Dancing on the Oriana

[Slow Foxtrot]

Would be interested to know if there is still dancing more or less every night in Harlequins. Some years ago Oriana had a brilliant band for dancing called Natural High. Oriana had some of the best dancing at sea - is this still the case? Thanks for any info.

Yes but no more Natural High. I still haven't come across a better band.

Definately dancing in Harlequins every night last June. But not come across Natural High anywhere...!

Dancing every night last month.

Thanks for the info. Do they still play some sequence dances alongside the ballroom, latin and jive? And is the John James Trio still around?

We have been dancing mostly on Cunard ships in the last few years but still prefer the 'Britishness' of dancing on the Oriana.

Yes John James trio were on board in August and there was a mixture of ballroom, sequence and Latin played every night.

Thanks for that Sue. NIce to know things haven't changed much. The John James Trio have been playing on the Oriana for very many years. Look forward to dancing on Oriana again very soon. The dance floor is not as big as that on the QM2 but it's usually less crowded and the Oriana dance music is more suitable for UK dancers.

hi Foxy, glad to see you are still around. Pity you aren't going to be on the Aurora next year. We are doing the SF to Southampton let through the Panama. Would have been lovely to catch up with you and Mrs Foxy for a spin around the floor. :) mummsie

Hello Mummsie, it would certainly be nice to meet up again on the dance-floor but we have already sailed through the Panama Canal this year on Queen Victoria. Dancing apart I am sure you will enjoy Puerto Quetzal in Guatamala and Cartagena in Colombia. Incidentally, Queen Victoria has a very elegant dance-floor but it gets much too crowded on 'Ball' nights.

Have a great cruise on Aurora. Foxy.
