quest145 Posted May 10, 2010 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2010 When we were on Silver Wind two years ago and they configured the main resturant to have a dinner dance on one of the formal nights. We are on Silver Shadow on the 26th June in alaska. Have any of these alaska cruises included a dinner dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south seas sue Posted May 10, 2010 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Quest, when we were on the Shadow last June, they did indeed have a dinner dance on one of the formal nights. This was a 10 day cruise with 2 formal nights. It was great, having the band in the dining room, playing wonderful music for dancing. We really enjoyed ourselves, dancing in between courses. I'm sure they plan for this every cruise. Great trip - you will enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfathomable Posted May 10, 2010 #3 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I'm sure they plan for this every cruise.It does happen, but not on every cruise. Space can be an issue -- tables have to be moved -- so it is more likely if the ship is not full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jpalbny Posted May 10, 2010 #4 Share Posted May 10, 2010 That sounds like a lot of fun! Hope they do it on our upcoming cruise on the Silver Wind... Though I think it's pretty full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerblu Posted May 11, 2010 #5 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I was on the Silver Wind for the Istanbul-Venice sailing, and it was my impression that it was pretty full then. On the last night of the cruise, they eliminated two or perhaps three of the tables in the center of the dining room, creating a smallish dance floor. Large enough for slot dances or Latin, and perhaps a very controlled regulation foxtrot, but the line of dance will be very tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILLP1 Posted May 11, 2010 #6 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I guess we are all different but the last thing that I want when I am eating is a band with dancing. It would be time to move to another restaurant for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfathomable Posted May 11, 2010 #7 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I don't dance myself (well, not well, and not between courses!), but it is possible to eat in the restaurant during a so-called dinner dance without being deafened by the music or distracted by dancers, even on the smaller ships. Both the band and the (small) dance floor tend to be near the door, and the music is neither loud nor continuous. If you sit at the side or back of the room, you may well find it's bearable. If you can't bear the thought of musical accompaniment, it's normally only one night of the cruise and the other venues beckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
