Mofrazier05 Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Hi All! I was recently on the Shipmates app and noticed someone had posted a 70's Party photo on the IOTS (Independence of the Seas) . We will be sailing on her in May. Can anyone verify if the parties/parades are back? We've sailed on RC since the restart but w/o sail away parties and super low capacity, etc. Would love to experience this if so! Thanks!

Eniale Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Just sailed Independence out of Port Canaveral. Sail Away party in full swing (Rick, the cruise director, was by far the BEST cruise director I have EVER encountered on a cruise, by the way) and there was both a 70s party and an 80s party in the Promenade, different nights.

Jill Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 There was a parade on Wonder this past week but no 70’s/80’s. Sail Away also took place Mofrazier05 and PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I just screamed with joy in this Zoom meeting! I'm soooo excited to hear this! My sister and her family will be sailing on IOTS for Mother's Day. We sail two weeks after. Such a wonderful surprise! Not telling the Hubs or the kids. They'll find out soon enough! TY for this info. I'm beyond excited!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to sail the Wonder in 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 There was a 70s party on Navigator this past week on the Royal Promenade, per @Big Dawg Ron CrimsonCruiser and Mofrazier05 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moby Dick Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 One of the best times I've had on any cruise was when we reserved/rented the Rising Tide, on Symphony, during the 70s/80s, I don't remember the decade. We had the complete bar open to just our party, it was a party of 14. The bar went up half way between the top and bottom of its usual travel. We had a birds eye view of the entire party. The young ones in our party danced and us old folks just drank and bobbed our heads.

MelandyGA Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Cruise newbie here. How do you know if there will be parties on your cruise? I enjoy a good theme night, but do you pack themed get up “just in case,” or can you find out somewhere in advance? Gotta get through 1 more week of work then we’re FL bound to sail on Harmony 4/3.

I have this same question. I know you can look at past cruise compasses, but not sure that's a definite thing or not. Mofrazier05 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many in our party did get themed up. It was a lot of fun. Don't know how you can find out other than asking here. I'd answer, but I don't know. We're on the Harmony in November. Keep her clean for us, Okay Happy sailing to you! Mofrazier05 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starbrat Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Do they do the theme parties on 4 day sailings? We are on one next week on oasis. I am trying to pack. Mofrazier05 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the Indy and can confirm both the 70s and 80s parties happened. I recommend getting to the pub or Vintages early and getting good seats! And a Dublin Ice Tea or two will help the curmudgeons in the group enjoy the shows... Mofrazier05 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the schedule in the App. If I remember correctly, the schedule included those shows so you could set a reminder.

NCBandit Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 There was a midnight balloon drop on the Promenade three years ago on our Easter sailing on the Symphony. Going on that same ship and sailing in two weeks (finally) and would love to see that return. Had a blast and the bad was great. Was a great way to kick off the cruise on the first night.
