Rare BillOh Posted June 12, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I know its ancient history. My wife loved doing the flash mob on Allure in 2011 and 2013. If she likes it, what ever makes her happy. Did they also do this one Oasis? Do they still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehfl Posted June 12, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 12, 2015 This reminds me that the author of Flash Mob and Cruise Mob has a new book out. I know a lot of cruisers enjoyed Cruise Mob since it's set on a ship, as well as the prior book. Check out Robert O'Connell's The Day I Dressed Better Than My Wife. It's also good vacation reading, a series of shorter stories and essays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingee Posted June 15, 2015 #10 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I was wondering if that was what it was called. That would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted June 15, 2015 Author #13 Share Posted June 15, 2015 So how do they organize these on the ship if they are to be a surprise to the crowd? With 6000 people on board it will always be somewhat of a surprise to many, but not in the definition of many flash mobs you may see on Youtube. As Bob mentioned it is listed in few words in the compass and from there they announce when it will be, so if you are walking by the practice. Obviously many people know about it and show up to see, but you get a few surprised people. Here is the link to the first one my wife did. Its in high def.

Rare BillOh Posted June 19, 2015 Author #17 Share Posted June 19, 2015 If anyone has done the flash mob on both ships do you know if the song list/routine was the same? Between 2011 and 2013 on Allure it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaiseyM Posted June 20, 2015 #19 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Unfortunately the Cruise Compass also announces the actual event, which kinda spoils the whole idea of a flash mob. OK. That's kind of funny. It takes the element of surprise a way, I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be on the lookout for this and have mentioned it to my dd so she's now looking forward to it.

Rare BillOh Posted June 22, 2015 Author #24 Share Posted June 22, 2015 From May 30 Oasis Thanks for confirming. I assume this was a practice since they had the mini-stage there. Thanks to everyone for the affirmation, though with nearly a year to go, it could go away before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahqa Posted June 22, 2015 #25 Share Posted June 22, 2015 From May 30 Oasis I was on Oasis last month and, personally, I hated the flash mob rehearsals. As you can see they took up the entire width of the promenade and basically made it impossible to get past the rehearsal without getting smacked by flailing passengers. :( They really should move the rehearsals to Dazzles or somewhere else that doesn't get much foot traffic during the day.
