gam888 Posted March 31, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 31, 2023 We are considering the Celebrity Apex or Celebrity Beyond this July in Europe. We enjoy doing some ballroom dancing and wonder is there any ballroom dancing opportunities on these ships? On other Celebrity ships that we have been on, there were certain evenings that in a given lounge, there was pre-recorded ballroom music. Do they offer that on the Apex or Beyond? In general , how much dancing opportunities are there with either live music or music played by a DJ in a lounge? How is the entertainment on these ships? What kind of music do they play in the lounges? Does anyone have any daily activity print out that they can post here? Any information on these ships are welcome. Thank you in advance.

CruiseCrew123 Posted March 31, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) Didn’t see any when I was on Beyond last month . There’s only really the martini bar, roof top terrace and The Club as social areas that play music and even then it was the same set of musicians singing from a very limited set list Edited March 31, 2023 by CruiseCrew123 More info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwokpot Posted April 1, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2023 You will not find ballroom dancing on any E-Class ships. Having said that there are three venues where dancing can/will occur;The Club, Grand Plaza, and Eden. The best place you may find a more traditional partner dance will be at the Grand Plaza. Sometimes they will feature a Jazz trio. The Club will be DJ music. All three venues may/will host the Silent Disco dance parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox Fan Cruiser Posted April 2, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 2, 2023 The music groups in the Grand Plaza varied and there is a small dance floor. Some people with more formal dancing (ballroom?) were cutting a rug one night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esprit Posted April 4, 2023 #5 Share Posted April 4, 2023 On our Edge cruise we could dance Latin in the The Club. Its floor is perfect for Ballroom too but sadly the music rarely suited a Waltz, Quick Step or Slow Foxtrot. Loads of opportunities to dance Cha Cha, Rumba and Tango however. Celebrity ships are the worst for Ballroom dancing opportunities. Princess is better IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didicruiser Posted April 4, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 4, 2023 When on the Reflection this past December, recorded ballroom dance music was played in the Sky Lounge most days before early dining. Check the daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39august Posted April 4, 2023 #9 Share Posted April 4, 2023 But we may think that these other ship experiences may indicate the same could happen on E class ships. As above, check your daily for possible venues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39august Posted April 4, 2023 #11 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Interesting. I guess that makes sense when trying to lure a younger demographic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to be fair and reviewed the daily programs for my most recent Celebrity cruises on the Solstice and Beyond: I WAS WRONG The Beyond did have a Ballroom Hour with prerecorded music in The Club at 6:00pm.!!! (Solstice had it in the Sky Lounge) My apologies for providing wrong answers!!! Edited April 4, 2023 by kwokpot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SbbquilterUT Posted April 4, 2023 #13 Share Posted April 4, 2023 There were dance classes during sea days run by the dancers - just a bit of fun to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be happy to hear their MAY be a Ballroom hour of dancing in The Club at early evening to prerecorded music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
