Who are your favorite entertainers that you have seen on your cruises?

Mine: Sigmund Groven-- - great harmonica virtuoso.

Glenn Smith-- An overall musician-played a lot of instruments and sang as well.

Frankie Avalon- Great Rock and Roller.

Bowser from Shana Nana-- Besides the Rock and Roll a very good classical pianist (a real surprise).

Haha, It would have to be Wilde and Haynes, comedians from Vision OTS, just hilarious and made our cruise that much better and memorable.

Having Rita Moreno sing songs from West Side Story was pretty cool on a QE2 cruise to Hawaii.

Desirod7,
Ella sang in both the Queens Room and in the Ritz Carlton. It seems to me it was in the Queens Room rather earlier and late in the Ritz Carlton. I think she sang two nights with a night or so in between. As I remember, she had her own musicians with her.

Is the excellent Lecturer Larry Rudner still going strong?
