If I may quote an under-appreciated Dutch eurodance group from the late 1990s, "We like, we like to party". If those lyrics strike a chord with you, then this blog post is for you.
Finding a good party on Royal Caribbean is something a lot of people look to do and hey, who doesn't want to have a good time while at sea?
Perhaps you want to meet someone special or just get your groove on (do people actually say that still?) and get down and the good news is, there are places on Quantum of the Seas to dance, sing and just plain party on this brand new cruise ship.
Best place for club dancing and music: Music Hall
If you want to jump into a crowd of people and raise your hands into the air like you just don't care, then Music Hall is for you.
This hip spot features live music in the evenings to get things started and that gets a crowd in of itself. But after the band is done, the DJ comes out and then Music Hall really comes alive.
We've seen crowds on Royal Caribbean cruise ships before at various dance locations but Music Hall really gets the people going. So if you want to dance to your favorite dance hits, Music Hall is the place to go.
Honorable mention: Bionic Bar & SeaPlex
Best place to sing along to music: Schooner Bar
If you love great bar music and you even like joining in singing from time to time, then check out the Schooner Bar on Quantum of the Seas.
The Schooner Bar has been a staple of Royal Caribbean cruise ships for a while and on Quantum of the Seas, there's a prominent piano where live music is played and it always draws a good crowd.
Unlike the Music Hall, people are usually sitting at the tables, booths and the bar and it's calmer but there's still a great time to be had here. We loved hearing "Piano Man", "Sweet Caroline" and other classics and after a few drinks, who doesn't feel like singing along too?
Best place for live lounge music: Boleros
Like the Schnooner Bar, Boleros has become a fan favorite on Royal Caribbean ships. This latin-themed lounge is the perfect place for a live band to play some toe-tapping tunes.
There's something about latin music that just appeals to everyone. Maybe it's the smooth melodies or the intoxicating will to dance but Boleros is always full and always a good spot for an evening drink while you enjoy the band play.
Yo amo Boleros!
