Nate Y Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Maybe I have a soft spot for lounge piano, maybe the tequila made me a soft audience, but I enjoyed listening to Sam the Stowaway on my recent trip on Indy. Anyone else enjoy his performances? I'm a little disappointed he doesn't seem to have any online presence. LCWind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is very entertaining and used to play in the elevators. bryresangel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedNoodles Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I loved it pre-Covid, when they were able to ride the elevators stuffed with guests - we'd ride along and sing - people in other elevators would spot or hear the Stowaway elevator and wonder what the heck was going on! Good times. Baked Alaska, Pattycruise, teddy and 2 others 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just plays in the hallway between the elevators now. He was my husband's FAVORITE performer, and I very cheerfully would belt out an off-key tune if I heard him while in the halls.

SpeedNoodles Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 I saw one on Odyssey and one on Allure. They just put up ropes around the piano so you can't get close (so people don't gather around and sing anymore - it's just not the same).

barjpoe Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Are there a few Stowaway Piano players? We just came of Mariner and there was one there. There was one on Allure in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Y Posted February 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 I kind of prefer him playing to the bar than in an elevator. Maybe I'd think differently if I actually shared an elevator with him, but I'd rather be able to get where I want to go than find out my elevator is already full with three people and a piano.

We took a different "spin" on The Stowaway's "Elevator Music" on Harmony once. As we were passing by the elevators on a lower deck we saw him a few decks above. We joined him in the elevator (only 3 people with him). He started playing Crocodile Rock and we started the tightest Swing Dance we could fit. I think we cleared the elevator (oooooops). Had a great time singing and dancing with a piano player in an elevator ... not a normal land vacation occurrence. If a "Stowaway" is on a ship, we are always on the lookout.

ptod Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Just off Symphony and we were on the lookout for the Stowaway Piano player. He would set up in the hallway between the elevator banks. Unfortunately, the only time we saw him playing we were in an elevator and had an appointment with food or a hot tub and couldn't stop. We have priorities. We did see him a few other times while we were in On Air losing at trivia. He would roll his piano in to a back room when he was taking a break.

mathbees Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Saw him on Odyssey in October. Definitely worth finding him in the passageways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjac Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Just finished a two week B2B on the Odyssey of the Seas, Feb 26- Mar 12, no StS (Sam...) anywhere to be seen nor heard. The first week the presentation by the ship Captain and the Cruise Director, I asked about the fellow and the cruise director he would be on board the second week. Well, he was wrong. Was not impressed by the CD at all. The Captain was a real hoot. Have you ever heard a ships Captain make this announcement on a port day, "Attention all crew memebers this is the Captain speaking. Wakey waky waky waky. Time for crew drills". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zummi Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) We were on Navigator in September and Piano man was in the elevator. Love watching him go up and down. He had tambourines and other instruments for the riders. Edited October 19, 2022 by Zummi spelling error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were six of us waiting what it seemed like forever for the elevator and then "Stowaway" was on the one we finally caught. I have problems with loud noises and gave him a tip if he would just wait for us to get off the elevator before he began to play again.

CrimsonCruiser Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 On Odyssey last year I saw him being moved around with staff so I asked if he had finally been caught for stowing away. It took a second but he chuckled and shrugged like "guess I did". It was a brief but fun interaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScooterScott22 Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Stowaway Piano player was out and about on the Wonder in March. Can’t remember which but saw him around on either the Harmony or Navigator earlier in the past year. Did not see him on Allure last month.
