kmp70 Posted May 18, 2010 #351 Share Posted May 18, 2010 hi Radio, I noticed on your Oasis "live" post you did a report card at the end to rate the cruise, did you do that for EOS as well? I'll be taking EOS in late October to Bermuda. Second time on RCCL (Mariner 07) but first time to Bermuda, Can't wait. love your "live posts", makes it more fun to look forward to!

ChristieNJ Posted May 18, 2010 #352 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I believe that at night, Latin American music is played here so it sort of functions as the Bolero's Bar. Not on my cruise 2 weeks ago! :mad: Every single cruise I've ever been on had a party every night in the Aq Bar (or Bolero's, depending on the ship). I was ECSTATIC that the Aquarium Bar was now non-smoking so that I can enjoy dancing with the Latin bands, then we get onboard and all they had for 10 days in that bar was a easy-listening quartet!!! I was steamed. Radio - Was there a Latin band onboard on your cruise?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me go find my compasses and see. This was the 2009-2010 Holiday cruise Dec 09 - Jan 2010 And DW makes fun of me for always keeping all the compasses, never can tell when you will need some bit of info.! Glad to see you are posting again. <<edit>>... Yep, there was a latin band named Mirage that performed most nights in the Aquarium Bar, sometimes in the Marajah deck 5 lounge, and at the nighttime pool deck party on Latin American night. Christie, how many nights did you check the Aquarium? Edited May 19, 2010 by The Big Booper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counsdr Posted May 19, 2010 #354 Share Posted May 19, 2010 When we were on in Feb. They had Latin music early 9 PM? Then around 10:30 it seems it was soft dance music. Also before dinner if I recall it was violin music. Why don't you go over to Meg's live thread and ask her to check it out for you? Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild style Posted May 19, 2010 #355 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Oh wow, I thought I had visited every bar on the ship, but didn't even see the 19th Hole bar until now. Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Radio Posted May 19, 2010 Author #356 Share Posted May 19, 2010 >SNIP< Radio - Was there a Latin band onboard on your cruise?? Hi Christie. . . There was not a Latin Band on our cruise. There was a LIVE Band every night though. They had the Standard Time Trio, or the Peters Strings in the Aquarium bar every night.

Rare MillbrookMom Posted May 21, 2010 #360 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I will be going back in September 2010. . . Radio ;);) . Our first and only cruise has been to Bermuda and I cannot wait to go back, by far my favourite place I've been. I just noticed that you do basically 5 cruises a year (and thus your awesome LIVE reports). I hope one day my husband I will be able to do the same....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MillbrookMom Posted May 22, 2010 #362 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Radio....I have a question. Your cruises seem so varied, and you change from cruiseline, to cruiseline. I'm just curious how you go about choosing your various trips??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just curious how you go about choosing your various trips??? I really don't like to fly much, so I try to cruise from "local" ports. . . Baltimore, Cape Liberty(3), Norfolk(5), Boston(10), and Charleston(10). I still cruise from Florida on occasion, but wiuld rather stay under the 10 hr drive zone. . . .:o I still seem to frequent RCI ships more than any though. . .:) Radio ;);) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aquarium Bar used to be packed every night on our previous cruises - there was always a great band there and many nights we would sit at the bar and listen to them, but this time there were a few guys and a girl singer who's voice was the worse I ever heard and the bar remained pretty empty the entire cruise. The lady was singing to an empty house..........LOL I filled out the survery and gave them "poor" for live music. I wonder why they took away the latin band?? They really drew a crowd!

At least you were out in the evening to go listen to the music! I have tried twice to post a review and no luck. Keeps asking me to log on. Yep did that.

DH spends a lot of time in the casino so we were right there most nights and there was the same band every night. It's the first time I ever saw that bar completely empty. There was never anyone sitting there at night except for a few people. I noticed it right away and was really disappointed in the music that was there. I used to always walk out of the casino to listen to the latin band. Patty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info, Patty. Yes, it was VERY disappointing not to have the Latin band there this time, especially now that it's non-smoking. I was ready to party it up! :p The person who it probably bummed out the most was the bartender. I'm sure they rake in the dough when the latin band is there. But, like you, the Aquarium Bar was near empty all the time. Not the 'happening' place it was on every single one of my other cruises. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosebud1g Posted May 23, 2010 #372 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Radio, thanks for the link to your website and your cruise history, it is INCREDIBLE to read! Can you or anyone give any suggestions of what excursion is good to do in Bermuda? I have not been there before, and dont really want to buy a bus pass to try to figure it all out on my own. That seems to be the thing posters on here say to do. I did email a taxi tour guide who was recommended (Duke) and we do plan on taking his tour on the 1st day, so that leaves the 2nd day. The tours offered thru the ship are very expensive and dont seem to be very long for the money paid. can anyone offer any suggestions? I am a water person and would love any catamaran, snorkel, beach ideas. thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counsdr Posted May 24, 2010 #373 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Patty, too bad you didn't go to the champagne bar each night! We did and we had a blast! Our bartender was HangMi and she was fabulous! I had arranged for our CC group to do a martini tasting on our 3rd night and everyone enjoyed it, so we decided to meet there the following night and do a pub crawl. Well we never left the champagne bar and HangMi had a whole section ready for us every night!!! We didn't have music but we had so much fun and we could hear the music from down below. Sorry the aquarium bar was so dull for you. Hope you have caught up on your sleep! Have a good week! Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
