Rock on!

I quickly read the first line of the sticky (incorrectly, of course) and thought - oh great, the Rolling Stones - a group I've never liked. Then I looked more closely and realized it was Rolling Stone Magazine that they were pairing with; that's a whole different story. I love rock and roll, and will look forward to visiting the venue when it hits the other classes of ships.

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

I'm thinking Journey, Eagles, ZZ Top, Dire Straits, Steppenwolf, Aerosmith, Boston, Styx, Zeppelin, AC/DC, Queen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Scorpions...................... ;p

No more YMCA & disco party. Enough of that. Time to bring back 60's Woodstock theme night.

 

Sounds fun! The flower arrangements will all be 'borrowed' for hair effects and we can pretend that the towelling robes are actually kaftans. ;p

Awesome! Can’t wait to report on it when we set sail 2018-12-10 right after K’dam’s drydock refurbishment. [emoji1591][emoji41][emoji1591]

 

Please do post a report as soon as you can after returning. We will be on the Jan 4th sailing and are excited about this new venue. Thanks.

Finally we may be getting away from the Lester Lanin and his Orchestra and Guy Lombardo era.

 

Good eras but it’s Boomer Time. We grew up on Rock and Roll.

 

I have seen hints on board that HAL is moving away from the show tune/big band era and is moving more toward catering to the baby boomers. Though I am not a boomer (far too young for that - I'm 50), I am tickled to see and hear more classic rock played throughout the ship and in entertainment venues. Let's face it, the older crowd are becoming lesser in numbers and the middle aged cruiser is now dominating the demographic. ;)clear.png?emoji-wink-1685

HAL is finally listening to the new huge segment of their demographic... Boomers! ;):D

 

Yep, some boomers will really like this.

 

Others not so much (sorry). The 50 somethings I know (who are Whitesnake, Rolling Stone and Coldplay fans) prefer the after dinner classical music concerts in the Explorer's Lounge, and then it's to the casino. The Rolling Stone magazine venue won't interest them in the slightest. Nor me, and I'm older than they are.

 

Thankfully there's something for everyone ! :)

 

Good Luck HAL.

Perfect,

 

and throw in some Cream, Clapton, Pink Floyd and David Gilmore for desert .

I approve of the concept, for whatever that approval is worth. I like some Rock n' Roll music.

 

I wonder: would the "Golden Oldies" from the disco era qualify for this new venue? Songs like Gloria Gaynor's I'll Survive"? Or maybe Rollin' on the River, although that might even be pre-disco. (A music historian, I surely am not!)

Very much looking forward to this new rock and roll venue. Love, love, love BB King Blues Club(not too loud for me at all) and this will be right up our alley also as we are baby boomers. We will be on Koningsdam 12/10/18 cruise which is first one after dry dock. Hope they get the new venue set up during dry dock and that it is open during our cruise. Maybe Copper10-8 has heard something about the timing???

The video says "four decades of rock and roll." Technically rock started in the 1940's, but didn't really pick up steam until the 50's. Starting with the 50's, you have close to 7 decades of rock and roll. Which three are they leaving out?

Doubtful, but we can find someone who can move like Jagger ;p

 

Yeah! My 31-year-old son, who loves BB King and is super excited about this new venue, can move on the dance floor. Unfortunately, I only get to dance a couple of times with him before the girls swarm, most of them impressed with the fact that he's dancing with his mom. (My husband is deceased, so I no longer have an assured dance partner.)

 

What these young ladies don't realize, though, is I love to dance, but once they start asking him to dance, he's no longer my partner! I'm now dancing with the other single ladies.

I was born in 1960 after the 1970’s there was no good music. Rock On. Really only four decades:)
