By now you know that if we\u2019re traveling we like to share entertainment choices in the various cities or ships we\u2019re on. We began this trip in Great Britain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We’ve been on numerous cruises in winter to the Caribbean, but never a real cold weather winter cruise! This is a sailing on MSC Euribia<\/em> from Southampton, England with stops in Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and France. Should be interesting! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We began our tour of the ship at Sky Lounge<\/em>, located on Deck 18 midship.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The name comes from the views of the ship’s pool deck which was not seeing much action last night given temperatures in the mid-30F\u00b0 range!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Didn’t realize this was a piano bar with a small dance floor so it’s not likely we’ll be spending much time up here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Of course there is a bar too which was already seeing some activity at this early hour.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Things were a bit busier at Euribia Lounge<\/em> located on Deck 6 in the ship’s galleria.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music here was provided by Shine Band (SRB).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Many of the passengers looked to be in their 60’s & 70’s which coincided with the music from the 60’s like “It’s Now or Never” (1960) and 70’s like “Have You Ever Seen The Rain” (1971).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The Euribia <\/em>bar stayed super-busy given its location along the ship’s main passageway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
That passageway is called the Euribia Galleria<\/em> which is lined with shops, bars, restaurants and an amazing lighted ceiling that is constantly changing images. Royal Caribbean <\/em>often gets credit for creating these corridors on their original Voyager-class<\/em> ships but they actually got the idea from Silja Line<\/a><\/em>, a Finnish cruise ferry company that sails between Finland and Sweden. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And last night was home to the MSC<\/em>‘s “White Party”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A tradition on MSC <\/em>and many other cruise lines, this is the first time we’ve attended one indoors since they’re normally held out on the pool deck. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The theme of the White Party on MSC <\/em>is the DJ visits a number of countries around the world and then plays a song representative of that country. Last night they began in the USA with “The Twist” (1958) followed by songs from Italy, South Africa and France. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The DJ booth is located on this bridge that passes over the galleria.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music was delivered by DJ Jay Kosch (F).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor got jammed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The idea at a White Party is to wear white although silver is increasingly acceptable as well.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Invariably at these white parties, someone never got the memo!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
“Macarena” (Original 1993, Megahit 1996) represented Spain led by the ship’s animation team.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Black shoes were acceptable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Back to the USA for “Fireball” (2014).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Towards the end the DJ switched it over to mostly EDM and EDM remixes of popular hit songs. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Interestingly, while this white party followed MSC<\/em>‘s “songs around the world” format, our last cruise on MSC Seaside<\/em> this past September followed a completely Open Format as described here<\/a>. Jay Kosch tells OEN <\/em>that cruises departing from Florida typically play more Hip Hop and Latin because that’s what the crowd wants.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
“Baby One More Time” (1998) remixed to EDM. Nice!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Confetti explosion!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Just the first night of the cruise with many more to come! A good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25478,"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-25466","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\/12\/DSCN0268-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7OlZE-6CK","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25466","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=25466"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25466\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25501,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25466\/revisions\/25501"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/25478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
