thanks for all your input, Bell Boy your comments are encourging. I hope I am on a sailing with solo cruisers who are dancers. Often my cabinmate is not a dancer.

I am planning another transatlantic cruise. Nightly ballroom or sequence dance at the Queens room is the highlight of the trip. If there's no more ballroom dancing, I will be so sad. Perhaps I will go with another cruise line where the perks for me is much better. Does anyone know if there are dance hosts on the transatlantic cruises?

Thank you Mapleleafforever. BTW, love your name.

Thank you Island lady. Our son booked it for us. His is a sky suite or star ( not sure) so I presume our is too. All I know is we can eat at Coastal Kitchen. We will cetainly make reser. We look forward to it but is also kind of anxious about on a ship with over 5000 passengers!

We will be on the Icon next month and got a suite this time. We plan to have our meals at Coastal Kitchen everyday. Do we need to make reservation daily or can we just walk in during its opening hours? Or can we prebook for our preferred dining time? thanks ahead for any info.

Are dance hosts back on all Cunard ships now, or only for certain voyages?

I hope Cunard keeps the dance hosts. That's the major reason I sail Cunard. I did Celebrity cruises before. They have suites and cabins equivalent to the grill suites with their own restaurants and amenities and the staff attends to the small groups above and beyond their duty; and it's fare is much cheaper than Cunard too. Of course I miss Cunard's gala nights, but for a 7 to 10 day cruise I don't mind Celebrity. For a longer cruise we do need the dance hosts , or what do we do in the evening after the shows. How do we get the message to Cunard?

I just called Cunard re dance hosts. I was told any sailing out of the UK there's no dance hosts on board. Very disappointed. Hope this will change later.

Nice to know they are back. thank you.

thank you for your replies. I plan to do the northern light cruise on the QV which is later in the year. Hopefully they will have hosts on board. I do both American and International and most non-standard dances including Argentine Tango but good at nothing. I just dance for fun. Roll call is a good way to find out. Once my cruise is firm I will try roll call.

Are dance hosts back on the ships this summer? just wondering if I should pack dance shoes. thank you

I will order mine but the 2 older people I am travelling with have never used a computer before and never own a cell phone. What can they do? We have side by side cabins . Can I use mine to help them? Any advice appreciated.

Can anyone tell me if the dance hosts are back?

thank you for your clarification. it's very helpful.
