Best Piano Entertainer on Carnival? (Part 2)

[divetrash]

Hey Laura... It's only a bit over a month now till BC5. So I'm checking with you to see what I need to pack... my leisure suit or my toga.

Bob,

 

We decided to go with a Tiki bar theme for the Monday night party. Tiki heads, leis, grass skirts, Hawaiian shirts, etc.

 

Hope to see you there!

It maybe be a bit early yet, but is there any information about who will be on the Breeze when she starts service in June? (sailing on her June 15)

It's not confirmed yet, which is why it is not on the list, but they've talked to Ron Pass about it and it is likely he will do it.

 

Happy cruising,

 

Laura

You're welcome! We piano bar lovers have to have each other's backs!

 

And I see from your updates that Marty Gast is going to be on the Splendor! Those folks are going to have a great treat...he is so much fun!!! He's the first PB player to excite me since Damian!:D

[bp traveler]

Hi Laura - glad to see you are still supporting the piano bar! We haven't spent as much time in them on the last few cruises - hoping for a fun one on the Conquest.

 

Anyone know who will be taking over for the 3/25/12 sailing out of NOLA?

 

Thanks

[Mary49]

As anyone heard of Brennan Villines? He's going to be on the Miracle and I was just wondering about him. Thanks for info.

[caesar68]

Bumping this up, hoping someone off the Miracle will give a review on Brennan the new entertainer in the piano bar....:rolleyes:

[MszKitty]

It's not confirmed yet, which is why it is not on the list, but they've talked to Ron Pass about it and it is likely he will do it.

 

Happy cruising,

 

Laura

 

I was hoping it would be Barry Miller. Darn it! I'm such a big fan of his (been on several cruises with him as the piano bar entertainer).

But I will keep an open mind about Ron Pass.

 

Thanks for the info. I'll check back later for the update.

[BarbG]

Does anyone have any comments on Keith Turner who's on the Spirit?? :)

I think you'll enjoy Ron. He is the best out there.

BarbG,

 

Ceegers posted this about him a few days back:

 

"I think it's gonna depend on what you like with him. He uses tracks for most of his upbeat songs. He's very much a jazz guy and plays crazy nuts solos, although some of you probably don't care to hear that in a piano bar, depends on what you like. He's a great guy and has a great personality."

 

Happy Cruising,

 

Laura

[bbmom2boys]

Attention all Dream cruisers between now and March 3rd...you are in for a real treat! Dave is amazing....so talented and such a wonderful person! The piano bar is always a favorite place for us and Dave made this cruise for us! He is a true musician and you will be lucky enough to share in his talents! Just be sure to request "Red Solo Cup" he loves that song! ;)

Actually, no, that was two different parts to my post... the first part was simply saying he's on the Spirit. The description was about Imani on the Magic. The quote of my post that didn't include the quotes I quoted made my entry misleading.

 

Haven't actually listened to Keith yet... I should do so soon...

When should we hear about the Conquest's replacement?

 

When I board on the 11th???:rolleyes:

Barry is the best. Where is he? We had a blast when we were with him. He even proposed to his gf while we were there

Barry just got off the Sensation at the end of January and is currently on vacation.

 

Happy Cruising,

Wow still nothing on Brendan Villines? C'mon recent Miracle travelers, we are anxiously waiting your review.:D I can't seem to find anything on him.

Looking for the same info - we sail Mar 9!!

I'm waiting, too. He's obviously new to Carnival so we'll have to wait for a Miracle cruiser to come back and report. I have a bunch of friends sailing her on Tues, so I will see what they have to say. I was able to find some stuff of his on YouTube, but it's not piano bar type of music...

[buggystuff]

Go to the roll calls for a previous sailing perhaps?

 

Still waiting to hear who's on the Freedom Feb 25th. Only listed through the 19th, so roll call won't do me much good :mad:

[stanner2009]

Hopefully someone will post before we go!!
