Anybody else tired of the 70's disco party?

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.  😉

This is what kills me... you go to the "silent disco" (which actually plays a LOT of 80s songs, rather than disco), and the dance floor is PACKED with dancers.  Then the headphones get turned in, and the DJ starts playing stupid "club music" and all the dancers DISAPPEAR instantly.

You had a packed venue with people participating, buying drinks, enjoying themselves... and then you ran them off.  Why not have the "guest DJ" keep the party going once the headphones are turned in?  Even 20yos will dance to 80s music, because they grew up listening to it when their parents played it.  Very frustrating.

I'd watch Marc "Bing Bong" Walker in anything he's performing up there !   He FINE!  😉

Yeah, they sold out. 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.  👍

The movie was film in an area that I spent a lot of time in .I enjoyed that portion of the film.

And they were right.  The soundtrack for Saturday Night Fever has sold something like 40 million copies, more than half of which were sold in the first few years.

 Very few artists never sold out.If you were to google wealthiest rock singers you might be surprised.

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.

Guys and gals did that back to the 20’s

They kind of did that on the 50th Birthday cruise in 2019

On Mrs.66 birthday cruise we spent our evenings in the casino.

I like Classic Rock, but it doesn't lend itself very well to dancing

The last time I danced was at my wedding.

If you want to know what the older crowd likes, go to Karaoke 😉

I am part of the older crowd and I never go to Karaoke.Last week was my birthday and my daughters bought me several Classic Rock CD’s.

Ok, I get it - but just understand that you can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal, you can do whatever you feel.

I remember Bob Dylan was quoted that you can dance to it when he heard a Byrds cover of one of his songs.

I saw Dylan for the first time in 1961.Hard to believe that he is 80.

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.  

They also do not want to work on the ships as many of the singers are asked to.

Year after year, it's the same party on every cruise. It's getting a little stale for me,

Anyone else like to see it go away?

 

No never

I was referring to the entertainers who work in the stores and other venues.

A singer friend of mine was asked to have members of his band do that .

Sure they do. You used see them at muster drill. I've seen some in gift shops during the day making some extra coin
