It was a pleasant surprise to see your performance onboard the MS Nieuw Amsterdam during its inaugural sailing. Having seen your performance on the Eurodam 1-1/2 years ago, I was hoping that you would be one of the guest performers. I believe that everyone who had seen your performances from other sailings was very pleased to see your performance, albeit the only appearance during this sailing. It was another outstanding performance!

We were on the ms Massdam for the Canada-New England trip June 12, 2010. We thoroughly enjoyed your performances on board. We look forward to cruising with you again! Thank you for adding to our fond memories of this trip!!!

Elliot and I just returned from cruising with you on the Maasdam (Montreal to Boston). We thoroughly enjoyed your performances and stories while on the ship. Hope that you'll be on our next cruise (Alaska, August 19, 2011).

LOVE YOU! You are a GREAT preformer.I was Just recently on the Holland America Line (ms Maasdam). I went to EVERY show and I think you were probably the best! I love your stories and your preformances! You Rock!

Justin,
We just got back from our cruise on the Holland America Maasdam. We thought you were outstanding. Let us know if you are ever in Las Vegas.

February 11, 2010

I was fortunate to see your performance onboard the Eurodam in Feb/09. I would like to know if you will be a guest performer on any of HAL's European sailings anytime from May-Nov/10. I think you're an outstading guitarist.

Ian Priestley (Bedford England)

February 11, 2010

Saw your show at New Year on the Noordam. Love the twists and turns to your stories as much as your music. Your latest story about B17s and beetles is intriguing. Keep them coming!

FRANK AND ELAINE BARCELONA

January 21, 2010

We enjoyed your performances as well as our conversations. Thanks again!

Saw Dr. Miller on the Noordam...FANTASTIC! Could've listened for hours!

Willa Jo Mauger

Amazing talk and performance on the MS Noordam, January 3, 2010. We were spellbound! Bravo!!

Jeff Corkran

I saw your performance on the ms Maasdam yesterday and enjoyed it immensely. As a wannabe guitarist from Kentucky, I have seen numerous very good finger-style players. You rank right up there with the best of them. Thanks for a wonderful evening's entertainment.

Richard Bressler

December 27, 2009

Enjoyed Dr. Miller's performances and talks on the Veendam, South American cruise. Probably the best show I've seen on 10 cruises.

Gary Peterson & Carol Gittins

December 8, 2009

We were with you on the Eurodam in February.
In my view, the best entertainment I've ever seen on a cruise.

Mark H Reed

November 25, 2009

Justin's two performances during our recent HAL cruise aboard the ms Rotterdam were genuine highlights of the entire 18-day cruise. His virtuosity is without question, his storytelling both intriguing and informative for even the casual music fan. Do yourself a favor and either purchase one of his superb CDs or sign onto an HAL cruise and wait for the musicianship to nearly knock you overboard.

Mike Macewich

My sister-in-law and brother-in-law just got back from a Med cruise with a copy of your CD. Fabulous. I'm off to iTunes to download

Allen and Debbie Zabner

October 18, 2009

Got home last night from the Med. cruise. Listening to your music right now as I went to your web site. Saw all of your performances onboard the Noordam and we truly loved the nusic and the stories. Can't wait to see you again live in concert somewhere in the world. Thanks for being the BEST show on the trip !!

Sylvia Hassan

October 17, 2009

Terrific Show! Loved all the stories!

Dennis Lauer and Dr. Mary Ann Tesalona Lauer

October 17, 2009

Just returned from cruise to the Med. We saw your shows but can never see enough of your genius. Your talent, your personality and class act just mesmerized us. We have been on some wonderful cruises and have travelled much, seen many wonderful performers, but you are in a class of your own. We go to Las Vegas a few times a year and see some great entertainment but you neeed to be in big room at the Venetian, Paris, Bellagio etc.... Thank you for making our trip a travelling and musical journey.

Gail Basile-Wiffler and Ken Wiffler

July 8, 2009

We have seen Justin Miller on two cruises. I am not usually wild about the entertainment... Every performance he did, we attended. This is one very talented man. He enchanted us with his stories. I hung on every word. The second cruise we saw him come off of the elevator and could not believe our luck at being again on the same ship. If you have not heard him, nor purchased CD's to savor at home, you are missing a big piece of pleasure for your senses.

Dennis and Molly Jones

June 27, 2009

We got to see and listen to Justin's wonderful music on the Eurodam while cruising the Baltic Sea. Absolutly a wonderful performer and entertainer. Enjoyed his music and stories.

Doris Kolackovsky

May 19, 2009

It has been over a year since we went on our Panama Canal Cruise where we saw you, but I still go to your website. You are the most magnificent musician I have heard in years and I used to be a music major. I could listen to you for hours on end.

Roberta and Winfred Cagle

March 29, 2009

We both enjoyed your performances on the Eurodam. I was in awe of the passion of your playing and storytelling....can't wait to read the stories that are online. Thank you.

I love classical music, especially yours now. Your show was very good and very knowledgeable about all of the music I grew up with plus the music that is on your "Rio Tigre" CD I purchased the night of your concert on the Eurodam. Everyone who has heard it lately has loved it too. Thank you for a very wonderful evening of your most beautiful guitar music!

Justin, We had the pleasure of watching your performance on the Eurodam March 7th cruise. We were amazed with the show, the mixture of songs along with the history of them was truly superb! The 45 minute show on Thursday was great. The 3 CDs are truly amazing.
Thanks for making the cruise exceptionally enjoyable.

Cheers

March 14, 2009

Wow, is all we can say. Your instrumental talents are absolutely fantastic. Your stories were so fascinating and enjoyable. We could have listened to you play your instruments and talk for days! You certainly made our cruise on the Eurodam (2/28/09 - 3/7/09) an absolutely wonderful time. Sure hope we get the opportunity to see you perform again very soon! Thanks for making our second honeymoon so very extra special.

Jennie & Jeff Rauch

March 14, 2009

Wow! What a zest for life! We saw a flamenco guitarist in San Juan after seeing/hearing you - and planned to compare! Well, he has quite the energy, but your energy & presentations are much more refined, less schmaltzy. Very entertaining - all 3 times we made sure to see your performance. Psych's loss, our gain! Wishing you many more years of Eurodam performing and happiness in the real world too!

Sue Russell

March 9, 2009

Just got off the 2/28 Eurodam cruise and you were the highlight of the week. Loved your stories as well as your music!

February 14, 2009

I had heard from a guest on a previous Eurodam cruise that we should not miss this show on our cruise beginnig 2/7/09. Boy were they right! You are a fascinating performer for so many reasons such as your talent and knowledge. it was so evident that you love what you do, performing for and amazing so many people.

Katy Allen

February 10, 2009

My friend and I were absolutely amazed by your talent and knowledge about the music on the ms Eurodam! You were one of the best performers that I have seen on a cruise and even in general. We would just like to thank you very much for the entertainment and we hope to see you on a cruise again!

Cindy Weinstein

January 18, 2009

While on the Eurodam (Jan. 3rd thru the 10th), we were enthralled listening to your wonderful musical performances and fascinating stories. Best and most unusual entertainment we've ever enjoyed on our many past cruises.

Cantor George Henschel

January 14, 2009

Justin: It was a pleasure meeting you and hearing your wonderful playing and stories on the New Year's cruise on the Eurodam--you were truly a highlight of our week! Your three CDs are now in regular rotation on my iPod. The Eurodam is lucky to have you--Shalom--George H.

Patricia Loeper

December 11, 2008

Dear Justin,
Saw your show on the Eurodam last week and must tell you how much I enjoyed it. I've never been a fan of guitar or mandolin shows but you've changed my tune...so to speak. We also enjoyed all the stories you told. Great entertainment on both counts.

Spent the week with you Nov 29 Dec 6. What a wonderful experience. I went with my parents (75-85) and our daughter who just graduated (18)Everyone in the party enjoyed your shows so very much.

I'm another happy and satisfied Eurodam audience member. I attended all your shows on the Thanksgiving week cruise and enjoyed each one. I particularly appreciated your filling in when the stage props jammed and cancelled the scheduled cast shows. Keep up the good work!

Phyllis & Doug Foulkes

November 26, 2008

We had the great pleasure of enjoying your two performances & the coffee chat on the Nov 8 - 15th Eurodam cruise. Your musical ability is awesome & we loved your choices of music & instruments. The coffee chat wasn't long enough for us - your stories were enthralling!

Rick and Carol Black

November 24, 2008

An absolutely amazing performer on a beautiful ship, the Eurodam, week of Nov 8 - 15th. Loved the stories too. Enjoyed meeting you and your wife and discussing property and traffic in the Phoenix area. CDs will make great holiday gifts for our family.

Jack and Beth Ables

November 23, 2008

It was a great pleasure to hear your music on the Eurodam the week of November 15-22. Your passion for your art was a great pleasure to enjoy. I could tell you "felt" the music not just played a guitar. As a musician myself that is very important to me. It really made my trip speaking with you in the 4th floor hall. Thank you for making what was a great trip even beter.

toni trezise

November 23, 2008

Saw all of you performances on the Eurodam during the week of Nov.15-22. Your masterful playing and arrangements accompanied by the historical backgrounds that you narrate make for a unique and educational presentation. Thank you so very much. My husband and I look forward to hearing you again.

Josh Bowman

November 22, 2008

Thanks for all the wonderful shows and stories! The CD's are great and I listened to them all the way back to NC. I don't think my Ibanez will sound the same playing Chet Adkins but I might try anyway.

Mike

November 22, 2008

I just got home from a HAL Eurodam cruise and the first thing I did was to look up this wonderful musician! I could not get enough of The Man, his music and stories! If you are traveling on the Eurodam - make his shows, each and everyone!!!!!!

Don & Elizabeth jevons

November 20, 2008

Just returned from the November 8-15th Eurodam cruise. Your performances were spectacular and your background stories were entertaining. Of greater interest and fun, was your coffee talk of 45 minutes answering a single question from Shane!!! Well done and look forward to seeing you again.

Richard Reidy and Kathleen Madigan

November 16, 2008

Saw all three of your performances on the Nov 1-8 Eurodam cruise. All were entertaining and enlightening. Marvelous!

Cynthia Radcliff

November 16, 2008

Best of luck on your future tours.

My wife & I first saw you on the Noordam in January '07. It was our great pleasure to find you were on the Eurodam during our Oct 1 2008 Eurodam cruise. As always we enjoyed your music. See if you can't be on the Oosterdam's August 23, 2009 Mediterranean cruise for us!

Beth Jenkins

Robert LeBlanc

October 23, 2008

Awesome shows! a little history with the music. A very interesting combination. You need to come on down to Houma LA! We have an annual "Voice of The Wetlands" you would fit well with.

Allan London

ms Eurodam New York to Quebec City - fantastic music and stories. Too bad you didn't play "Apache" on the cruise - a favorite of mine since original US production.

September 23, 2008

We just returned home from the 9/11/08 sailing on the Eurodam. Your shows were the best part of the cruise. The passion of music you relay to your audience is truly outstanding. We could have listened for hours. Hope to see you again one day soon.

ShaRon & Joe Wetherby

September 22, 2008

We attended three of your four performances on the Eurodam cruise from Quebec to NY also. Seeing/listening to you was like capturing rays of sunshine and gladness. Many thanks for making our cruise a great journey.

Jim and Darlene Wild

September 22, 2008

We had the honor of being part of the audience on the Eurodam's Sept. 21st sailing. This was our 10th cruise on HAL. Justin, you introduced each note with precise detail. Indeed, only a genius would be capeable of this.
The stories captured the audience along with the variety of stringed instuments being played. The best entertainment ever experienced on any cruise.
We are now enjoying the music at home.

Sig and Marilyn Nussbaum

September 21, 2008

We just returned to our home following a 10 day cruise on the Eurodam's Quebec to New York cruise ending Sept.21. Your concerts and musical education programs are surpassed by no other guitarist. Hopefully, we will hear you again on another cruise.
By the way it was my husband who asked you about playing Klezmer music.

Bob Clyburn

August 19, 2008

Greatly enjoyed your Eurodam concerts the end of July and beginning of August. Only problem - they were too short!

Brian Coker

August 3, 2008

My wife and I recently travel on the Eurodam's Norway cruise. It was our great pleasure to attend your show as we have previously enjoyed your music on a past Baltic Cruise. The highlight for us was the impromtu hour of anecdotal material you gave on the composers from the past. Thank you for the enjoyment you gave us.

Rick & Vivian Kramer

July 23, 2008

Rick & I enjoyed both of your shows on the Eurodam maiden voyage. If you perform in the Washington, DC area in the future, we would love to be notified. We have friends who would really enjoy your talent and your fabulous stories and history. We are enjoying the CDs. Thanks for a great performance! Vivian Kramer

Jerry and Luann Felts

July 19, 2008

Justin, we saw both performances on the maiden voyage of Eurodam. Simply awesome! Your performance as an artist and entertainer were just simply wonderful. Your enthusiasm for song, writers, and the stories from every genre are sooo very entertaining! You were the rare jewel discovered on this cruise. Thank You, Thank You!

Howard Glueck

June 21, 2008

Justin, I saw your musical and "story" shows on the Westerdam in April and really enjoyed every minute. Music is outstanding but the stories are even better! I cannot play or sing a note but have always been interested in some of the history behind the music and you really provided some interesting and entertaining stories. I got all of your CD's and have told others about them - so if you sell out, it is my fault! Please, Please do another CD with just stories --- and maybe a couple of songs or so with the new 'guitar'.

J. Ford Murray

June 21, 2008

Justin, I had the opportunity to be in your audience on two levels; performer and story-teller on the March WWII in the Pacific Tour. I so enjoyed your music and stories. I spent a long career in book publishing and my experience and well-developed instincts tell me you would seem a natural for a work on the history of American music in context. You were one of the features that made that voyage seem far too short!

My husband and I just returned from the Panama Canal cruise aboard the Westerdam. We saw all of your presentations and bought the 3 CD's. You are absolutely amazing. I could listen to you for hours on end. Such talent. I searched through my old 33 1/3' and found the Getz/Gilberto album with Joao Gilberto and Astrid Gilberto. Do I have a collector's item? Surely hope I have the opportunity to see you perform again.
