Scratch DJ

Scratch DJ Academy, founded by Jam Master Jay of Run DMC, is the world’s leading DJ and music-production school. Currently in 50 states and 35 countries, Scratch has now created a customized program specifically for Celebrity Cruises. As the hosts of the first DJ academy at sea, enjoy an unforgettable experience learning how to blend, mix, and scratch like a pro.

 

This is listed as a new feature on the Summit. Does anybody have any experience with it yet?

Not trying to offend anyone but why would anyone come on a cruise and want to do this? Sounds perfectly dreadful to us.

[Jane2357]

On Celebrity? Let's hope not. Sorry

[Tommy3putts]

Yeah right. Too funny!

[Celebrity Cruises]

Hi all,

 

A little more information about our Scratch DJ program:

 

For our budding “music mixologists” we have exactly what any aspiring DJ could want—a complimentary program we call Celebrity’s DJU. With Scratch DJ Academy® classes taught by seasoned DJ personalities, our teens will learn how to DJ on cutting edge equipment through a series of hands-on sessions. All this excitement leads up to a rocking graduation celebration where our newly taught DJs impress the celebrity DJ by creating their own mixes. They’ll also receive cool giveaways—including a certificate of graduation, DJ dog tags, and a scratch DJ Academy T-shirt.

Sound proof room?

Not interested in this at all. With all the surveys that Celebrity does I cannot believe that this was ever a topic of discussion. Seriously!

Actually, I think it sounds kinda fun...and I'm a baby boomer with limited knowledge of hip hop. Any chance us old guys could give it a spin? :)

Sounds like a great idea for teen passengers! My oldest grandson would love it.

[Tommy3putts]

Oops. Thought this was another genius CC poster prank. This is for real? Really? Oh well just so long as it's no where near me and the Sunset bar.....whatever.

To each his own. I find the trivia contests dreadfully boring but I know many people like it. I appreciate that Celebrity is diversifying it's offerings.

While I also appreciate that Celebrity is trying to diversify their onboard activities, I just have a feeling that neither Mrs. nor Mr. Aurora will be participating.

 

But a quick question -- is this activity included in the basic cruise fare or is it offered for an additional fee?

Post 5 explains that the activity is intended for teens and is complimentary.

[Tommy3putts]

What's the dress code going to be?

[uncle-b]

I hope the DJ currently on the Constellation and known as DJ & Lady Sax is not from this school. They are terrible.

[patty1955]

Thank you, Celebrity. Somehow I missed the part about it being a teen activity. It's not something I'd enjoy, but it's been a long time since I was a teen.

OMG...a new low for a previously classy cruise line.

 

A scratch DJ....modern elegance...not exactly...!

 

teens we know do not idolize emulate or wanna be rap and scratch DJs....hope they keep their sounds away from pubkic areas...bad enough we have the Miami DJs....

I agree whole heartedly with your sentiment because learning how to be a DJ equals gangsta rap. While we are at it, we should recommend that no Elvis songs should be played (gyrating hips) and all Beatles songs should be banned (they are more popular than god). Only Perry Como, Bing Crosby (scratch that he beat his kids) and Tony Bennett should be played or taught to our kids.

Wow - so this is offered for free to teens but we adults now have to pay for a Zumba class. :mad: My children are well past the teen stage but a DJ is not someone I'd care for my children to emulate. Big sigh. Let's just hope we don't have to hear it.

[Shake]

Remember it's called, "MODERN" luxury.

 

Don't think kids of today bring along their albums anymore.
