CELEBRATING 6 YEARS, 572  SHOWS HEADLINING FOR CARNIVAL CRUISE LINES! (But who's counting?)

I would like to thank you for visiting my site today, I’ve been pretty busy flying to Alaska, Mexico and Hawaii the past 6 years. Some of you may know that I’ve been headlining for Carnival Cruise Lines on their beautiful ships the Spirit, Pride, Splendor & Elation.

Please read the following evaluation of my show submitted to Carnival headquarters by the Spirit’s Cruise Director Shawn Bussey.

Spirit Cruise Director: Shawn Bussey Show Evaluation:

Exceeded Guest Expectations "There is not a rating high enough for Ned's performances!!!! He gets TONS of great comment cards out here from the guests!!!!! He is always loved ... complete with standing ovations during the singing with the Big Band Show! THEY LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE him out here! I hope we can please keep him forever and a day. He also brings new music at times to change up his show and display his diverse range! He's incredible! Sincerely our favorite entertainer out here!"

Thanks to the many who have been kind enough to mention me on the "comment" cards at the end of their cruise. It's the only way that the powers that be in Miami know I'm putting on a solid show! I also wanted to let you know that I’ve been working on a show with my good friend the wonderful Nancy Osborne. Simply called the “Swingin' Vegas is Back” we’re combining forces to present a celebration of the greatest swinging music of all time! I’ll keep you posted as to where and when!
