Please NVM, found answer to my question.

Would recent sailors of the R ships please provide an update on current dancing opportunities (and perhaps your personal experience) in the main show lounge and Horizons? Thank you very much.

How about music and dancing on the ship? Were there many opportunities to do couples social dancing? I'm curious whether the big dance floor in the main show lounge is ever used for dancing to a live band? Thank you in advance for answering my questions.

Wife and I have been Princess cruisers of late, mainly because of our proximity to one of its home ports on the west coast. We're really tempted by Oceania's promise of better food and the smaller-ship experience, but we love the live music in the lounges and variety of dancing opportunities on Princess (Not pop nightclub wiggle-in-place dancing, but couples social dancing). Scanning the Currents that I can find on CC, it appears that most of what we'll find on Oceania will be classical music. Is that a fair statement? How much dancing can we realistically expect to enjoy? I see a sizable dance floor in pictures of the main showroom on the R ships. Is that ever used for dancing? Or is dancing limited to the Horizon Lounge? Thanks in advance to Oceania veterans who might be willing to chime in with their experience.

Ruby Princess CD is Michael (Mikka) Reitano- He who incessantly pushes bingo, spa services, and art auctions over the intercom.

Patters would be terrific. Vaguely recall that some musicians in various lounges are due to rotate out right about now. Would love info on the new arrivals. Thank you.

We ate there on the Majestic Princess last September. IMHO, it is the only specialty restaurant on Princess that is worth the extra charge. Each of what we ordered were well executed and presented, tasted great, and clearly stood out above MDR food, as specialty restaurant food should. One can't say the same about Crown Grill and Sabitini, which we've tried multiple times on different ships, but no longer bother to. Yes, the location is not ideal. And if you're easily bothered by ambient noise, then that may ruin the experience for you. But our #1 criteria for a restaurant is how the food tastes. If the food knocks my socks off, I don't mind eating it squatting in the hallway outside the casino.
