Silent disco

can't wait

I don't understand the point of a "silent" disco.  Enjoying the music with everyone around you in the reason I go dancing.  But I am definitely in the very small minority here.  A lot of folks have a lot of fun with this so I just go elsewhere during this event.  That's what I love about cruising!  There's something for everyone.

Is anyone familiar with the types of music offered? I'm no fan of disco and was wondering if any of the channels offered is some good old fashioned rock. 

[stellarose]

was hoping for some disco too.  it would be a long shot for Def Leppard. lol

I always look like I am dancing to mystery music even in normal settings, so I could probably just try this without headphones...

on the eclipse in August we had 3 channels to choose from, one was mostly current stuff, one was more good old fashioned rock with a bunch of 80s stuff, and the third was a latin mix

Beat me to it.  Yes, this was the same on our last voyage.

 

The appeal of the silent disco is that there's 3 different genres available to listen to, so more people are inclined to join in on the dance floor.  It's really surreal taking off the headphones and see this crowd of people dancing and singing without any music playing over the speakers.

My wife laughs at me because I insist you can dance to the Grateful Dead. I guess that would be too much to ask for.

Have you tried it?  I thought it was ridiculous.  Then I tried it once and I am hooked!  Try it once if you haven't and then give it up if you don't like it.

I don’t want to be seen with other weirdos.

not sure about "old fashioned rock" but one night on my recent Constellation cruise I walked thru the atrium during silent disco and about half the crowd was shouting "Sweet Car-o-line, ba BA ba ba...."  So there's that.

I have some videos of hubby and I and our dear friends dancing and singing along during silent disco. They are hilarious and never to be shared! Such good memories though!

Hmm.  I suppose they mix up the music every so often?   I really don’t like classical.

We've never participated in the silent disco, but have stopped by. Everyone seems to be in to it on the dance floor.  I play the drums and like to see the air drummers and air guitarist's jamming to their tunes.

I've tried the silent disco on multiple cruise lines.  The first time it was fun and new....after that it was just kind of boring.  You normally have 3 different channels to choose.  If you haven't done it before, go for it - you will have a blast!  For me, once was enough.

What is an air drummer?

Doesn’t help.  Still fat.

 

Anyone remember the Gong show?

Love the silent disco. Just be there early and you’ll get your headphones. They do have 3 channels and I’m sure you’ll find something to dance to.

I'd give anything to see people dancing to Beethoven's Ninth. Air guitars to Ode to Joy!

Seriously? He’s in the band with the air guitar player.  Air Supply.

I stay in my cabin and look at cat pictures all day.

Ever hear of a waltz?  I prefer Baroque or “Early” music myself.
