I first saw Perry perform on the Celebrity Constellation in 2008 and have been a fan ever since. I've cruised dozens of times on various ships Perry has performed on, and witnessed how much joy and laughter he creates in any theater or lounge. Some of the most high end cruise companies such as Crystal Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Princess Cruises, and Holland America book Perry a year in advance to ensure he's onboard to entertain their discerning guests. When he performs in cruise ship theaters, it's not uncommon for the theater to be filled to capacity and hundreds of people standing in the back and aisles. Many cruise guests would attend both of Perry's stage shows in one night. He also performs a fabulous cabaret show complete with famous impressions and comedy. Perry knows how to interact with guests of all cultures and can adapt to any audience or venue. He knows how to get the audience involved and keep them laughing for hours. During certain songs, Perry will pass around maracas, shakers, and tambourines, furthering audience participation. It's not uncommon to see a conga line form through the lounge or people dancing with joy. His piano skills are phenomenal. He's a modern day Liberace with a Frank Sinatra voice. I highly recommend Perry for corporate functions, country club performances, cocktail parties, fundraisers, holiday parties, and weddings. All it takes is seeing his show once and you'll be "Perrified" and want the fun to never end!

We first heard Perry in 2006 on our very first cruise. Lucky us! He is amazing! Since then, we have booked many more cruises just to have the pleasure of enjoying his entertainment.
He is an accomplished pianist and singer, but a great entertainer as well. His choice of music in his sets and comic timing wins over everyone, leaving all wishing for more. Such a warm and genuine personality with a quick wit interacting with the room.
Just thinking of him now brings a smile.... :) You will not be able to resist!

I first discovered Mr. Grant in 2007. Since then, I wouldn't cruise on a ship if Perry wasn't appearing on it; and I've taken many cruises. He's a terrific entertainer!

Mr Perry Grant has performed in our home in London.
His huge repertoire, immense energy, his incredible talent and his unique personality captivated everyone present.
He has promised to make my wife's wish come true to play at her 70 th birthday party at the Ritz Hotel London.

Perry Grant's warmth, wit, and sublime talent endear him to anyone who is lucky enough to see him perform. He has a beautiful voice and wonderful command of the piano. A trademark of his is his humorous interaction with the audience. We first saw Perry on the Celebrity Constellation cruise ship where he performed to standing-room only audiences. He is a versatile performer winning over audiences in intimate cabaret settings as well as on stage. We have seen him make fans of all ages, from grade-school age, to newlyweds, to retirees. Perry is a supreme talent who will give you many happy memories.

An incredible entertainer, who entertains everyone in the room. His ability to remember so many people from past cruises is amazing. His performances are so professional . Where ever Perry Grant's performs you come away feeling thoroughly entertained. Plus, once you have seen him once, you will keep going back night after night because he is just amazing. Bottom line - he is one of the best entertainers I have seen in ages.

We were on a cruise in January, 2010, and decided to check out the entertainment. We happened upon Mr. Perry Grant and from that point on we were hooked. When we are on a cruise and Perry is entertaining, we do not bother to see any other shows. He is a phenomenal pianist and the ultimate entertainer. He plays and sings songs from every genre and people of every age enjoy his act. He is also very dedicated and a caring individual.

The first night of our trans-Atlantic cruise, our table mate informed us that we MUST attend the evening's performance by Mr. Perry Grant. I had never heard of him. It only took one night! I was hooked. I've never had so much fun in all my life! He is the most amazing entertainer ever. Over the years, I have had the privilege to hear many of our famous entertainers from las Vegas to New York to London. Never have I found an entertainer so completely dedicated to his audience. Mr. Grant engages his audience, quickly knows them by name, knows their favorite songs, and is most welcoming. I have never seen "a piano man" who knows so many songs by heart! His repertoire must be in the thousands! And he not only has an outstanding singing voice and range, but he has a quick wit and wonderful sense of humor. I find myself tearing up at a beautiful ballad one minute, and holding my sides with laughter the next. Mr. Grant is a master musician, able to play any genre from classical to jazz to modern from memory. He dances, he sings, he plays, he laughs, he engages, he is The Entertainer. How do I know? I've only booked cruises when he's on board since that April, 2014. At least ten!

I worked as Bartender in the Entre-Nous Lounge on the Royal Princess and had the pleasure of listening to Perry Grant Tinkling the Ivories everynight. Once word got round it was standing room only for the pre-dinner cocktail hours. Not only is Perry super talented as a pianist + singer , he is an old school entertainer for the new listener. Lucky me to have him to listen to every night , making each song like an old friend.
That's what describes this multi talented entertainer.
Seven years ago friends were on the Constellation cruise ship, a month before me, and said I had to see Perry. At that time, travelling alone, I tended to go to bed reasonably early. However, after watching Perry that first night, and thereafter, I was hooked and didn't go to bed/sleep until the early morning. I was so high from laughing, singing along and being truly entertained by his wit, singing and piano skills.
By sheer luck I was on the Eclipse ship last year and couldn't believe that Perry was there. I was so excited and saw his show every night. This year knowing he would be on Princess Royal, it was a no brainier and I sat watching his three shows each night fighting off the tiredness just to be so entertained by this brilliant man. It all comes so naturally to him.
From now on my cruises revolve around him, like so many.

We have enjoyed Perry's all-around entertainment for more than 10 years...and he is just as fresh and entertaining now as he was the first time. Perry's range of music plus his ability is amazing! There is nothing the man can't perform...and he's willing to try most anything you request! What a treasure!!!

Perry is one of the best entertainers I have EVER seen. He is so talented and entertaining you never want to leave. He has talent that you have never seen before. I found him on Royal Princess in January 2015. I attended his shows every night. He is an amazing person inside and out. His talent will make you laugh to the point your cheeks hurt and make you cry from his amazing talent. He has truly touched my heart!! My cruise/vacation is now based on his schedule. I will never cruise again without him onboard!!! I look so forward to seeing him soon!! I listen to him everyday and his music helps me deal with my medical issues and everyday frustrations. He puts a smile right back on my face!! Thank you so much Perry!!!!! My husband Mike was also so touched by Perry. We were both emotional when we had to depart. He is a "Must See"!!

Perry Grant is the reason we go on cruises. His personality is so unique, it makes you want to keep coming back for more. He makes every one feel happy when he is in the room. He not only sings everyone's favorite songs, but some that he has written. His talent, wit, and wonderful personality are the best. When celebrating a birthday or anniversary, he goes all out to make the even special. We will only book cruises where Perry Grant is onboard. He is the greatest.

We have been following Perry Greant for several years. We celebrated my birthday on the Royal Princess recently. He made the entire cruise so special for us. He makes any celebration an event. He is a very caring man and we only book cruises when he is onboard. His singing is lovely and his quick wit is just amazing. He has it all.

We saw Perry on a cruise ship. The whole ship was talking about him & we just had to see what all the fuss was about. We were hooked at his first performance. He is mesmerising. Musically talented & his humour & quick wit is astounding! He is the consummate proffessional & we would not hesitate to recommend him for a function. I only wish we could get him over this side of the Big Pond! Enjoy him because he is a gift!

The most important reason for us to cruise is the presence of the talented and outstanding Perry Grant. This extraordinary and unique enterteiner , gives always a touch of distinction to our cruise,there is no finer performer on any cruise. He is a gifted pianist , a very creative artist who brings happiness thru his lovely songs and funny conversations with the audience. Hundreds of people from all around the world , follow him from cruise to cruise ,to see him perform ,as we do. His shows are delightful having always standing ovations. Perry Grant is a performer for all ages ,and the proof of this is my son of 16 years old ,who admires him since he was a little boy.

Have been fortunate to see Perry Grant on several occasions and he is an 'all round' entertainer..... He has an enchanting voice, and his quick wit is second to none. True entertainment at its very best. If I didn't live in the UK..... I WOULD COME TO SEE EVERY SHOW.

Perry Grant is the most talented singer, pianist, comedian and host. He's funny, charming and entertaining. His repertoire of songs runs the gamut from the songbooks to the patriotic to the songs of WWI and WWII to the MGM musicals to the current day. His love of Judy Garland is well known. His stories are engaging. Singing along to the oldies with Perry is fun. His fans all know how to assume "the position". He's skilled in languages. Watching him handle a newcomer to his show is hilarious! On a cruise, Perry's show is standing room only, night after night. Seeing Perry Grant one time, will have you returning every night because you don't want to miss the fun. Perry is amazing. He's reminiscent of the variety shows we grew-up watching.

Traveled with Perry for years and he is always in top form. He is an entertainer for everyone. Excellent pianist, vocalist, humorist and all around lovable person.
He should definitely be on everyone's bucket list! Be sure to ask him to perform songs he has written himself. Such talent.

My husband and I have followed Perry Grant for many years.
We have traveled thousands of miles to cruise on whichever ship he is on.
Wherever he is the room is always packed out to its full capacity .
He is able to draw such a large crowd because once you have seen him you always want to , return.
He is extremely funny, a great singer and his act is unique.A true professional,
We started cruising in 2008 and have done about 20 since then. Shortly after our first cruise we saw a Perry Grant performance and became immediate fans and followers. From that point on we booked our cruises based on Perry's schedule. To say he's the best we've encountered is an understatement. Do yourself a favor and experience Perry for yourself when you get the opportunity. You won't be disappointed.

We have followed him for years on cruise ships. Just spent 50 days on the Royal Princess with 3 different cruises. We first saw him on the Celebrity Constellation and became Perrified instantly.He is the best Entertainter anywhere. We will follow him where ever he goes. He is fabulous !!!!!!
Singing Pianist
A showman through and through. He is so much more than a piano man,he puts on a show the likes of which we never saw before. Perry has a world wide following, because he loves his audience, he loves his music and it shows. If you want a fun event, where everyone, particpates, where everyone goes home happy, he is the one man show for you.

We heard Perry, before we saw him as we were walking through the Royal Princess Cruise ship. The music was enough to make us turn around and go see who was performing. We were able to find chairs way back, as the venue was packed. We ended up staying the whole show and had the most wonderful time. Since we had a few more days aboard, we went to see Perry each night. We have not been entertained like that in so long! Perry is a true original with a unique show, full of wonderful music, singing and lots and lots of laughs....He is truly phenomenal!
His humor is one of a kind and had me laughing until tears ran down my cheeks. The catalog of songs he is quite able to perform is astonishing and he is so talented! His renditions of the of standards and some newer songs are all beautifully sung and so much fun to watch. He is the most "entertaining entertainer" I have had the joy of seeing in many years. We look forward to seeing him perform again as we have booked our next cruise to coincide with his appearance on ship! He is that good!

Extraordinary showmanship that appeals to fans of all ages! Our family of 8, ranging from 5 to 83 thoroughly enjoyed our evenings with Perry as he entertained on the Royal Princess in December. My 5 and 7 year olds were inspired to play the piano after, in true Perry style! Hard day at work? Relax with Perry's music! He has the remarkable talent of making the world seem a better place through his music!

He is an entertainer that draws u in. After the first hour of his show i became Perrified. He is so infectious i cannot get enought of him. He is a jack of all trades, he plays the piano, he sings, he keeps the audience laughing and fully entertained. U never tire of him.He is the best at what he does.

I have never been entertained by anyone in the same style that Perry brings to a show. Perry's style is larger than life; he is the ultimate entertainer. Feeling down? Go see a Perry show - guaranteed to lift your spirits. His amazing smile and blue eyes, his vast repertoire, his voice, the way he engages his audience. Be a part of only one Perry show and you are hooked for life. "Perrified", as they say. Over the years I have seen Perry perform in a variety of venues - piano bar, big stage, cigar lounge...he dazzles standing-room-only crowds in all his shows. I could never have enough Perry.

My wife and I first met Perry Grant on a two week Caribbean cruise several years ago. What a fabulous time we had! He is a very talented pianist with a great sense of humor. He engages his audience with great wit, and everyone has a fabulous time. We have taken many cruises with Perry since we first met him, and he is always the highlight of our cruise. We have made many many wonderful friends on our cruises since we first met Perry. I guess you would call us "Perrified" and one of Perry's gang! To sum it up, Perry is a class act! Do not miss him, if you have the opportunity. You will become a fan too!
1940s Era Entertainment
We have had the pleasure of seeing Perry on several cruises. In fact we are such fans now that we only cruise when we know Perry is appearing. He is a wonderful pianist & singer covering a wide range of well known songs. He is hysterically funny especially when he includes the audience in his performances. A truly dedicated & professional performer.
Pianist, Singing Pianist, Variety Entertainer
Ever since i discovered Perry, my thought is, no Perry, no cruise. My last four cruises were built around Perry. My January cruise of this year was a 10 day cruise and we did not miss any of his shows. Besides being a fantastic singer and piano player, Perry has a sparkling personality and always gets the entire audience into the show. Of all the shows we have seen of Perry's he very seldom repeats a song. Lon Chaney was the man of 1000 faces, Perry is the man of 10000 songs. We will spend 20 days in January with Perry and we cant wait.

My husband and I have had the pleasure of being entertained by Perry on several cruises now. He is the consummate professional, from the way he dresses to his accomplished singing & piano playing, and can adapt to perform in small intimate venues or large theatres. But what makes Perry completely unique is his infectious personality and the fantastic interaction he achieves with his audiences. You will share so much fun & laughter with Perry. He is a fabulous entertainer and such a highlight that we only like to cruise on ships where Perry is entertaining. Simply the best.

We had music and laughter every evening by Perry. We could hardly wait for the nighttime show to finish so that we could really be entertained. Perry is truly a wonderful addition for any ship. We have been on a cruse where Perry was not on it and it felt like something was missing.....there was, Perry.
We sailed on Celebrity Eclipse for 11 nights and spent 9 of those evenings at Perrys nightly performances, as we only found him on the third evening. Oh my god, the room was packed solid every evening as well as people squeezing in to get standing room only. Perry has a fantastic piano , laughter and prop show, which includes the audience participation, which is hilarious. My husband and I was included most evenings as Perry choose my husband to be part of his nightly show. I hope one day to be lucky enough to see him on another cruise, or better still to book him for a special occasion party. Wiould recommend everyone to see Perry at least ince in their lives.

I have had the pleasure of sailing with Perry on numerous occasions and can safely say that he is the best entertainer I have ever met.
He is an absolutely amazing musician and vocalist; thoroughly entertaining and I could sit and watch, laugh, sing along with his performance every evening.
His reportoire is outstanding and has many people young and old singing along.
It is my dream to cross paths with this amazing person, musician, singer, entertainer once more; he has brought so much joy to many people across the world and has a large following of fans who have all been Perri-fied!!
Every performance on every cruise was standing room only and "positions" had to be taken early doors!
Perry Grant is an absolute star and I know that many people will agree that he should be on the stage where he belongs!!

I quite unknowingly stumbled into one of Perry's shows four years ago, while on a cruise. Friends had insisted on my cruising after several hardships hit our family, and they became concerned for my well being. For someone who cried all the time...everyone was amazed that I began singing along and laughing so hard that I cried...this time out of pure joy. I have been back several times since then and planning, God willing, on many more happy performances to keep me going! Perry is truly, a wonderful entertainer!

We were very fortunate to be entertained by Perry Grant on our recent cruise. We truly enjoyed his humor and his knowledge of so many songs that dated back to our childhoods, songs that we had forgotten, but loved hearing again and being able to sing along with them. We made it a point to be at his performances every evening we were on the ship.

Thankyou so much for this fantastic review !
We were on a 10 day Southern Caribbean cruise with my husband, father and son over Christmas. We've been on the Royal Princess several times, so we were familiar with a lot of the entertainment on the ship. Always good, but this is the first time I've been compelled to write a review on a particular performer.
It was the second night and my son had already met some new friends and my father had gone to bed early. My husband and I decided to grab a cocktail and check out Perry Grant. We assumed it would just be piano music as had been many times in the Crooners Bar before. From the beginning notes, to Perry's interaction with the audience we were crazy about him. He is an extremely talented musician for sure, but his humor was the icing on the cake.
The next evening, we brought my father and almost every night thereafter we tried to get a seat to hear Perry and do our "Positions!" We eventually brought our 19 year old, freshman in college, alternative rock loving son and sure enough he thought Perry was the best of the best, too.
Once word got around on the ship about Perry, you had to get to Crooners early or you wouldn't get a seat. He packed it every night and frankly, I thought he should have been in the Princess Theater. Cruise lines take note!
We've just booked another cruise and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Perry will be on board. I want to applaud Lord and Lady Glencairn, watch Perry swoon over someone's granite countertops and see who will be chosen to turn on the ball. Perry is phenomenal!
