Thread: Who had the best entertainment you've seen?

I thought that Disney had the best talent/production values, but for enjoyment, it is really a mix. I really like some of the cheesy stuff on Carnival, and LOVED the Broadway show on Royal. It just depends on what you are in the mood for. Of course, I am always a sucker for a piano bar. Give me a piano man, and I'll be fine

KayAnnie- you have to go to the piano bar on the Millennium. Carlos gives a very good show of a combination Broadway and rat pack stuff. We went to see him every night on our cruise. (ask him to do the beer song)

As far as the best entertainer goes this is an excerpt from a review we wrote for our Celebrity Constellation New Year 2008 cruise:

We may have stumbled onto the best entertainer on the high seas, Perry Grant. He plays the piano and sings in Michael's Club. Actually he does more than that, you just have to be there to find out. He packs the place every night and finding a place to sit is a challenge. We usually went in around a quarter to midnight and were able to find chairs and room on the small dance floor area in front of his piano to dance the fox-trot. We met folks that have been on the Constellation multiple times just to see him perform. We would rate his singing and piano skills, and his banter with the crowd as A+++!

We posted a brief video on Youtube we took of him on that cruise. The video has had over 16,000 views! There are quite a few other videos of him performing.

Now, as far as entertainment we look at that for what we like to do--dance. The best dance bands have been, in our opinion, on HAL with Princess and Celebrity close behind.

Hi I enjoy all the productions shows on most cruise lines albeit some are better than others. On a recent cruise on Silver Cloud (Silversea) I particularly enjoyed a operatic based show. However, my favourite show of all time was an excellent Beatles tribute band on Cunard's QM2

Ah, yes, Perry Grant. He is a hoot. Only problem with his show is that with all his followers, you can't get in to the lounge to see him most of the time. The place fills up with his groupies hours before his shows. It is almost worth the multihour wait!

Aqua Theater? Is this a synchronized swimming show like "O" in Las Vegas? I would absolutely love to see that if it is!

I don't believe you can see too many song and dance shows. No way could I ever get tired of them, especially if Cirque du Soleil's the performing group. I would book a dance cruise if I could.

It's not synchronized swimming, it's more of a diving and trampoline show that's sort of hard to describe.

I have to add Celebrity based on my latest cruise, virtually every show was really good ( except for an annoying pianist comedian, but his piano playing was good). We had three big production shows and we went to both showings of each.

Trouble is I can't vote again
