“Performing
live is one of my favorite things,” said GRAMMY® Award-winner, Jennifer
Hudson at an exclusive launch event for Carnival LIVE in New York City
on January 22. “I’m
excited to be part of this unique concert series that will allow me to
interact with my fans in such an intimate and memorable setting.”
In
addition to the Carnival LIVE Concert Series, Carnival is also
enhancing its popular shipboard house bands. The bands will feature both
male and female lead singers, a
more choreographed, themed and diverse set list, and increased
interaction with guests. Nine Carnival ships currently feature the new
bands, with implementation across the full fleet over the course of this
year.
“Onboard
entertainment is an important part of the overall guest experience when
cruising,” said Mark Tamis, senior vice president of guest operations
for Carnival
Cruise Lines. “With the Carnival LIVE Concert Series, our guests will
enjoy an exclusive performance with one of their favorite artists for an
extraordinary value. Combined with our enhanced house bands fleetwide,
this is just another example of the many ways
we are constantly looking to create even more fun and memorable moments
for our guests.”
Tamis
added, “The Carnival LIVE 2014 Concert Series is also a great tool for
our travel agent partners, providing an additional feature at a great
value that can be promoted
when selling Carnival cruises.”
Beginning
in April 2014, Carnival LIVE concerts will take place on board eight
Carnival ships that call in the following ports: Cozumel, Mexico;
Nassau, the Bahamas; and Catalina
Island, California. Artists will join the ship while in port, perform
in the main show lounge that evening, and debark following their show.
Tickets
cost $20 to 40 each and a limited number of VIP tickets are also available
for each show for $100-$150 each. The VIP experience includes an artist
meet and greet, photo
opportunity, seating in the first three rows and a commemorative
laminated concert pass. All tickets can be purchased through Carnival’s
online Shore Excursion System prior to sailing, or on board
participating ships at the Shore Excursion Desk based on availability.
