Carnevale Posted April 2, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2012 We'll be on our first OCL cruise this summer. We'll make dinner reservations as soon as we can but are wondering what time to aim for (assuming / hoping there will be some choice by the time we can book). We love to get in a little dancing every evening. We know there isn't much ballroom dancing on OCL (at least that what's we been told but we'd love to hear we are wrong). So to get in as much as we can, if anyone can tell us when the dancing usually happens (and where on the ship - we'll be on Riviera) we'd appreciate it. We'd hate to end up with our reservations all overlapping with the dance times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimandStan Posted April 2, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The schedule varies significantly, depending on what else is happening around the ship. To give you some idea of what to expect, I've posted three "Daily Currents": Sorry about the size, this was as big as I could get them. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted April 2, 2012 #3 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I would say the majority of the shows start at 9:45 pm they do have some dance music before the show then after the show some dance music in Horizons around 10:30-11pm Most people are tucked up by midnight or earlier;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out that there is dancing in Horizons from 6PM to 7:45PM (less the usual breaks), then the band goes down to the Marina Lounge to play for half an hour before the show. After that, they are back in Horizons (again, less breaks) from 9PM until 1AM. Apparently, Oceania is a Terpsichorian wonderland, and I've never noticed...:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I am too busy eating or getting ready to chow down to notice the 6pm dance session :D I thought the band was usually in the lounge during the show (at least on the r-ships they were) Good to know for those that dance ;) YKW was always the one playing the music for people to dance so I never had a partner :( Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnevale Posted April 3, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Many thanks for all of this great info and for posting the schedules (interesting to get the overview of some full days)! I'm delighted to see there is this much dancing - much more than I had been led to believe. It will really help to have this much dance time as a way of off-setting some of the effects of all of the good food I understand we'll have.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
