Christopher Roy - Pianist / Singer - Rhyl, Wales Event Location: Caribbean Cruise Event Type: Cruise Ship

Christopher Roy - Piano Bar Entertainer - Cruise CB124 Christopher was entertaining, warm and approachable. When I told him that I did the same kind of work in New York City, He invited me to play and sing a couple of songs at his piano, and did so on other nights during the cruise. Pianists are often territorial or snobbish, he was neither, and took the opportunity to jam with me on his sax! In addition, Chris put on a show with the help of the ship's orchestra. Loyal fans that we were we attended and had a fabulous time. The room was full until the last song every night! See you in Manhattan Chris! Cheers Dennis

Christopher Roy - Piano Bar Entertainer - Cruise CB124 Chris made our cruise! Of all the fine entertainment venues our party enjoyed, Chris quickly became our favorite. He is not only an amazing musician and entertainer, but he has a unique and wonderful way of connecting with his audience. He emanates warm regard, respect, and appreciation for each member of the audience, and for the ship's musicians and entertainers and every member of the hardworking staff. His collaborative spirit and enthusiastic love of great music made it possible for us to also enjoy the amazing talents of our fellow passengers, Dennis piano and vocal, and the "Fivers" backup vocals. It was an extra treat when this consummate musician and entertainer played sax with the amazingly talented theatre orchestra and then again, in response to our request, with Dennis in the piano bar.

All were excellent, but outstanding was Christopher Roy.
We looked forward to hearing him each evening.
It was a pleasure to listen to him and a lot of fun.
He appeared to engage his audience in his playing and selections.

Christopher Roy - Piano Bar Entertainer - Cruise CB123
Chris is a very professional, talented, and enjoyable performer.
His selection of music is outstanding, well-performed, and is always very appropriate to the venue.
We enjoyed spending at least part of every evening in the piano bar, enjoying Chris's work.
His ability to play 95% of the music he performs (including our weird requests!) without sheet music is simply amazing.
The "theme" nights that Chris sets up (Billy Joel/Elton John night, Beatles Night, Singalong, Name That Tune, etc.)
helped to make the evenings even more fun.
We also commend Chris on his professionalism!
Thanks Chris!!

The regular crowd shuffles in!
Chris is an amazingly talented man.
His knowledge of such a wide variety of music and his ability to present it so beautifully
made it a pleasure for my husband and I to go to his venue (which we did most evenings this cruise).
He is friendly and attentive to his audience in addition to being extremely talented.
He is a marvelous piano player and interacted with the audience beautifully.
He was terrific!
His performances at the piano bar were fabulous as was his farewell evening performance in the theatre.
Enjoyed visiting there several nights.
