Tribute to Journey

[tommy]

We just off the Equinox Dec 14 sailing We went to the show and it was bad It was a lot of guitar solos and not enough singing The lead singer kept leaving the stage I have never seen so many people walk out of a show At least 50 people walked out We kept waiting for the show to get better It didn't and we finally walked out Anyone else see the show?

We caught the 7 pm show.  The singer was more of a distraction.  We found the guitarist pretty good.  The pianist was great until he was doing back up vocals--terrible.  I did see a few people leave early though.

Glad I didn't go then.

We've walked out of several concerts by Journey … I can't imagine how bad it must be to walk out on a tribute band!!

[Nymich]

Don't stop Believing that eventually with a few adjustments it can be a good show!

September 2019 Summit cruise the Journey Tribute band Resurrection was fantastic. The theater was packed.

I think it might have been the age demographics on this sailing. It seemed to me that there where a lot of seniors myself included. I thought it was a good show. It is very difficult to find someone who can duplicate the vocal range of Steve Perry.

Yes, 9:00 PM show.  Even during their encore. Cell phone flashlights waving back and fourth and a lot of us singing along.  And on that cruise there was a lot of us seniors. Rock on!

As a friend once said... “There are people who like Journey and others who are wrong” 😋

 

That said, how good (or bad) the cover band is can determine whether it’s a good show or not.  What was the name of the cover band on Equinox?  

[sjb317]

We saw a Journey tribute band on Equinox in July and they weren’t bad. The guitarist was really good. People seemed to be enjoying the show and the theater was full, even to the end.  They did another show in the Centrum one night and it was packed also.

I've learned over the years that I don't enjoy concerts much.  I'd rather listen to the music at home.  But I can/do enjoy on board if the music is good.

We always sit in the barstool seats at the back of the theater on Deck 4 so we can make a discrete withdrawal if we need to...

[Luvcrusn]

hh- we sit in the back row upper level for the same reason!

[zitsky]

I like to sit on the aisle for the same reason.

Point taken🍸🍷

[maggieq]

What was the name of the band?  We have seen Resurrection twice on the Jewel and three times in the anthem and they were amazing. We were not even Journey fans until we saw them.  

[pawmtweez]

I am also curious as to the name of the band.  We can take or leave Journey, but loved DSB on Anthem.

Those pop-up bars are more trouble than they're worth for me.  They tend to hand write receipts that often get confused and I'm charged for drinks that are included on the beverage package.  Not worth the aggravation of then going to GS to get the charges reversed.  I'll stick with the back row.

Can't you just say...I have drink package classic/premium so drink is free (at time of transaction?)

They collect the cards and come back with these receipts.  I assume that even with the beverage package they need to keep track of the inventory.
