Dancing emphasis?

I'm an intermediate dancer but a cruising novice. Are there any lines or ships that, because of their facilities or activities, are favored by those who dance?

Cunard has some serious dancers.

Cunard and Crystal Cruises.

Cunard has some serious dancers.

As do some Princess cruises.

However it may help to know what type of dancing you mean.

Costa, by far the only cruise line which offers a reliable experience, totally different from what you will find on an American ship. Cunard I can't recommend based on my personal experience, but I'm told the music is vastly improved recently. Crystal also has good floors, but my experience was poor music and worse management attitude. Princess was even worse.

Are you looking for dance groups or are you willing to take your chances solo?

PS. Should have mentioned, provided they get the music sorted out, the Queen Victoria/Queen Elizabeth twins would be my favourite ships, although followed closely by Costa Luminosa/Deliziosa.

I'm sure it dependent on the dancing that you do. I do Modern Jive (which is good because you can dance it to most music)

Ceroc do a MSC cruise every year in September. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eiNvN_qSak

Thanks for the replies. I enjoy East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Nightclub 2 Step, Rumba, and others. I am an average dancer but I can appreciate a good dancefloor.

I had to look up Modern Jive and Ceroc as mentioned in some replies. They seem fun. Thanks for the introduction.

Dancer Bob...I'm aware of some small local dance groups that sometimes organize cruises but if I'm missing out on some larger groups I'd be happy to learn about them.

Again, thanks for the replies. They are helpful.

Stardust Dance which is based in New York and normally does weekends in the Catskills, is doing two cruises this winter (on Costa). They've had some CA groups in the past but they may be sold out by now. If you belong to USA Dance, check out American Dancer for some other ads.

There are several specialists, who can get a bit pricey, but offer more personal service sometimes also female dance hosts/teachers. Not sure which ones I can name on CC.

We failed miserably to find any Modern Jive venues when we were in florida a couple of years back.
