HELP!! Considering MSC, but concerned about dance/MUSIC entertainment!

We wanted to wait for awhile before we book on this ship.

Everyone has their favs re their cruising experience.

Ours is great cover bands.

So tell me... can we expect "old time rock and roll", disco:eek:... and fun cover bands, with energy that draws you to their venue??

Or will we see European-style mixed with small duets with yawning responses?

Have they adjusted to American style of bands and dancing?

Thanks!!

Mike

Assume you are asking about Divina? And are you trying another line justto experience the same things you get on the others? All of the music is live, no lip-synch in the theater shows. Remember that half of the guests will not be from the US. EM

EM, Yes the Divina...

Thanks for the info! Not sure what to expect ...How European of a cruising experience, and what that actually means???

I heard the layout is not conducive for dancing and all Latin gets old for us...

If we go, we'll just adjust our expectations...We've done it before and we'll do it again:)

There is a decent dance floor in the Black & White lounge Deck 7 aft. there is also a dance floor in the Golden Lounge on deck 7 midship. I know they played American standards there, as we could hear it from our cabin above, and had fun trying to hear it well enough to identify it. EM

They also have theme parties on the pool deck at night.

Divina - I went during 4th of July so there was a Latin band for the cruise lots of dancing in black and white lounge and on pool deck. (All Latin music then)

The shows were really awesome all entertainers are top notch from the singers to the dancers and acrobats. Best shows I've seen cruising so far.

I was on the Divina about two years ago. Most of the parties played Latin music, including their White Party. The Silver Bar also hosted later parties. The music would also be Latin, but later on they would switch to better known dance music.

As Essiesmon also mentioned, the shows are really good. If you like opera, they do a specific matinee show, which was incredible....and I don't normally appreciate opera.

Oh, one other thing about MSC, their More for Less Premium All Inclusive Package, the higher cost one, includes all drinks with no limits. In 2014 their most expensive drink was Johnnie Walker Blue at 22.00 a shot. This package also included this drink. I ordered a couple of doubles and I definitely made my daily quota of drink costs. I figured quality was even better than quantity in this scenario.

The package also included Coffee Drinks, Ice Cream/Gelato, Pastries from their bakery and the things in your minibar.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself on the Divina in 2014, enough to sail again on her in 2017.

Hope some of this helps in your decision making process. Best of luck!

My husband and I enjoy dancing to cha cha, East Coast Swing, Basic shagging, etc......we have decided to try MSC and was told by other posters that our type of dancing is on the ship.....sure hope so! Not a fan of Latin dancing either......ut oh!!!

Plenty of music and dancing .

I have to ask the question "what kind of dance is basic shagging?? " It has nothing what so ever to do with dancing here in the UK!!! It has a whole different meaning

Also there was a cha cha, salsa , rumba and merengue class on different nights at around 8pm when we were on board earlier this year.

I'm also a Brit but have lived in North America for 20 years. Most Americans have no idea about shagging in the UK. It's not done on the dance floor - not until very, very late.

The shag is similar to a six count swing dance.

Not this side of the Atlantic, it's not :D

IMO I have been on a lot of cruises, Only one msc and the only thing I could say about MSC in their favour was the wonderful cabin. Been on lots of cruises, would I go with MSC again...No. Music, entertainment, food ...Not for me and I aint fussy.

The live music in all the bars is great! Something for everyone!

I also love the word Brits use for erasers. Nothing like the look on a little old lady's face when a 9 year old British child proclaims his excitement about lovely Mickey Mouse erasers at a drug store in Orlando!

Had to think about that one for a minute!

Best cruise line for the best in Entertainment. The shows are gorgeous, real talent. The bands are fabulous and plenty of places to find music at any time of the day. There is dance music all over. Do not forget the dj in the night club, The Galaxy!

Don't forget the Galaxy Club. You'll get a DJ and the music was a good variety of top 40, old school and a little alternative.
