Live music onboard

[muchofamuchness]

For our upcoming cruise on Sky Princess (27th April) the Princess app seems to have lots populated in the journey schedule but what really appears to be lacking is live music other than the big theatre or piazza events. There's nothing at all other than auctions/sales listed in Take Five, no 'melodies' or similar in the Piazza, no indication of piano or guitarist in any bars at all, and the Vista Lounge appears to be mostly comedians and the DJ. Indeed the DJ appears to be a very busy person judging by the cruise schedule.

 

Have Princess dropped house bands, Take Five and individual musicians since we last cruised in 2022 (when there was loads of music around the ship)? Or are they just not always good at populating these things before the cruise?

On our recent sailing on the Discovery last month, there were plenty of live musicians that played in Crooners Bar, Take Five, Crown Grill Bar, and Vista Lounge.  There may have even been other venues as well. I think you will find that the app will be more updated closer to sailing.

They usually don’t show up on the app until sailing. I was worried about the same thing but there was plenty of music the entire cruise in Take5 ( our favorite place on the ship).

We were on the Sky over the New Year. Live music everywhere - on the pool deck, in the Piazza, in the bars etc - suspect the journey timetable / schedule is still being set up for your cruise. Enjoy!

We just got off the Regal and there was some live entertainment including nightly in the piazza but there wasn’t a rousing piano bar environment on the ship. When we sailed the Enchanted in 2023, the piano bar was on fire - even the cruise director stopped by to sing Valerie by Amy Winehouse. Seems there is a major focus on the piazza which is fine but it still doesn’t have that piano bar vibe.
