Can anyone tell me what the current entertainment is in the Chart Room? On my last cruise, over 2 years ago, they had quite a good jazz trio which I sat and listened to after dinner. I would suspect they have been replaced by now.

 

It is still the Mark Hodgson trio.

Are they on every evening?

 

Does the Chart Room ever feature a pianist or string quartet as on QV? If not it will be best avoided in our case.

 

Think the Winter Garden or CC sound the best options for classical, popular/ show or quiet background music.

Before dinner there is a string quartet, pianist or harpist normally but afterwards it becomes "The Jazz Club" and Mark plays for a couple of hours each evening. I'm not a jazz fan either.:eek:

There's usually the jazz trio. They're always very good. Loud enought to enjoy, but never too loud to overcome conversation.

It is a shame that Campbell Simpson has departed from Cunard and now works on board Fred Olsen's ships.:(:(

 

Agree! A very talented man and will be sadly missed by many.

 

I will not be transferring my allegiance to the FO brand, even if I do miss CS!

We were on the Canaries voyage last year when he went AWOL in Madeira last November. He was sorely missed after that! There were rumours that he had gone on a bender.....great bloke. Hope he does come back :(

You've got to be kidding. :eek:

 

 

Last time I was on board, they played so loud, you could hear them in the casino ... one deck down. :rolleyes:
