Christopher Roy - Piano Bar Entertainer - Cruise CB124
Chris 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.
T
... he room was full until the last song every night!
See you in Manhattan Chris!
Cheers
Dennis
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.
Chris's sing along evening was a great hit with his audience family and left us all humming,
singing and whistling our old favorites for the remainder of the cruise.
Keep this going strong!
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.
“...Excellent show, very friendly - see my prior comment...”
“..What talent that man has! We really enjoyed his piano playing!..”
“...Really enjoyed his sets and in particular the show he did in the theatre with the orchestra...”
“..VERY TALENTED MAN WITH ABILITY TO MAKE YOU FEEL VERY RELAXED! FANTASTIC!..”

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.

Christopher is an exceptional Piano Player!
Easy Listening with a voice that brings you to peace and tranquility.
He was the highlight of my cruise and his piano playing and voice took me away from the stress and reality of life.
He has a pleasant personality, kind and respectful attitude.
I can only hope that when the ship returns to New York, he will be among the entertainers.
Chris provided fantastic piano and singing talents that engaged his Customers from start to finish!!
A very down to earth individual with a very pleasant attitude.
A tremendous talent!!
Chris is extremely talented and enjoyable to see perform.
We especially enjoyed the live show in the theater.

A polished professional entertainer.
