Music and Entertainment

One of the best ways that you can take your cruise to the next level is top-notch entertainment. What better way to celebrate being in the Live Music Capital of the World than by adding one of our regular musical acts? 

Please note, all acts routinely perform at other venues and in other cities. Availability would need to be confirmed with the artists and is not guaranteed.

A fantastic four-piece mariachi band that serves as the perfect complement to the Hyatt’s famous fajitas.
