Red-Sol Posted August 10, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hey folks, I just heard that the headliner for our Oasis 9/22 sailing is Chicago. (I'm pretty sure it's not the same Chicago as on Allure! ;) Anyone seen or have an opinion on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted August 10, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2012 It cant be the same. The stage isn't set of for it and they don't have the set. Edit - Wait.....it could be the popular group, Chicago. If so, that would be pretty cool. I remember dedicating all their songs to a girlfriend when I was a teen. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsail Posted August 10, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I would guess its the Chicago band from the 70's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Sol Posted August 10, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Yes actually I am quite familiar with the band and their music...wondering though if it is a tribute band..or the real thing. If the real thing those guys must be getting pretty old..just like me! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negc Posted August 10, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hey folks, I just heard that the headliner for our Oasis 9/22 sailing is Chicago. (I'm pretty sure it's not the same Chicago as on Allure! ;) Anyone seen or have an opinion on them? Chicago's website which shows their schedule from now until mid-November doesn't show them on Oasis on 9/22 although their schedule is clear from September 17th through the 26th, so it could be possible. More likely it is a Tribute band, or the source of that news has confused Oasis and Allure. :) I do have to think that if Chicago (the band) was appearing on Oasis anytime soon, the RCI publicity machine would be pumping out this information at high volume. They may be getting old but that doesn't seem to be slowing them down to any degree, if their concert schedule is any indication, and if you think they are "OLD" consider Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney among many others. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robntawn Posted August 10, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Interesting to read this...I also just got notification from web_reservations that Chicago was our headline entertainment on the 9/2/2012 Allure sailing as well! I was initially dubious, but your post has me wondering (hoping) if it might be true. I checked Chicago's website and they have a show on 9/2, but then the schedule is open until Friday (9/7). Since headline shows are Wednesday and Thursday, and Friday is a sea day, the only way for them to get off the ship would be helicopter. I don't see that happening, but who knows? I have asked RCCL for clarification and will share the response here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekatiel Posted August 10, 2012 #9 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I just read this info on our Roll Call, as well, and was curious. I googled it, and guess what came up??!! This thread :D:D! It will be interesting to see if it's the "real" Chicago or not! We had Mosaic on our last cruise, and they were awesome. I'm hoping for something just as entertaining. --Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekatiel Posted August 11, 2012 #13 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I did a little digging. It can't be the "real" Chicago because they are performing at some Gala on Wed. Sept. 26, which is one of the days the Headliner Show is scheduled for our cruise. Here's the link to the "real" Chicago's schedule: http://chicagotheband.us/events/event/listByDate?date=2012-09-26. SO, that still leaves us with the question of who/what is "Chicago" exactly? :confused: --Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robntawn Posted August 14, 2012 #16 Share Posted August 14, 2012 FTI: I just got an email from RCCL indicating that our entertainment was the comedy duo Mario and Daniel, and NOT Chicago. This was the 9/2/12 Allure cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a tribute band they wouldn't be using the name Chigago. Tribute bands usually use some sort of play on words as their name....like "Big Shot" - Billy Joel, or "Runaway" - Bon Jovi..... Who knows what this might be.......I don't think Chicago is above being a healiner on Oasis at this stage in their career........they play smaller venues near me..........

That's a good point about the name...usually it is something different for tribute bands. Although wasn't ABBA (and I assume that was a tribute) on either Oasis or Allure? I probably should send an email to Royal and see if I can get more information. (edit) I just sent Royal an email asking about this..I will post here when I hear something.

This was the 9/2/12 Allure cruise. That is not going to be the headliner. That will be the two comedians in the Comedy Club on Deck 4. I think. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenSeas1492 Posted August 14, 2012 #20 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Emailed RC the other day regarding "Chicago" being the headliner for this cruise (I will be on this sailing).

SevenSeas1492 Posted August 15, 2012 #22 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Here is the reply from RC to my request for headliner info on Allure's 9/2 sailing. I certainly cannot believe they don't have this info available. "Unfortunately, information regarding the headliner act will not be available prior to sailing. Please consult the daily Cruise Compass once onboard for activity and entertainment information. However, we are pleased to provide you with the following entertainment that is currently scheduled for the September 2, 2012 sailing of the Allure of the Seas: Mario & Daniel Comedy Duo Paul O'Shea Schooner Pianist Charlie Jourdan Pub Entertainer Smooth Sailing Floating Centrum DUO Please note that the onboard entertainment is subject to change.

Red-Sol Posted August 17, 2012 Author #24 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I pretty much received the same type of reply when asking about "Chicago" on our September 22nd Oasis sailing. This is what Royal sent: Thank you for your email. We apologize for the delay in our response. Unfortunately, information regarding the headliner act will not be available prior to sailing. However, we are pleased to provide you with the following entertainment that is currently scheduled for the September 22, 2012 sailing of the Oasis of the Seas: Mike Wilson Comedian Tony Tillman Male Vocalist Oleksandra & Sergii Ice Act Chris McCann Pub Entertainer City Lights Trio Centrum/VCL Trio Bruce Gordon Quartet Jazz Quartet Sol Y Arena Quartet Latin Quarter Production Shows: Hairspray Come Fly with Me Ice Show: Frozen in Time Parades: Rockin Rhythm Nation Dreamworks: Move It Move It Please note that the onboard entertainment is subject to change.

negc Posted August 17, 2012 #25 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I would be surprised if anyone besides Tony Tillman was the celebrity headliner on your sailing. He has been the headliner on several of our previous cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
