Bowen Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 This was the first cruise where we practiced for a flash mob on the final night. I’ve never done anything like it and it was SO MUCH FUN! 10/10 would recommend.

Gilley Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 I thought about it when I was on Anthem 2 weeks ago, but decided not to. I even missed the flash mob dancing. But Will keep this in mind for my next cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrinkm Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 @Bowen How did you know about it? Was it just an activity in the planner? Did you have to sign up, were spots limited, etc? Can you explain the process because this is right up my alley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK where the mob flashed….I missed it jbrinkm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowen Posted November 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 It was listed in the planner. Day two and three at 2:00, lasting about a half hour. Then again at 2:00 on day seven with the actual performance at 4:45. You just show up, no need to sign up, no limit of people. After the first practice we just went back to our original spots each time. It was on the promenade in front of the little shop next to cafe promenade. The practices and performance were all in the same spot. WAAAYTOOO, Cactus527, jbrinkm and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonCruiser Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 I first heard about it on ParoDeeJay's channel when Dee participated. It looks fun but the way it's announced and advertised always feels like its missing the point of a true flash mob to me. Not a complaint really, just an observation. The thing I like about a flash mob (both as a spectator and as a performer) is that they feel like they just happen spontaneously like a dance number in a musical. I don't want to know a performance is gonna happen...i just wanna be surprised. I think, if they were cool about it, someone should tap people at the various dance-themed events on the first couple days and do a word of mouth thing ("hey, you should join the flash mob. Come here tomorrow at 10 to learn the dance. Bring a friend") And the people they tap could just be anyone who looks like they're having fun (instead of an objective talent-based thing). And recruitment could still be mentioned in the cruise planner. But just not the main event. Let the main event be a surprise Lol Xaa and jbrinkm 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teddy Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 We were on Vision pre-pandemic and the cruise director did the Michael Jackson Thriller dance with a bunch of guests. They practiced in the Centrum during the cruise, so it wasn't a surprise, but it was a lot of fun to watch....both the practices and the final show.
