Run don't Walk to B.B. King's Blues Club

[cruz chic]

There was a BB King band on our Noordam cruise.

We walked by one evening.

Way too loud for our ears.

 

Thankfully it wasn't super loud on the NA. You could still order a drink without losing your voice. It seems like most bands in Calgary like to blow your ear drums out. I hate that. I enjoyed bb king very much.

If you're going on the Zuiderdam you will have the best drummer on the high seas. His name is Dave Mason,he is unbelievable!

Thanks for this. I can't take ear-splitting music. I'm looking forward to seeing the BB King band on the Noordam next August on my cruise to Alaska (hopefully they will be there) but I will be sure to bring earplugs.

Thanks for the warnings. If this entertainment is on my cruise I will "run, don't walk" in the opposite direction.

The B.B. King's Blues Band performances during the Eurodam's first Carribbean sailing was some of the best entertaintment you will find on or off a cruise ship.

 

Several nights were standing room only in the Queens Lounge. Old and new school funk, R&B, soul, gospel...they were a dynamo and the entertainment hub of the ship. If you were to be blind folded, put on th ship and brought to the perfomance, you would swear you were on a Carnival ship with all the dancing going on. The musicians were excellent perfomers and entertainers...15 on a scale of 1 to 10.

 

Besides the itinerary, having this band on my next cruise will be a top consideration.

Great to hear you loved the band!

 

Loved, absolutely LOVED, how your line about thinking you were on a Carnival ship. Nobody is telling tales out of school that HAL entertainment and life can be a bit on the somber side.

I hear some nights the people in the audience actually claim to SEE Mitch there in person. :)

Tried to get into B.B King's club in NYC the other night , but it was closed for a private party. Not sure who was playing there that night, but what we heard from outside the room sounded great.

This sounds awesome. I see by clicking on the link provided by the OP, that the schedule ends in January. I hope they extend it to the Ryndam in the summer!

 

When I click on the link from the OP, I can't seem to find the end date. Can someone help me out?

 

I will be on the Zuiderdam on the Jan. 2, 2015 sailing. It looks like today is the first day that the B.B. King group is playing. I really hope they will still be there on our sailing.
