Jimnbigd Posted August 30, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I thought it would be fun to start a "Shout Out" thread -- where we give praise and compliments to deserving RCI staff. Let's keep thread positive. We can start a negative thread if we need that. Shout out to the classical music group "The Three Seasons" on the Mariner of the Seas. This is a group of 2 violinists and one pianist all from the Ukraine, and all are very talented. Thank you and RCI for having classical music. Shout out to the musical group Synergy and Katrina Love from a couple of my Voyager of the Seas cruises. I don't know if they will ever be back on RCI, but the group and especially Katrina always wowed me. I loved your Christmas cap with the flashing lights. Shout out to Derek Lewis, usually in the English pub on voyager class ships, provide the pub is non-smoking. Catch phrases: "Superstar". "Worth far less than one thousand dollars." OK...Your turn.

Goes Cruising Posted August 30, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I don't know how often they play on the ships, but we spent hours listening to Fresh Sound Duo (Ilona Lityahina & Aleksandr Karatsyuba) on the Jewel of the Seas TA this past May. Classical violinist and Guitarist, but they play more contemporary pieces. Truly the most beautiful violin I have ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderful idea, Jimnbigd! Big ups to my favorite Cruise Director, Marc "Bing Bong" Walker, who ALWAYS keeps the Monarch of the Seas rockin' and rollin'. Not to mention, he's funny as all heck! He and his wife just had their first baby last year....and he keeps his fans informed of everything he's doing on his Facebook page....LUV YA' MARC!

Shout out to the staff of Sports Deck on Oasis and ALlure. They have a tough, hot, demanding job running the Flowriders, Zip Line and Rock Climbing Wall.
