bass, girl vocalist and girl drummer. Playing everything from Elvis to Pharrell by way of Stevie Wonder and ABBA. No sign of Three Little Birds yet.
