Visit Website Reminisce w/ Old School R&B DJ Madame Dutchess will be playing the classic Old School R&B hits from the 70's and 80's on the upper level of the cruise—a feel-good mix of soul classics, funk grooves, slow-jam favorites, and dance-floor staples that keep the vibes smooth and the energy up. Expect sing-alongs and timeless cuts inspired by artists like Luther Vandross, Anita Baker, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Chaka Khan (plus plenty more legends). While you're vibing upstairs, 97.5FM DJ Big Mark will be rocking the dance area on the lower level with nonstop crowd-pleasers and feel-good throwbacks. Earlier in the day, Madame Dutchess will be setting the Old School vibe on stage and Hurricane Hazel will be providing crab-picking demos during the feast portion—perfect for first-timers and pros.
