What time is the second show each evening on the Star? What time is the best time to make dinner reservations in order to comfortably make the second show? Thanks. :confused:

I was just on the Star last week and here are the show times. The production numbers by the Jean Ann Ryan Company don't change, but the special acts do rotate from week to week.

 

Sunday Night: Welcome Aboard Show - 9:30 p.m.

(Cruise Director Kieron, comedian, ship musicians

Monday Night: Music of The Night (Jean Ann Ryan Company Production)

7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. (Music of Andrew Lloyd Weber)

Tuesday Night: Jane Powell, singer in Concert; 9:30 p.m.

Wednesday Night: It's Fame (Jean Ann Ryan Company)

8:00 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. (the best show of the cruise IMO)

Thursday Night: Comedian & juggler Charles Peachock

7:30 and 9:30 p.m.

Friday Night: Cirque Pacific (Jean Ann Ryan Company) followed by tribute by representatives of all ships departments. (last regular show of week)

7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.

Saturday Afternoon: Jeffrey Allen (ship pianist) in "A Tribute to Elton John"

4:00 p.m. (due to 6-11 p.m. docking in Victoria)

 

 

I always tried to go to the earlier shows as they tended to be less crowded. My brother in law loved the Andrew Lloyd Weber show and went back for the late show too!

 

As far as dinner reservations, you cannot make reservations in the main restaurants (Aqua and Versailles) unless you are a group of 8 or more. Make your reservations for the specialty restaurants for the whole week the afternoon you get on to avoid getting shut out or bad times.

 

We had reservations in LaTrottatoria at 6:00 p.m on Wednesday and got out at 7:30 for the 8:00 p.m. Show. We had dinner reservations at 6 in Endless Summer and missed the 7:30 show on Thursday. The main restaurants get very busy between 6:15 and 7:30 p.m. and sometimes there is a wait. When we dined in the main restaurants we were always there at 5:30 p.m. If you tell the waiters you want to make the early show, you can usually do it.

KeystoneCruiser: You're just a wealth of great information, thanks for the reply and great review. Do you need to be in a suite or mini-suite to make reservations for the whole week on the first day? That's how it worked on the Dawn. Thanks.
