I will be on a Crystal cruise at the end of June and just noticed that Kenny will be one of the featured entertainers/comedian! I've read so much about him on this board and I'm really excited that he will be on my cruise. I am not aware of him working on a Crystal cruise previously. Is he still performing on Regent?

When we were on Navigator, he said that he was "going home with us" and that he didn't have a contract to go back on with RSSC. I assumed it was because it was close to the end of the year, and contracts would be signed soon. Guess not. For those of us who stick with RSSC, that's a sad note.

he was just here in toronto and now is on the queen victoria from australia to hong kong

he and his wife were here for a week for my wifes
birthday

and yes he is going to take other bookings from now
on

like us platinum members rssc sometimes forgets
how they got to be where they are!!!

Regent has not treated some of our favorite entertainers well. They've left the building, just like Elvis. Frankie Holiday wasn't signed back on either.

NOTE
RSSC ALSO lost NAKI ATAMAN

some of tehir entertainers have been really really bad sam perry and i watch as an old comedian almost fell of stage and couldnt rememebr his jokes
we thought for sure he was going to elave in an ambulance

we even watched again the next night just to see how much worse it could be

they have reduced so much and it is too bad
even on the navigator they use to have at least
a few entertainers in portofino at night

now it is just down to jeery or roberto

such a shame as never could one person be enough for the room but i guess it cots too much


even mona lisa may not come back after having her second baby

Naki Ataman also performs on Crystal. He probably was performing on both lines at the same time. I've heard so many great things about Kenny Smiles and it's a big loss for Regent.

I just received this email from Kenny's wife Lorraine:

Hi
This is Kenny Smiles wife Lorraine. I was just reading the chat page and read your entries. Just to let you know Kenny will be back with Regent on the 20th April until the 10th May as he will be doing the back to back crossings on the Voyager. He then has a lot more dates booked with Regent for the remainder of 2008.
Best wishes
Lorraine

Oh, that's incredible news! November was the first time we got a chance to see him, and we didn't want it to be the last.

Yes, this is wonderful news! I figured Regent wasn't dumb enough to get rid of Kenny, he is just too good! Unfortunately, his next Regent cruise is when some of are on CAMEL with Silversea. Hopefully this is the case with Frankie Holiday as well, contract just not yet signed as of the last contact with lct cruisers.
