A capella groups

[warmwinds]

I've read several reviews but no one seems to mention any a capella groups on board - on our only two Celebrity cruises (Mercury and Millie, 2 years apart) there was a different group on each - 4 guys who were FABULOUS (2 different groups - I think one was called Grand Slam and I can't remember the other one) - I was hoping this was a regular thing on Celebrity???

I guess you mean you'd have to decapellatate me, huh? Speaking of which, not that I don't want an answer to my a capella question, but did anyone else see the link to Celebrity's Acupunture at Sea? Ew...BUT...I still want to know if anyone has had the a capella groups on board!

I would really appreciate it if you didn't use such big words when you respond to me, thank you!

There was an acapella group on Summit when I sailed over Thanksgiving. I don't remember their name but they were quite good.

Love'd them!

the acapella group on the connie in november and march was: 4:2:five

 

They were awesome and in my opinion the best entertainment aboard. They appeared nightly at8pm and about 10:30pm in strange places on the ship. 1 night it was in the rendezvous lounge and the next night in the Emporium, then they were in cova coffee lounge and michaels club.

 

I think they were leaving the ship in may but sure hope they are back in november!

*sweet*

On the Infinity 7/03 and the "Sea Notes" were the accapella (sp?) group on board. They were great and my teens really loved to go hear them sing.

The acapella group on Summit March 26th sailing was Off The Top and they were wonderful. Last October it was the Coverdales, also excellent. We are not big on entertainment but the acapella groups are always one of our favourites.

There was one on the Infinity last month as well. They performed briefly in two shows and did impromtus in Cova and Rendesvous most nights.

Of the 4 cruises we have been on with Celebrity, 2 of them had A Capella Groups and 2 of them did not. I also really like when they are on the ship.

 

Seaward 11/97, Monarck of the Sea 11/98, Sea Princess 11/99, Century 12/00, Norway 2/02, Galaxy 7/02, Constellation 12/02, Summit 8/03, Norwegian Dawn 12/03, Voyager of the Seas 7/2/04.

The current group on Millie is called The Sea Tones. They are 4 extra talented young men who were fantastic. I did hear some upsetting news though. Celebrity is phasing out the acapella groups. As their contracts expire they will not be replaced. Is is to bad. You always knew that you were in for a good show with them.

I have wondered myself what ever happened to Gran Slam. We had heard them on 2 different ships, one was the Mercury. They were wonderful. We bought their CD. I hope we get to see them again sometime soon!!

We had one group on Summit last summer. They were good but they were not in the same class as the international barbershop medal winners.

Why would they phase them out? From this thread alone it seems most people enjoyed them...and whenever they performed it was always packed! I know I wrote on my comment card how much we enjoyed them, I'll have to ask while I'm on board next week who to contact to voice support for them.

I hope they don't phase them out. On Constellation last summer they had "Lighthouse" and they were wonderful. They performed every day in various venues around ship. They always drew a big crowd.

 

Celebrity - please don't do away with a capella!!

[brigittetom]

We also had a fantastic group on the Summit. Host Anne somehow got them to perform for her cocktail party on her FV balcony right above us. Talk about great getting ready for dinner entertainment (we were invited, just weren't ready in time.

Ahh, Brigette ~ that was one of our all-time favorite cruise experiences (if not our favorite). The group was called METRO; when the left Summit they went to work at Disneyland Tokyo. They are still there.

 

I'm not sure why Celeb would phase them out. If you enjoy the acapella groups, WRITE CELEBRITY and tell them to keep them!!!! I believe that our comments can make a difference.

 

Thanks, Brigette,for bringing back such a wonderful sailaway out of St. Thomas. It would be hard to duplicate!

[brigittetom]

METRO, of course. I can't believe I didn't remember that. They really were good.
