TheRick Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Do most ships have tribute bands or only certain ships or classes of ships? I’ve seen tribute bands in some of the old cruise compasses but not all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen tribute bands in some of the old cruise compasses but not all. I was told at one time that "tribute bands" were somewhat unique to Quantum Class ships, pre-COVID. But, now I believe it is hit and miss. TheRick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Miller Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 We had an Areosmith cover band on Anthem for 4/3 sailing. And I think they had a Led Zeppelin cover band in before that. TheRick and YOLO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Pre Covid we saw such groups on longer cruises different classes. YOLO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steverk Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 I've had shows with headliner tribute bands on smaller ships. These include Franki Valley and the Four Seasons on Rhapsody, the 4 Tops (actual band) on Radiance and the Eagles on Liberty. So, I'd have to say it is hit and miss.

twangster Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Quantum and Oasis class with a Music Hall typically will have a tribute band. Other ships may have an entertainer that specialized in a genre of music as a "headliner". This is somewhat more random compared to ships that have a dedicated Music Hall.

Yes, not only did we have Aeromyth (https://www.aeromyth.com/) once in 270. & twice in the Music Hall, but in the theater we had https://ryanmolloy.com/dreamers.asp as a Frankie Valli tribute.

YOLO Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Another great band we have seen many time on the Anthem are The Royal Swedes (https://theroyalswedes.com/). They are a house band rather than a tribute, but sometimes plays sets which consist of specific artists/styles/genres. We love them. Actually, we first we first heard about the Cruise Shutdown from The Royal Swedes during an Anthem set they were playing on March 13, 2020 - yup they made that announcement on Friday the 13th !!!

FoxboroCruiser Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 We had No Quarter (Led Zeppelin cover band) and Beatles Celebration on our Anthem cruise that ended today. Both were really good! Never thought I’d like a tribute band but I have to admit I enjoyed both.

It was a great show that also featured Miles Schon who is lead guitar of DSB, Journey cover band that also played on that sailing). I love seeing the bands in the Music Hall of the Quantum ships.

Oh maaaaaan, I'd love to be on a cruise that had a good Lez Zeppelin tribute band. My all time favorite band. I also like Boston, very much. The U2 tribute band that was on our Bermuda cruise (Anthem of the Seas) was great, musically, technically, vocally.

YOLO Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 I also saw a U2 tribute on the Anthem before the pandemic. They were https://u2lavation.com/. The also played at the Stadium Theatre in Woonsocket, RI a few months before the cruise, but was able to make it to that show. Wish I had. I keep waiting for them to come back...

Avy Gonzalez Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 I saw the Beatlemaniacs on the Oasis of the Seas in February 2022. They were fantastic, I don't think we missed any of their performances. Sure would love to know their ship tour schedule, would love to see them again.

Va4fam Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Anthem just had a Van Halen cover band (FAN HALEN) for two weeks in November. We saw No Quarter (Led Zep) on our recent Oasis sailing, and Wanted(Bon Jovi) several years ago. All on Oasis/Quantum ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfsu21 Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Mandalay Bay house band “Phoenix” played on Oasis a few nights for a New Years cruise a couple years ago. Great band, we enjoyed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steverk Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 I've seen tribute bands on every class of ship currently sailing. However, they appear regularly on newer classes than the older ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neesa Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 In my PERFECT Royal World I would love it (I know it would be a logistics nightmare) if we could know ahead of time what tribute bands would be performing. I am confident in saying I would book a sailing just to experience the Journey tribute band DSB I believe & the Zepplin one as well. I personally would pass on Bon Jovi but we went to high school with him back in the day when we lived in NJ & hearing that music so much I don't really enjoy it anymore. Sayreville NJ High School Baby!!

RCVoyager Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 The heck with Tribute bands. Why not see the real thing? Sixthman has been doing this for 20 years. They used to use Carnival for their music cruises, until Carnival created their own "Sixthman" copy. I think it is still in existence as well as Sixthman. https://www.sixthman.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every show they played different set - we skipped other activities to see them again. Original Zep band member (can't remember which) has said this band sounds exactly like the original. At one show they asked for requests and were quite surprised when my husband yelled out "Hotdog!". They hadn't rehearsed that one so they didn't play it, but called my DH a true Zep fan.

ci_i Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 I saw the beatlemaniacs on Saturday the 7th 2023 . I was wondering if anyone knows who played George that night, he looked new. If anyone knows that'd be great! I would love to follow the band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
