It's getting a little stale for me, Anyone else like to see it go away? I got tired of them in the 70’s.😊 haven’t been to one since and have no intention of doing so any time soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadwaybaby123 Posted July 29, 2021 #27 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Nope, it gives me ideas about what to do with the seniors I work with! They LOVE Disco parties, and since I wasn't born until the 80's I don't really know what Disco parties were like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do away with the 70s and bring on more magicians. Of course, even better would be a 60's night! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNickMN Posted July 29, 2021 #31 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Before everything shut down, I was tired of the 70s party. Now I'm looking forward to its cheesy goodness. In a few cruises, I may be tired of it again. But I'm fortunate that I sincerely love almost every musical genre, so there's always something for me no matter what ship I'm on. Magicians and jugglers used to be my "OK, I'll go in, but I'm sitting in the balcony so I can duck out early if I need to" show. But now the balcony is for unvaxed, so I'm not sure what I'll do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assume there are a lot of people who don't get the chance to cruise as often as we do and it's a new fun experience for them. That being said, I love the 70's music, and who doesn't enjoy seeing the Village People! I would love to see the cruise lines mix it up a bit, but, I imagine that might be harder on the staff. Anyway, these activities can usually be avoided. I would not go to see The Village People for any amount of money that could be offered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadwaybaby123 Posted July 29, 2021 #33 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I'm hoping they do a "Dance Through The Decades" theme week. For example: Monday: 50's Sock Hop Tuesday: 60's Dance Party Wednesday: 70's Disco Party Thursday: 80's Party Friday: 90's Party Saturday or Sunday: Early 2000's party 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of The Ramones, The Clash, The Six Pistols... (might have spelled that one wrong??) Good old fashioned family entertainment.... and with a heck of a beat! 🕺💃 I saw The Ramones for the first time in 1974 ,a nice wholesome family band.I had a friend known as Richie D who occasionally sat in with the band. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesepleese Posted July 29, 2021 #37 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I've never been a big fan of the disco music, more classic rock and some blues music. RIP Dusty, always loved ZZ Top and you will be missed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davekathy Posted July 29, 2021 #40 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) The staff needs to play some of the other great songs from the 60's and 70's. ✌️The 70's wasn't all about disco! 👎 Edited July 29, 2021 by davekathy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tserface Posted July 29, 2021 #42 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Totally... and, when they do 70's music trivia, why do they only do disco? There were tons of good singer/songwriters in the 70's that were not disco by any means. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdieCarol Posted July 29, 2021 #43 Share Posted July 29, 2021 As for the entertainment onboard most is doable, however the RCI Singers and Dancers are the very worst. With all the talent shows going now, American Idol, The Voice and America’s Got Talent there’s no shortage of good performers yet Royal seems to seek out mediocre performers that try to sing so loudly it’s awful. These shows have been replaced by upscale productions on Oasis Class & others and it’s a welcome relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare RobInMN Posted July 29, 2021 #45 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I wasn't a fan of the 70's in the the 70's, and still not a fan. Except Kiss, and Sweet's Ballroom Blitz. Now, 80's/90's heavy meatal, "hair bands", and other 80's/90's rock (up until grunge, and no rap, very little pop) thrown in, and I'm there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted July 29, 2021 #46 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) Curmudgeon Joe, Here... Yes, the disco party can go. Please no more ABBA, Macarena, Electric slide, Black Eyed Peas, Justin Bieber... All AC/DC Party would be great. Beginning and ending the night with Metallica's Sandman.

MrMarc Posted July 29, 2021 #47 Share Posted July 29, 2021 60s would be much better. Better music, better costumes. I hate being reminded of what I listened to and wore in the 70's. We thought we looked cool. I've seen pictures, we didn't. And even if they saty with the 70's, there were much better bands than The Village People. If they want to be realistic, they need to add a room with all glass table tops.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfganghowell Posted July 29, 2021 #50 Share Posted July 29, 2021 You're not going to please everyone. I think the current 70s party appeals to the most people with high energy and song recognition. They have to avoid something too niche since they are trying to attract people from 6 to 60+. Sure it's cheesy, that's the point. And they get a lot of crowd participation with the Village People. I'd love to see an 80's party - they would have a lot of the same issues and could do a boy band and a female supergroup or Madonna/The GoGo's kind of thing. Keep the high energy and recognition factor but change it up a little. Just my two cents - but what do I know? I only work in entertainment. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
