Dancing on Westerdam/Osterdam

[Mekka]

We have cruises on the Westerdam and Osterdam coming up in the next few months and are wondering if there is still Ballroom Dancing in the Ocean Bar. It appears that HAL is cutting back on musicians and dancing and we are hoping they have not eliminated it on these ships. Does anyone know what the current state of affairs is in the Ocean Bar?

We are also hoping that the OB will have dancing on Westerdam when we sail next week. If you don't hear from others in the meantime, I will post here when we are back.

On Westerdam Alaska cruise in July "The Band', actually, a combo, played two or three sets in the Ocean Bar and we observed people dancing at different times. Not certain if they would take music requests,or if the music wouldbe ideal for ballroom dancing. Believe you would find it enjoyable.

We were on the Westerdam for 21 days this past spring. There were very few evenings (as compared to other years when we sailed this itinerary) when "The Band" played in the Ocean Bar.

 

They were used for the shows in the evenings.

Just off the Oosterdam in September and there was no dancing anywhere except for the BB King Blues Club.

 

The Band had been replaced in the Ocean Bar by a solo piano player who normally played two or three 45-minute sets a day around Happy Hour and early dinner.

We just returned from Oosterdam on Monday and found the same! No dancing except BB King! We missed the Ocean Bar!
