Rare mscdivina2016 Posted January 13, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Contemplating cruising on NCL Jade in Dec '17...just wondering if anyone could provide information on dancing / dance floors on the NCL Jade? Good times IMHO. There is the spinnaker lounge which they have a nice several piece band each evening and they also have a ballroom type dance area right in front of the karaoke private rooms. They would play every evening and it would be Cha cha, swing,waltz,tango, ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satincruz Posted January 14, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Keep checking back in, though, as Jade is undergoing some deck plan changes this spring. So the dance areas could change/increase, etc ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Txyapaw Posted January 16, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Thanks so much for the info. I will check with NCL and see if they can shed some light on dry dock plans. :) Would the spinnaker lounge also be considered the night club for late night DJ music and "club" dancing?

They closed up around 11pm but the music west decent. Thet played music you could free style to, or West coast swing, East coast swing, Night club 2 even an occasional Rumba if you request it. There was about a dozen in there each evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ew101 Posted January 16, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Yes they have two nice dance venues and probably still will post drydock. For many years there was a trio in Medusa that played a lot of ballroom type music. They have retired and the ship has the Showtime Band who plays nice Dixieland and other variety music in both lounges when they are not (as a whole or in parts) in the main theater. They also have a rock/soul band that tends to play more in Spinnaker. There is a DJ who takes over in Spinnaker after 11 or so. There is a piano player and a guitar/singer duo. We had some brief chats aboard recently (12/16) and got the sense demand for actual ballroom is maybe down slightly vs variety music. The amount of actual ballroom/Latin dance music seems also to vary by cruise- less on shorter trips more on longer. This is likely related to demographics. We just learned after many cruises there is a job on the ship called "Bandmaster" - if you want to talk about music and dancing (or have preferences) track them down. Note the actual musicians in Showtime and some entire groups come and go with contracts. Edited January 16, 2017 by ew101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
