Ballroom dancing?

[Boo2]

We've been on RCI, Princess and Celebrity but this is our first time considering Oceania. Can anyone tell me what the ballroom dancing is like on the Riviera?

The ships Orchestra plays dance music for about an hour in the Main lounge (the Riviera Lounge), just before the show.

However, because there is no dedicated dance floor in that lounge, the set up is a little odd as the dancing takes place on the (slightly raised) stage.

 

From the Cocktail Hour until closing time, there is also dance music in the Observation Lounge (Horizons), provided by either a combo or a Disc Jockey.

Here, you will find a large, traditional dance floor, and elaborate theatrical lighting designed to enhance the dancing experience.

In general, the live music is from the Great American Songbook, done in a standard "big band" style, while the recorded music tends to be much more contemporary.
