We rocked with The Dukes on Ovation of the Seas every night for 39 days. Natasha, Addy and Gore played a great variety of music that always got people up on the dance floor. My favourite song was Am I ever gonna see your face again?
Peter -
As per previous comment 39 amazing days with The Dukes, as Aussie’s The Angels hit Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again, great performances.

During our cruise on Anthem of the Seas, we had the pleasure of discovering a band we’ll never forget — The Dukes. Over the course of 3.5 weeks, I don’t think we didn’t miss a single one of their performances in the Music Hall.
Their energy and talent made every night unforgettable, turning our cruise into a true adventure filled with fun and entertainment.
If you ever have the chance to see The Dukes, make sure to stop by, listen, watch, and dance. You won’t regret it!

My 9 year old son and I rocked most nights of our NZ cruise on Ovation with The Dukes. It was by far the highlight of our cruise for both of us. My son absolutely loved listening to you guys and he made sure we were there early enough to get seats front and centre for most sessions. The Dukes made it so special by learning my son’s name and saying hi to him each night. They gifted him a pick, a postcard and on the final night signed drumsticks. Great music, great energy and great people. My son now rocks his The Dukes shirt around town and proudly displays his gifts in his room. Hopefully we can make it onto another cruise with The Dukes.

My husband has rarely danced with me in our 37 years of marriage, but he couldn’t help but dance with me for several nights aboard the Odyssey of the Seas in May 2024! The Dukes played so many of our favorites (especially “Don’t Stop Believing”, which they played especially for him!), & we now have a playlist of new favorites we danced to while the Dukes Live played, such as “Shut Up and Dance With Me” & “Moon Over Mexico”. We’re hoping to land on another cruise with them when we learn where there next contract will be! (Wishing they’d be on our Alaska cruise next May! 😉)
We were sad to say goodbye that last night. It felt like we were parting from dear friends that we’d known forever. One of Gore’s broken drumsticks sits proudly on our shelf reminding us of those happy nights spent dancing!
— Tami Greenwood
Saw you on Anthem of the Seas Sept 22. Great taste in shirts I would say and best band I’ve seen at sea on over 40 cruises.

Fan experience of the dukes..
Where do I start? Me and wife were on our honeymoon and called into the music hall for a drink or two! Just the two of us sat in the corner another couple joined onto us, for the rest of the trip we were inseparable and spent every night together in the music hall listening to the dukes and requesting mr brightside, fast forward 5 months since our honeymoon, we have stayed in touch with the friends we made by having them over to Northen Ireland and we are now going to Norwich to visit them whislt wearing our dukes Tshirts.
The dukes bringing people together!

We partied for a week with you guys in Alaska on the Ovation of the Seas in October 2023. My son Landon fell in love with you all and your music. You made our trip so memorable, the personalised shout outs, The Dukes guitar pics, signed merch and chats in between sets were unforgettable. You guys rock!

We saw you twice in 2022 on The Anthem finishing in New York and then chatted for hours at JFK. Hope to catch you soon again 😊😊

This group is fantastic. One of the best on any ship. Natasha has an incredible voice. Unfortunately we are about to disembark Anthem, but looking forward to seeing them in the future.

The Dukes Live!
I've been lucky enough to see these guys multiple times now — Many times on Anthem of the Seas and just caught them back-to-back on Independence of the Seas... and WOW. Every single show is next-level!
They’re full of energy, electric on stage, and they know how to get the crowd going.
From start to finish, they bring the party and never miss a beat.
If you're cruising and see The Dukes Live on the cruise compass, do not miss them. One of the best live party acts at sea. Can't wait to catch them again!
RockOn
— Russell Gould
We rocked. You guys rock. Can’t wait to see you again!

The Dukes Live As promised last week, a photo & some words for your website. Still singing 'Chicken Fried'!
After watching The Dukes perform on both Odyssey and Independence of the Seas, I can honestly say that if you want a great night on your cruise holiday then go to their set. I guarantee that you will go back again and again!
They are extremely talented, with great vocals and musical abilities. The Dukes play a wide range of songs from different genres, so you're bound to find plenty to enjoy. The energy in their sets will get you dancing.
Not only are they great musicians, but they're really nice, approachable people, too. Go up for a chat!
I really hope to see them on another cruise very soon.

Your ‘Cruise Dad’ here. Thanks for the amazing music. Listened to both our favourite songs of yours - ‘Sangria’ (or Margarita if you prefer, lol) and ‘Tequila Talkin’. I have to say, your versions are even better than the originals! Hope we see you again

A photo from last week's Rock-a-Rokie. It was a great night (and a great week) as always. You were so kind giving everyone who had signed up a chance to sing, and for the photo when you were so busy. I look forward to seeing you again soon!
— Catrina D
Absolutely fantastic band!
Incredible musicianship, jaw-dropping guitar solos, and a stage presence that kept us hooked from start to finish. We were completely blown away by their talent. Such amazing entertainment on our Royal Caribbean cruise — they truly made the experience unforgettable!
— Donna Kearney
We had the pleasure of being entertained by the Dukes Live on Independence of the Seas in June 2025. Saw them every night except their well earned night off and even joined them for some Rock-a-oke! They are great musicians who play from a massive song list covering all genres, and build a great rapport with the audience. 5stars!
