CruiseMates' Readers Cruise Reviews Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines Serenade of the Seas
by John & Christina,
"Grade: A. The Schooner piano bar was really a hotspot. We only had an opportunity to stop here twice, but we had a great time while we were there. Matt Yee, the performer, is unlike any piano entertainer we've experienced -- he takes it to the next level in getting everyone involved and having fun. He makes lots of fun of himself, dressing up as all sorts of interesting characters to keep everyone entertained!"
Mariner of the Seas

"One entertainer you can't miss while onboard is Matt Yee. He is the piano entertainer at the Schooner Bar. He is HILARIOUS! He's a great singer, but his big thing is audience participation, and he get people involved almost to the point of embarrassment. I attended his show on more than one night. He plays great sing-a-long tunes, and everyone has a great time."

"In the Schooner Bar, you musn’t miss the electric sing-a-longs with Matt Yee. Every night it was standing room only. He is quite an entertainer."
Freedom of the Seas trip report by Erica Silverstein, SmarterTravel.com Staff
"At night, check out Matt Yee's adult singalong; it's campfire singing meets drinking game."

"First off I KNEW I was on the right boat when we had a woman and her husband from one of the RCCL ships in St. Maarten ask us if Matt Yee was on our boat - they were SO jealous - they knew what fun we were having. I have been re-living the trip in my head and through pictures... and with the help of a CD we bought from Matt... I feel as if I'm at the Rendezvous Lounge each night since we got back!!!!! "

Metro Weekly (Washington D.C.)
How do you know you're on a gay cruise?... But if you still didn't clue in to it, how about the sight of comedian Matt ''Haw'' Yee in a muu-muu on top of that same waterslide at nearly every pool party, smiling and twirling with arms extended acting as the ship's Queen Mother addressing her subjects.
"YEE CAN DO IT! Few artists can combine the flash of Liberace with the warmth of a Hawaiian Luau, but then again few artists are MATT YEE. This is a unique singer and recording artist!" --Chicago Tribune, Tempo pick of the week
Matt has been seen on Baywatch Hawaii, Honolulu Cru, Intersections (travel channel), X4 Project (starry Adam Sandler), The Cube on Evening Magazine (S.F.), Outlook Video, Out in Paradise and on many TV news programs.
