Located on Deck 16, the sign on the outside says “Sea Pavilion Hot Pot<\/em>” but trust me on this, Club 33<\/em> Disco <\/em>is located inside.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We arrived and found resident DJ Joel (EAK) in the booth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Even though it was relatively early, there was already a crowd on the dance floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Can’t get enough of this place; this was our third visit to Club 33<\/em> during this cruise.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music was all EDM and House during prior visits; last night it was more European House meaning songs with vocals in other than English, at least during my stay. MSC <\/em>knows how to do it!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
First visit this cruise to The Purple<\/em> Bar<\/em>, located on Deck 7 amidship. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Very 70’s vibe in here with funky furniture, funky light panels on the walls and matching carpet too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We were here for the “Abba Tribute” (S) show, with music delivered by duo Big Little (DOM & SRB).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We heard great Abba hits like “Super Trooper”, “Money Money Money” and “Waterloo”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The ship’s Entertainment Team joined in the fun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
While songs like “Dancing Queen” and “Gimme Gimme Gimme” kept the dance floor packed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Big is from Serbia while Little is from Dominican Republic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Seems like every cruise nowadays has an Abba night because you can never have too much Abba!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Next stop was cleverly-named The Aft Lounge<\/em>, located on Deck 7, aft<\/em>. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It was home to the “Sunshine Party”. Originally scheduled to take place on the pool deck, rare evening thunderstorms in Aqaba, Jordan forced them to move the event indoors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Resident DJ Mizo (I\/ET) delivered the music which was advertised as a 60’s\/70’s\/80’s\/90’s Night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The show opened with a quick dance routine from the ship’s theater performers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And then the actual Village People (USA) did the opening song!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Can you guess the name of this Village People song, lol?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The Aft Lounge <\/em>does not have the requisite “shiny disco ball” but this light rack above the dance floor sure makes up for it!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
While I recall a 90’s song or two, a 60’s song and perhaps a couple 80’s songs, we pretty much remained in the 70’s last night which made me happy. Songs included “Boogie Wonderland”, “Freak Out”, “Stayin’ Alive” & “Celebration”. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Let me tell you…..the music on this cruise by the two resident DJ’s has been absolutely amazing. From a music standpoint, best cruise ever!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Everywhere we went last night, a good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21590,"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-21571","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\/2023\/04\/DSCN9710-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7OlZE-5BV","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21571","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=21571"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21571\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21599,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21571\/revisions\/21599"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/21590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
