By now you know that if I\u2019m traveling I like to share entertainment choices in the various cities or ships I\u2019m on. Wasn’t really planning for any more cruises until the end of the year but when I spotted this special 2-night sailing of Royal Caribbean<\/em>‘s massive Mariner of the Seas ,<\/em>on a weekend, from Port Canaveral, who could stay home? So here we were at yet another Sail-Away Party!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Leading the festivities, DJ Marcello (BR).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The ship’s animation team was here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Some of them, anyway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But where was the DJ? This is something that really pisses me off about Royal Caribbean<\/em>. As you’ve seen, Carnival<\/em>, MSC, NCL<\/em>, even Margaritaville at Sea<\/em> all feature their DJ’s. At the Sail-Away parties, the DJ is right out there by the pool and dance floor. For some reason on Royal Caribbean<\/em>, they are hidden somewhere. We found Marcello off to the side by the Lifeguard Station! A few years ago on one RCI <\/em>sailing we found the DJ in a broom closet under the stairs! Crazy! In this era of the DJ, they should be featuring their DJ’s!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
No surprises at this pool party since it contained the same Sail-Away songs we’ve heard so many times including the “Cupid Shuffle”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
“The Wobble”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
“Electric Slide”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And the “Cha Cha Slide”. You got to give the people what they want!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Lots of classic Top 40; it was kind of like a night at Atlantic Dance Hall<\/em> but without the Hip Hop.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The Royal Promenade <\/em>is a feature found on many Royal Caribbean<\/em> ships. Located in the center of the ship, it’s filled with shops, food venues and bars. Last night it was home to the 70’s Disco Inferno party!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We spotted the Cruise Director for the first time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And some of the 70’s-inspired staff was down on the floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And then, OMG, there they were! The Village People (USA)!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Performing “In The Navy” but then staying around for the rest of the show.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Promenade was packed for the show! Songs included “Night Fever”, “Boogie Shoes”, “Funkytown”, “The Hustle”, “Shake Your Booty”, “Knock on Wood” and many more!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Of course every 70’s Party has to have “YMCA”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A good time was had by all. Except those in Promenade-view rooms. Yeah, they’re sound proofed but there’s only so much you can do.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Boleros is a Latin-themed bar that was added to Royal Caribbean<\/em> ships about a decade ago. We dropped by for a few minutes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Red Label Band (BR) was on the stage playing mostly Top 40 music.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There was a small contingent on the dance floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The bar was busy too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Closing out the night at the club’s main dance club, Ellington’s.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Marcello was in the much more prominent booth compared to at the pool.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Just one couple on the dance floor when we arrived.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But when the DJ put on some Bad Bunny (USA), the dance floor exploded!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Ellington’s<\/em> has a shiny disco ball above the dance floor so you know the place is legit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Like everywhere on this ship, a good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18840,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1899],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-reports"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSCN7885-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7OlZE-4Tt","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18815"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18815\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18854,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18815\/revisions\/18854"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
