But let\u2019s be honest &#8211; most Bliss guests skew older, and <em data-start=\"427\" data-end=\"433\">that<\/em> is not their genre. Many a passenger has whispered (or shouted) the same feedback &#8211; hire DJs closer in age to the cruisers and bring music that actually gets the crowd moving.<\/p><p data-start=\"616\" data-end=\"1079\">This year, we did notice more variety &#8211; and we\u2019re giving Bliss a big gold \u2b50 for that. We tried the country night twice. One was boot-scootin&#8217; pop country fun, and we were into it. The second night? Not so much. Let\u2019s just say Waylon Jennings circa 1970 wasn\u2019t exactly heating up the dance floor. There was also salsa every night, which was spicy and sexy in theory, but mostly left the non-dancers lingering near the bar pretending not to panic.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e6678e4 highlight-text e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e6678e4\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f58aca5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f58aca5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Dance & Play Events: From Flirty to Filthy<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cc226a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1cc226a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"1785\" data-end=\"2095\">Let\u2019s talk about the Dance &amp; Play events, because YES.
