Rosario Strings on the Grandeur

[neworleanscruiser]

Does anyone know if the Rosario Strings are still sailing on the Grandeur? We are sailing in 77 days and I love to listen to this group play. Thanks for any information.:)

They had a Rosario duo in March 2006. You do know that there are a bunch of Rosario strings? (different duos and trios that are all named the same)

There was a trio on the Sovereign last weekend.

It's very interesting that there are several Rosario Strings. They were on the Sovereign for our sailing 9/4 and we definitely enjoyed listening to these talented musicians (especially the pianist/vocalist Anthony).

Somewhere there was a history posted about the Rosario Strings, maybe here on CC. If memory serves me correctly, there was the original Rosario family. They provided a couple of duos or trios to a few RCL ships. The demand became greater and they began training others to fill the demand for more Rosario Stringers for the ships. No, it's not quite a franchise operation, but I believe the original family still recruits and trains the musicians.

To summarize the above responses, you can go on ANY RCI ship and hear Rosario Strings :)

Mercifully they don't have them on Monarch of the Seas. Maybe I'm jinxed, but every set of them we've heard have been out of tune and screechy.

They were not on the Freedom this summer. I think they were on the Serenade in 2004.

They are all over the place.....even on other cruise lines. They have always sounded great to me.

We have seen them in our travels twice, and of the two times there is the one violinist who was the same both times. Magnificent!

We saw a Rosario duo on Radiance early this year and they were terrific. Then we were shocked to see a trio in Aug. on Majesty--they were also very good. Never seen them on another line.

We too saw the trio on the Majesty on the 09/04 sailing. They were very good! I hope to see a version of them on the Serenade in Feb. I don't recall if they were there last Feb.

Thanks everyone for your help. Maybe I will be lucky and have a group of Rosario Strings on my sailing.

RosarioStrings.net provides a brief history and some pictures of the various groups.

Love the classical music... just wish they would not have to compete with all the lobby noise.

Thanks for the cruise offer, but I am going on the Grandeur on December 9, 2006.
