B B King Blues Clubs @ Sea

[Roburt]

We head off on our winter break in Florida in less than a month. On this trip we're also taking our usual Caribbean cruise. For the 1st time, we've booked a cruise with Holland America. Seven of their ships currently have B.B. King's Blues Clubs ........... see info below ......  

B.B. King's Blues Club on Holland America ships is a musical experience that takes place in the Queen's Lounge six nights per week. An eight-man band (two vocalists backed by a drummer, bassist, guitarist, saxophone player, trumpeter and organist) plays a variety of blues tunes and rock 'n' roll, ranging from fast and funky to slow and soulful. During the roughly 45-minute performances, passengers take over the dance floor and are entertained with hits like Aretha Franklin's "Respect." It's not uncommon for people to attend more than one show per cruise ....    The venue itself takes on the look and feel of the popular namesake club, with a replica of its famous neon sign & pictures of B.B. King himself. Three show times are available each night (8:45, 9:45 and 10:45). Additionally, the band occasionally performs in other areas of the ship. There is no cover charge for the B.B. King's Blues Club experience, though alcoholic beverages will cost you. B.B. King's Blues Club is found on the following ships: Koningsdam, Eurodam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam, Oosterdam, Rotterdam, Westerdam & Zuiderdam.

I've visited on-shore BB King's before but never experienced one of these shipborne venues. Anyone here got experience of them ??
