Oldies Music Cruise (60s-70s). Any in late 2011-early 2012?

Does anyone know of any cruises with bands from the late 60s to early 70s? We went on one through Clear Channel Cruises featuring Three Dog Night, The Association, Gary Lewis and the Playboys and Paul Revere and the Raiders and would love to do something like this again.

We're going on a "Malt Shop" cruise the end of October 2011 sponsered by Jazz Cruises 1-877-700-6258. Pretty pricey, but sounds like lots of fun. 4 nites on Carnivals Inspiration out of Tampa, Fl. Entertainers are Chubby Checker, The Beach Boys, Little Anthony, Lou Christie just to name a few.

This is probably more 50's & 60's if you're interested.

Grand Princess, Jan 21-28, 2012, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Davy Jones, Buckinghams, Drifters. Concert at Seas Where the Action is cruise.

Hi Everyone, I'm thinking on going on the 01/21/2012 --01/28/2012 cruise on the GRAND PRINCESS. A month ago saw 3 of the Monkees in concert. This week I saw the "HAPPY TOGHETHER" concert. Talked to my agent. She says for me to put down my deposit when I'm on the CORAL PRINCESS. I'm a platinum captain circle member. PARIDE55

Hello Everyone talked to my agent again. She told me cabins for WHERE THE ACTION IS theme cruise on the GRAND PRINCESS are getting booked fast. So I put a deposit down. paride55

FYI... Not sure who you booked through, but just booking a room on the Grand Princess for this cruise doesn't get you the entertainment. Princess isn't putting on the oldies cruise. You must book though Concerts at Sea to get the entertainment package. Some TA's may work with them for you, but you can also book direct with them. Do a search for Concerts At Sea to get their website. I'd put it here but we're not supposed to put links on here, I guess.

Hello everyone, Yes I do know the concert at sea is a different fee from cruise fare.

:p

Paul Revere and the Raiders, Davy Jones of the Monkees, The Buckinghams, and Charlie Thomas' Drifters Jan.21st on Grand Princess

We are scheduled to go on the Decades of Rock & Roll Oldies Cruise in March 2012 with Phil Dirt & The Dozers. It is on the Navigator of the Seas from March 3-11, 2012.:o They are out of Ohio.

A 60s - 70s music-themed cruise would be fun. Those were the years I was really into music as a kid and teenager. So, how about a little music trivia?

Which group did the song, In-a-gadda-da-vida? AND tell us one or two things that were really unique about that song at the time?

Who sang, "The Crystal Ship"? Hint: same group that did: "Light My Fire."

What was the name of the lead singer of that group?

Nancy Sinatra put out several hit songs with a man named Lee Hazelwood. One of those was "Jackson." Name two others.

The next one goes wa-a-a-ay back, at least for me. Who sang the song, Running Bear? And, what was that song about?

Who had the hit song, "Blue Velvet"?

Who did...

World Without Love?

Painted Black? (They also did Satisfaction)

My Back Pages (Hint: American group; also did Eight Miles High)

This Diamond Ring (and who is the lead singer's father)?

And the Beat Goes On?

We Gotta Get Outa This Place (hint: also did House of the Rising Sun)

Amazing how long ago all of these were.

TMZ reporting davy jones passed away in florida

I am really interested in what is being discussed here now. As for some of the entertainers that have been listed, I have seen several of them close to home in Branson, Missouri.

Someone had mentioned the Malt Shoppe as they were going to do that cruise, but it was expensive. If you did this cruise, were you happy with it, or what were the pros/cons of this cruise?

I would like to do one of these cruises, BUT, I would prefer going through my own TA here at home. If something goes wrong, then they take care of it for me.

Hello there is 50's,60's and 70's cruise in January of 2013 I went on the January 2012 cruise had a great time. I got to talk a little to D. JONES. I don't know if I should post who is organizer. I am booked for 2013. paride55

How do I find the information on this cruise?

Hello, sorry I haven't got back with you sooner.

Sounds like a good one for next year. What is the name of the ship, or how can I get info on this cruise?

Also, you said you talked with "D. Jones." Who is that?

Davy Jones. He unfortunately passed away a few weeks after appearing on the Oldies Cruise.

The ship is the Ruby Princess (@Jan 20, 2013). I will on this cruise. If you figure a way to reach me, I can tell you more about the cruise.
