SpeedsterX Posted January 10, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Wife and I found this band on the Carnival Sunshine. They were great! We loved going to see them every night they played and we danced the night away. I know the picture is a bit blurry but does anyone recognize them? I understand they may have been separate players Carnival brought together to make a band when needed but just wondering if they still play together and if anyone knows if they are on any certain ship? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedsterX Posted January 11, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Oh wow.......what kind of music do they play? My husband and I like to dance also!!! Good dancing bands are hard to find!!! They played a real mix but mostly 70's and 80's dance with a little disco and funk mixed in. We loved dancing to them! They were very good, we saw them in December of 2013. Yes, they were. Hopefully John Heald will answer me back on Facebook and I can find out if they're still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they were. Hopefully John Heald will answer me back on Facebook and I can find out if they're still around. I discovered that the band members of a given group are rotated as contracts expire. I was talking with the lead singer for one band on the Magic. He told me that this was the first cruise they performed for an audience.The band was put together by Carnival. They had never met each other before. The were given six weeks to rehearse and "jell". Edited January 11, 2016 by CRJ700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you were not too happy with Sunshine in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you were not too happy with Sunshine in general. Yes, thank you! We liked the Sunshine I suppose, why do you say that? Edit: I thought to myself, "How would this person know this?" Then I thought, "check my own posts dummy!" LOL! Very good RuthlessBoss! Yes, I had better cruises. Here's what I wrote after that cruise,,, "Don't get me wrong, we had a good cruise but I, personally, would not cruise the Sunshine again with better options such as the Dream or the Breeze. The workers were way over worked and it showed. No fridge, "checking in" at dinner, smaller balconies, no way to check account on TV, the childrens arcade (I call the kiddy casino), very confusing layout, SMALL main pool pushes the younger adult crowd to the Serenity Pool and I can honestly say, I had NO idea who the CD was because I am not sure I ever seen or heard him. They also push ALL foot traffic through the Casino including children. That may be done on other ships, I cannot recall but was pronounced on the Sunshine. Hey, any cruise is a good cruise but I'll take the other options next time. Loved the #thetruth Band!! Food was good, entertainment good and fewer lines for the comedy shows (believe it or not, I was shocked)." Good find RuthlessBoss and I assume you saw the whole post and seen the pictures I posted supporting my critique of the Sunshine. GREAT ship! Understaffed and poorly managed,,, imo Found a file someone posted and the Fun Times lists #TheTruth. They played at Ocean Plaza. I do believe that was them!
