My one cruise on the Destiny was a slight disappointment because the piano lounge was more like a glorified karaoke bar with no one singing except the piano player. I haven't seen this sort of entertainment on other cruiselines -- are there other classes of ships on other lines that have the sing-along piano bar nightly? Yes, HAL ships, Statendam to current, any RCI ship with Schooner bar, sing-alongs can be in pretty much any area with a piano, but I think works better in a separate area. Celebrity has piano bars in their Millennium ships, the converted Michael's clubs, but I'm not sure what type of activities go on in there. I think how well it works depends on the piano player, the pax (depends on whether the pax know the tunes, could be show tunes, era tunes (70s, 80s, disco, standards, etc.). I like piano players that have a shtick, a rapport with the audience and play off of the audience. Ben S. -- Asya Kamsky "To forgive is an act of compassion.

Actually, we were on the Paradise in January and had a great time in the piano bar. The mic just kept going to whoever wanted to sing next, and it usually wasn't too crowded so it made its way around pretty quickly. The whole crowd sang, but the person who had the mic got to pick out the song out of the songbook. Seemed like a good way to go -- if the piano player makes the choices sometimes you end up with the same bunch of songs every night! -- Asya Kamsky "To forgive is an act of compassion.

The Ryndam does & the singer was horrible! Still can't figure out how he got the job... Ryndam is a Statendam class ship, therefore it has a piano bar. The Ryndam's singer depends on when you go, the same singer you had may be on the Volendam now. Or maybe he was a fill-in. Who was he and what did you not like about him? Ben |

Ben Hi - Sorry I can't remember his name & threw out our daily programs, but it was the Sea of Cortez 9 day New Year's cruise X San Dec. 29th or 30th, 2002. His voice was just awful & he would yell - pax would hurry by the doors plugging their ears! Too bad, as seemed like a really cute bar. |
