Their symbol was a disco l.p. smashed with a big knife with the heading Saturday Night Cleaver. I never heard of that but I know first hand about bad music.Many years ago I was in a group .We were a No Hit wonder.We released a song on a 45.I still have the Demo and even I never listen to it.

That said, disco was all about being dance music. It was all about the club scene and the dance floor (and cocaine and quaaludes). It wasn't radio rock, even if they played it on the radio (annoying the heck out many, including yours truly). I must admit with great shame that I went disco clubbing in 70's solely to meet girls and definitely not there for the disco music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife loves the movie Saturday Night Fever and especially the Bee Gee songs in the movie. She's even got the DVD and the CD. She liked the evening show on the Liberty called Saturday Night Fever, but is burned out on 70's night on RC ships. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, even better would be a 60's night! You realize that occurs in 2 seperate venues😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 They kind of did that on the 50th Birthday cruise in 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I find it funny to look up and see people sitting in chairs watching and NOT MOVING. HOW can you sit still to YMCA??????? 😄 My dancing days are over.

Thank goodness it was short-lived (in my opinion). There was a lot of other great music from the '70's. On my first cruise in 1996 they had a sock hop which was a lot of fun. I guess that's getting quite old now. I see by the thread so far that things are moving forward and the "oldies" are now into the 90's. I have seen a 50s night based one. Except they use a Grease theme. Which is a 70s stage show ABOUT the 50s. Not the actual 50s. But that is before my time of remember. My music memories start about the time of the twist. 😄 And the music I associated with is mid-60s to mid-80s mainly. And I liked the disco era. It was a fun time. And no worse that the crazy dances of the 60s. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was home that weekend from college and my Dad and I were up talking. Knew NOTHING about it. And it came on. I think we watched most of it with our mouths hanging open. To this day, I remember the first mock commercial. For Jamitol. A take no Jeritol. I can't remember which male actor, but the line started, "This is my husband and I love him." VERY risque and avant garde for broadcast TV in that day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare brillohead Posted July 30, 2021 #150 Share Posted July 30, 2021 On 7/29/2021 at 2:50 PM, OdieCarol said: 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. Because the really good singers don't want to sign a 6+ month contract to only sing to middle class, middle aged cruisers. They have other options. Figure skaters and gymnasts and high-divers don't have a lot of professional options to continue their specialty, so signing up to get paid to do what they love on a cruise ship is easy to understand. But singers have options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
