runner15km Posted April 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I have not seen a steel band on a cruise ship for many years, are they a thing of the past ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use to enjoy hearing them in the pier during Embarkation. And once docked they were invited in the theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navybankerteacher Posted April 26, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2023 They are just one of the many little things which have vanished from cruising as the lines continue to shave down what is included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted April 26, 2023 #5 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I can't speak for all their ships, but Royal Caribbean still has steel drums in their lido bands on Caribbean sailings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KreinKrunker Posted April 26, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Princess often has a steel drummer on board. They sometimes give lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BklynBoy8 Posted April 26, 2023 #7 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) Changes were great on Cunard with island music like old days but no steel drums. Melody was there. Edited April 26, 2023 by BklynBoy8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
