Best Piano Entertainer on Carnival? (Part 2)

[SquidDaddy]

I sailed with Bruce twice on the Glory in 2010. I very much enjoyed his piano bar. He's a little lower key, not the big, loud frat party type. But he works hard to get everyone involved with lots of singing along and trivia and develops a nice rapport with his regulars. He's very charming and has a large repertoire (though lighter on current music) He had a nice hardcore group that filled the seats around his piano every night on the cruises I took with him.

 

This is what I wrote about him after I sailed with him the first time:

 

"I just got off the Glory this past Saturday. I spent every night in the piano bar and had a blast. Bruce is a sweet and talented Scotsman (excellent accent!). Lower key than some. His playlist is varied and always includes lots more than what is just on the list he hands out, but pretty lean when it comes to current songs.

 

He does a good job making everyone feel included and welcome and absolutely loves audience participation, often dropping out and letting the audience sing and pointing out and featuring someone who is singing along enthusiastically. He's got an extra microphone for people who want to sing and it often got passed around. Early on he often does trivia and "Name that Tune" stuff to help people get involved (I can name that tune in 250 notes! LOL)

 

It can get a bit repetitious as he finds what works with his audience, on our cruise he had 20 somethings to 70 somethings in his bar, and he works to please everyone, that was quite an age gap to straddle. And he accommodates requests as he can, almost to a fault... Oh, if I never hear "Rhinestone Cowboy" again, it will be too soon! LOL!

 

His is one of those piano bars where it can be nice just listening and chatting with just a few people in the bar (as it was early on the first night) or a lot of fun with a big raucous group which it became later on in the cruise. The people in the bar and their willingness to participate definitely make a big difference. Seats around the bar were at a premium by the second night of our cruise as his "hardcores" found their way to the bar. The first night worried him a bit as he said that the previous two cruises were rip-roaring from the get go.

 

Just make sure it's after midnight before you ask him what his favorite thing to wear under his kilt is! LOL!"

 

If you scan on the old thread you can find earlier reviews of him and they are all good.

 

He certainly has his fans (of which I am one), there is one lady on the Piano Barbarians FB page that sailed with him last July and raves about him:

 

Tammy B: you will love him. We sailed with him last July and had the absolute best time! I truly cannot say enough about him. He is wonderful.

So, go and enjoy!

 

Happy Sailing,

Thanks for sharing your past review...sounds like we won't have anything to worry about with Bruce!!! The DW and I were worried that we were going to have to find a new nightly hobby this cruise before it was switched to Bruce.

 

I will report back our experience as well when we return.

Hey if you loved Marty then you might be interested in what a bunch of us are doing on Oct 27 on the Freedom. We are doing The "Party with Marty" Halloween Cruise. It is Marty's own little group cruise. But you book it on your own. We will have more info on Marty's Peeps page on fb and here. Like I said it is not an official group cruise, just a bunch of Piano Bar lovers getting together with their favorite PBE. We will have a cocktail party or two with Marty and a costume contest.

 

 

Thanks for the invite but I don't think our schedules will permit a cruise at that time of the year. Would love to see Marty again though...seems like his Carnival gig has really become quite the show. We sailed with him on the Freedom in Sep.2011 and it was only his third cruise or so. He definitely came out of his shell by the end of that cruise...just took some encouragement from a bunch of us PB regulars to get him going. A reunion cruise with him would be a lot of fun.

Just off the Liberty. Peter Brenner was banging and yelling just like the video posted earlier in the thread. Bad. We did not spend any time there.

 

Seems like a nice guy but we have sailed with him twice and spent hardly any time in piano bar.

 

Awesome :rolleyes:. Can't wait to spend a week on the Liberty and not a day in the Piano Bar :mad:

[CRZCRAZY]

I just got a message from a crewmember on board the Splendor and the PBE there is Hailey. Her contract is through some time in September. My friend said Hailey was very good.

Yay!! I heard yesterday that John Heald would post this today. :D

 

So...Ben Gentry is he new....returning to the rotation.....or currently placed on another ship. I may have missed it - but I don't see him curently on the list.

 

He's got quite the job following Ron on the Breeze!! ;)

[kdkinsel]

Does anyone know anything about Derek Robertson? I would like to learn something about him before we sail. Is he from Canada? Does he have a web site? Anywhere to listen to his music on line?

Thanks

[Hedle]

I see my PB player on the Conquest for my cruise

at the end of the month is Larry Maconaghy.

Have not seen or recall any recent reviews.

Anyone have any info on him?

[spikester]

I sailed with Ben on the Liberty in Dec, he was a blast. He is pretty young, but very enthusiastic, and a great entertainer. I am THRILLED he is going to be on the Breeze, and am looking forward to hanging out in the PB in Aug.

 

OH, he just ended his Liberty contract last month, that's why he isn't on the list anywhere.

[CruiseBat1]

Anyone have any update on the entertainer on the Conquest? We are cruising on her in July

 

Just got off the Conquest yesterday. Larry McConaughey was the Piano Bar (Blues) player. He should still be there in July. He did a great job. The ship was filled with one third kids so Blues was not as busy as it should have been. Still we managed to have a great time and a couple of the nights were just indescribably fun.

 

See the link below for the Carnival Piano Bar page They post the line-up updates there.

Peter Brenner was the piano entertainer on my Liberty cruise last week. My husband and I were very disappointed with him. We lasted for about an hour and never went back.

 

Although Peter was very personable, his entertaining style made it such that the passengers could only listen to him and not sing along.

 

There were two major problems with his style:

 

(1) He sped up the tempo on EVERY song so much that they were not enjoyable. I'm sure he was doing this in an effort to get through as many requests as possible, but he completed 3-4 minute songs in about 1-2 minutes.

 

(2) He added his own style and flare to every song, rather than keeping with the traditional tunes.

 

The combination of these two things made it virtually impossible to sing along, so the room was pretty much silent. Most people came and left within about 10 minutes at the most.

He looks about 15!! I'm glad to see a good review for him though, I will be on the Breeze late September :)

Due to timing snafus and corporate shenanigans, there is a change to the Dream schedule. Bruce McGhie won't make it there so Brad Alexander is taking over on the 20th.

:-P

I'm filling in, in a non-music director fashion, on the Dream at the moment. Piano Bar Bob is still here this week btw. I'm actually kinda bummed that I leave the day Brad gets here, 'cause I haven't seen him yet. Ah well.

Also, let me know if you'll be on the Splendor 4/23-7/12 or Valor 8/25-Feb. '13, 'cause that's where I'll be :-)

[flahagan]

We're on the 15-nt. Miracle Hawaii cruise in Sept. and I'm hoping it has a piano bar. We were on a med cruise on the Solstice in Nov., 2011, and they didn't have one. I really missed it. I'd sure look forward to one on the Miracle!

You go in for a good time, he will give you back a great time

Thanks for the info Buggystuff.

Me and my wild and crazy Ohio friends can bring it.

Hope he knows Hang On Sloopy.

With bad PB player last year, this sounds very good.

With your positive comments (I did find a couple others on Larry also),

we'll be ready to sail on April 28th.

The list is pretty up to date for the foreseeable future which is nice to have, just one future update for the Glory (there is one other schedule change, but I'm waiting for confirmation)

 

In other news a crazy group of piano fans just got back from Joe "Hollywood" Nagy's first week on the Victory and they are raving about him over on the Carnival Piano Bar-barians page. Yay!

 

Oh, and they've extended the Triumph's drydock by a little bit, so I'm guessing they will keep Russell on the Sensation for those extra days.

*** A note about this list: This list is compiled from reports and reviews of current cruisers and reports from the entertainers themselves. There is no guarantee of accuracy. An actual date usually means that the schedule has been confirmed by either the performer or someone inside Carnival. Schedules are subject to change. Also, this list is updated very regularly, so if it's not on the list, we probably don't know it.

:-P

I'm filling in, in a non-music director fashion, on the Dream at the moment. Piano Bar Bob is still here this week btw. I'm actually kinda bummed that I leave the day Brad gets here, 'cause I haven't seen him yet. Ah well.

Also, let me know if you'll be on the Splendor 4/23-7/12 or Valor 8/25-Feb. '13, 'cause that's where I'll be :-)

 

Dammit, I'm on the Breeze in October. You'll be going to the Splendor? That's cool, I'll be interested in what you think of the newbie Hailey. Plus, well you are home ported in my city, the coolest city in the world.

 

:-)

Just looking at your signature, you seem to have had some pretty good luck with piano entertainers (excepting the Freedom last year). I see you were on the Inspiration in July 2003. My first cruise on was on the Inspiration, the first week of July 2003. The piano bar entertainer was a Kiwi named Darin MacDonald. He was really good and started my love of Carnival piano bars.

 

Just thought I'd share.

 

Happy Cruising,
