Royal Caribbean testing family steel drum lesson activity on their cruise ship
A new activity we are working on, (& quietly piloting on select ships). This will go fleetwide soon. It’s the perfect family activity, and a great addition to our award winning #AdventureOcean programming.

Instruments & Equipment for Cruise Industry
Several leading manufacturers of musical instruments and audio solutions, such as Yamaha, also sell to the cruise industry, besides selling to individuals, schools, and professional musicians.
Live entertainment is one of the several attractions on a cruise ship, and besides requiring experience musicians, Cruise ship’s also need top quality music instruments and audio solutions, in order to wow their guests.
Years back, Yamaha was invited to place its world class drum sets on the ships of Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. And more recently, Yamaha went on board with Crystal Cruises to test Music DeLIGHTS, the first group program to use the lighted keys of Yamaha EZ-220 portable keyboards that allows beginners to experience the joy of making music –instantly and effortlessly – simply by following the lights.
At the Seatrade show, Yamaha displayed several high-tech pianos as well as its powerful Commercial Installation Solutions for the cruise industry.
Yamaha offers several prooducts (digital mixer, processors, power amplifiers, speakers) that connect seamlessly with the MusicCast and ENSPIRE ecosystem via the Provisionaire Touch app for iOS, which can control all three platforms, providing versatile control over a wide range of music sources, including Background Music/Paging and Zoning/Distribution.
Discreet yet powerful, NEXO speaker systems can shift effortlessly from creating a background vibe to filling the dance floor, and can be used as mains for a small lounge, as fill speakers for a larger performance space and as outside deck/poolside speakers, since they possess an “all-weather” outdoor rating.
“Yamaha has enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship with the cruise ship industry for many years, and we are proud to provide a one-stop shop for musical instruments and commercial audio systems. We are humbled by the accolades we have received around the world, which only inspire us to provide the finest, most reliable products that greatly appeal to cruise ship organizations and their guests,” David Jewell, marketing communications manager, Yamaha.
Yamaha Disklavier
The Disklavier has fascinated guests of the finest cruise ships, restaurants and hotels around the world.
Known for its beautiful tone and tuning reliability on the high seas, the Disklavier meets everything that a cruise ship needs:
- High-quality acoustic piano for live performance
- On-demand fully orchestrated entertainment system when the band goes on break.
The new Disklavier ENSPIRE is the most popular, reliable and versatile self-playing piano in the world. Easily controlled by the company’s Provisionaire Touch app for iOS, Disklavier ENSPIRE provides direct access to over 500 built-in songs and over 6,000 performances that include an extensive library of hospitality-focused, island and sea-themed song favorites.
What’s more, Yamaha has linked the Disklavier ENSPIRE to Yamaha’s highly acclaimed MusicCast wireless multiroom audio system, creating the world’s first wireless multiroom instrument capable of playing beyond the four walls of a ship lounge to any cabin on the ship – even on deck.
Yamaha N3X Grand Piano
N3X is Yamaha’s newest flagship AvantGrand piano that offers performers and ship guests alike the experience of playing two of the world’s most revered pianos – the Yamaha CFX concert grand piano and the Bösendorfer Imperial grand piano.
Despite its regal looks, the piano has a contemporary, space-saving design, and is over 500 pounds lighter, five feet shorter and one-fifth the price of a typical concert grand, yet offers the same touch, tone and artistic connection of the company’s finest $100,000+, 9-foot concert grand pianos.
And since it’s digital, N3X doesn’t need tuning (salt air environments won’t affect its tuning), which provides significant cost-saving benefit to the cruise industry.
