mustwork2cruise Posted June 18, 2006 #51 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Since everyone says your good come join the Conquest in September. We are leaving the 10th and on our last cruise we spent every night in the piano bar with Damian. Nothing makes a great cruise like a great piano bar.

deucpau Posted June 18, 2006 #52 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Does anyone recognise the piano player in the attached picture? He was on the Pride and Glory the summer of 03 and he was a blast but I can't remember his name.. Does anyone know if he is still with Carnival and what his name is? http://community.webshots.com/photo/551454559/2723678400048696701fNqgqi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrusinAgain Posted June 18, 2006 Author #53 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Wow, so Mark sounds great and Ron does also. On the CB we spent every nite in the piano bar never knowing before how much entertaining a piano player can be. On the Miracle in December, the piano player had less than 5 people in the room and was boring. So how can be plan a cruise if we don't know what ship and when the good ones will be there? Mark - it sounds like you are gathering quite a good amount of fans. Do you have a website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASONGULOVE Posted June 18, 2006 #54 Share Posted June 18, 2006 no i dont, yet, primarily because i'm a slacker...lol but i do have a mailing list, from which i let ppl know which ships i'm going to be on, as soon as I know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finsgirl Posted June 19, 2006 #55 Share Posted June 19, 2006 It's nice to hear Damien is doing so well. He made our last Conquest cruise much more enjoyable. Dan-next time you talk to Damien, tell him the Allison Krauss fan from Illinois says Hello! Mark- it sounds like DH and I have missed a great party, hopefully we'll get to "vacation" together some time. The piano bar is one of our favorite things about cruising. You are so right, not all piano players are created equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*CruiseFan* Posted June 19, 2006 #56 Share Posted June 19, 2006 SCOTTIE. He was on the Victory last year when we cruised and he is OUTSTANDING. He is the MAN. He would play anything and everything -- he made about $250 from our group of 8 last year plus pretty much all of his drinks. He was great because he played for the sake of having fun and not based on how much you tip him -- which inclines our group to tip MUCH, MUCH more. SCOTTIE. He's the absolute greatest Piano Bar entertainer I have EVER encountered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennisLover Posted June 19, 2006 #58 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Another vote for Ron "SOCIAL" Pass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He has a great web site, too www.ronpass.com. Also kudos to Joe (Conquest 04) and Cameron (Victory 03). I was surprised to see the post about having fun with Duane. He had the emptiest piano bar I've ever seen on the Liberty this year (and it was President's Week) - we were extremely disappointed (to say the least).

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted June 19, 2006 #60 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I received word from the Glory that a new player is coming on this Saturday (6/24)... at least this thread has given me a few names to look for (for my 7/01 cruise...) Still keeping my fingers crossed for MARK this Thanksgiving!!! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piano Man Ron Posted June 20, 2006 #62 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Hi y'all Mark, did we meet on the pier in Costa Maya last winter? You were in a hurry to get something to eat and I was headed back to the ship with a female friend. I think we chatted briefly. As for my contract here on the Valor, I'm currently scheduled until Octo 22, but will likely extend an additional month. (I am waiting on a new condo to be constructed and completion was moved out another month!) Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My time in the piano bar on the Victory in 2004 really made the vacation! I listen to your CD all the time. Thanks for never playing Janis if I wasn't in the room! :D (yeah, I am just being a gushing fan, sorry...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Ron, having your condo delayed will be a bummer for you but I would love to hear that you've had to extend your time on the Valor through 12/10. My husband and I will be sailing on 12/3. We met you in October 2004 on the Glory. My husband is Mark Baggetto from Chicago. He was in the piano bar every night and then the disco afterwards. We all had drinks at the lobby bar one night before dinner. I know you meet lots of people so you probably don't remember. Anyway, we thought you were the greatest and would love to see you again.

Still keeping my fingers crossed for MARK this Thanksgiving!!! Tom Hey Tom, I just got word from my agent that i'll be signing on as the new piano bar guy on the Glory July 1st. I can't wait! I signed off of the Liberty over in Europe about 3 weeks ago. Even though it's beautiful over there, there's nothing like a Caribbean crowd in the Piano Bar and i'm itchin to get back! Even though i've been working with Carnival for a little over a year, i've learned lots of songs. And i'm more of a rocker on the piano. It's very rare for me not to be sweating after I play a song. I demand that everyone gets involved and has a great time. So I hope that's the kind of atmosphere that you're looking for. That week should be a blast anyway since i'm fresh on a new ship and ready to rock and let loose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rescue156 Posted June 20, 2006 #70 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Let me ask y'all a question..... What all is involved in becoming a piano man onboard Carnival? I'm sure its more than a resume and "here, here's your piano".....is there a kind of "tryout" cruise first? Pretty much I'm asking how they prove your takent before they put you on. I've been playing/singing for 14 years...I play parties/events here around town, but that's it. That's the only experience I have....music almost doesn't exist in the town I'm from. Do I have a chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlWired Posted June 20, 2006 #73 Share Posted June 20, 2006 We will be on the glory July 8th. What kind of music do you play, and what age groups. I love piano bars, but the cruises I have been on haven't had any good players. Love rock music from the 60's 70's, 80's. Thanks Sheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
