If you have sailed the Conquest recently....
We have seen the Carnival Legends show where guests are dressed up like celebs and sing a ship-selected song. We have also seen the Guest Talent Show where the guest gets to sing a song of their own choice.

My question is - which do they now have on board the Conquest? I think they have recently gotten a new Cruise Director (Wee - something), and the ladies in our group want to do a Talent Show song. I need to find out if they need to be practicing!!!:)

We sail in February. If you remember what show they had, or if you still have your Capers, please let me know!

Thanks!!

Don,

We did the Conquest last October and yes, the wee Scotchman is the CD -kilts and all. They were and do believe still are at last contact doing the Legends Show the last night in the theater. Do have you ladies go to Karaoke night at the start of the cruise and sing and get to know the audience and have them get to know the ladies. The audience in fact is the ones who choose the guest to sing as Garth Brooks, Madonna, Brittney and in my case when we on Conquest in April 2008, Frank Sinatra. I was chosen by the audience and did sing as Frank Sinatra in the May 3, 2008 Legends Show- See the video

I did not sing all that much during the September, 28 - October 5, 2008 Conquest cruise. Hence, did not know the audience in Karaoke and when I did sing for the Frank part . . .well the other guy trying out had more family in the audience and more people who heard him sing every night. and he got the loudest clap. Good for him. I was happy. You have to commit some amount of time to practice the song for the show night (live band and NO WORDS and it is not a song you have done most likely in Karaoke) plus it takes up most of the evening of your last night of cruise.

The DJ at Karaoke during the September, 28 - October 5, 2008 Conquest cruise was from the Philippines (sp) and seem to lack that special something to relate to an audience. Might have someone new when you guys get onboard.

BTY, we'll be on the RCL Voyager OF The Seas Feb 1, 2009 for a 7 day out of Galveston. Look to the aft part of the ship and give a wave to us on the VoTS . . .think that is the week you folks were cruising.

Thanks, Texaspepper! We are sailing on Feb.8, so you should be getting off when we are getting on. The girls have a particular number they want to do, so the karaoke/Legends show is not what they are looking for. We just got off the Fascination, and I was in the Guest Talent Show where you can sing anything you choose as long as the band has music for it. The Guest Talent Show is what they are looking for.
I tried your video link and it did not work.

Right Don, I know what you are talking about in the Guest Talent Show. I did that on the 15 Day Voyager Of The Seas also. It was held in the Main Theater on an afternoon. I sang with a life band singing the song of my choice. I did not have sheet music, so in rehearsal, I sat at the piano and played the chords for the guitar player, bass and the keyboard player. They picked it up and did it at the 3PM show. They were great. Hey, got the medal to show for it! Ta Da

Sorry, I put the wrong URL in the the Carnival Legends Show. .. it is http://www.texaspepper.net/Cruise.htm. What a web master I am when I can't even put in my own URL. =huh

I sailed on the Conquest two years ago and not only did I see the Legends show I was in it. I can't tell you if they still are doing that, but it was a riot when we did it, and the rest of the passengers really seem to enjoy it as well. Have fun, and enjoy, and if David is still the Karaoke Host, Give him my regards!
