Where the music comes alive.
Stowaway Piano captures the classic piano bar experience at sea. Talented musicians take requests and lead the room in everything from classic rock to show tunes to modern hits. The energy builds as the night goes on—by midnight, the whole room is usually singing along. It's consistently one of the most fun, low-key entertainment options on the ship.
