Big Easy Posted April 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Regent (PCH also owns Oceania) just announced their biggest show ever being added - Cirque 'n' Roll - starting after one of their ships renovations. Could this be a preview of what to expect on Marina and Riviera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypercafe Posted April 10, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 10, 2014 That would be great as the show sounds very nice. I think the present show room and stage would not support this show, hope I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CintiPam Posted April 10, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 10, 2014 If so, that would be better than any show "O" put's on.Rick I do not know when you last sailed on Oceania, but in the two-year hiatus between our 2011 and January 2014 cruises on Oceania, we thought the entertainment was improved dramatically. This is an excerpt from my review of our January Riviera cruise: Since we last had sailed on an Oceania cruise, Oceania has hired Jean Ann Ryan Productions to provide show entertainers. The three shows offered by this group of four singers and four dancers plus two excellent ballroom dancers, including one with very strong production values showcasing the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber, were very enjoyable. The two young male singers exhibited excellent voices and good stage presence, and one also did a great Elvis impersonator show during our cruise. There also were several opportunities to attend cabaret shows (one vocalist) at 6:15 PM in the Riviera Lounge or 10:45 PM in Horizons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regent has been providing cirue-style shows for some time. We saw one in 2010. Perhaps this is an updated version. I believe the shows they're featuring are exclusive with Regent; the exclusive show with Oceania is the Andrew Lloyd Webber show on Riviera.

We just returned from FP on Marina and we found the entertainment much improved from 2012. There were a few shows on our cruise that were pretty good...was pleasantly surprised.

Rare ronrick1943 Posted April 10, 2014 #9 Share Posted April 10, 2014 We were on the Marina last July, the shows may have been OK, but no really good. But everyone has their own idea of what good is. Plus we cruise for the enjoyment of cruising-so that's what really matters to us. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted April 10, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 10, 2014 This comment isn't really about the official shows, but I was very impressed with the singer in Horizons at our M&G on our November TA on Marina. I'm a classical singer and not always happy with pop singers, but this gal was just great. Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Easy Posted April 11, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Regent has been providing cirue-style shows for some time. We saw one in 2010. Perhaps this is an updated version. I believe the shows they're featuring are exclusive with Regent; the exclusive show with Oceania is the Andrew Lloyd Webber show on Riviera. A combination of acrobatics and music, "Cirque Rock 'n' Roll" will debut on the ship during its current sailing from Monte Carlo to Venice -- and it's the line's biggest show ever. Put together by producer Jean Ann Ryan, it's described by Day as "a mix of rock 'n' roll -- older rock and new rock -- with strength stunts on stage and beautiful aerial work on silks and hoops." Performances will feature 12 singers and dancers and eight musicians, who will play tunes from the likes of Michael Jackson, Pink, Queen, Elvis and others.

Rare Caroldoll Posted April 11, 2014 #12 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Oceania puts them on too late...like 9:45. What would one do between dinner, say 7:45 until 9:45. They need to adjust their timing, I would think, or do two shows...or at least have something in one of the lounges early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few shows on our cruise that were pretty good...was pleasantly surprised. The ones we saw were not much better than the old shows on Marina and the small ships. On the bigger ships they should do better. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to adjust their timing, I would think, or do two shows...or at least have something in one of the lounges early. We generally dine as early as possible -- 6:30 (we eat around 5:00 at home) -- and most times we barely make the show ay 9:45. Perhaps too much good conversation at dinner... we could never handle an earlier show time; we would have to wait until after the show to eat (never happen) or rush dinner at the buffet, not going to happen, either. The shows are important to us; the only shows we have ever missed were because of long dinners in La Reserve or Privee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are usually eating at 7:45 more so than at 9:45 If there is a show we REALLY want to see we eat early at a 2 top or go to the buffet There were a couple of special shows at 8pm on our Jan cruise ..I would have liked to have gone but not going to gobble my food in order to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted April 11, 2014 #18 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Personally, I'd never leave a dinner table with good food, good wine and good companions to attend any show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypercafe Posted April 11, 2014 #19 Share Posted April 11, 2014 We also eat early and found the time between dinner ending and the show hard to fill. There is music and danceing in the show room before the show however we found the seats so uncomfortable it was hard to hang out there. Each line is different. We are going on Crystal in June and they have two shows each night so it gives more options. After that it is the Europa2 and they just have one show at 10pm. Guess it all plays into what line you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypercafe Posted April 12, 2014 #21 Share Posted April 12, 2014 It is great Oceania provides such a wide selection of things to do to meet everyones needs. You can go to the lounge, go to the show or spend the evening eating. I think it is all great and am happy for all no matter which activity they do.

CintiPam Posted April 12, 2014 #22 Share Posted April 12, 2014 We also eat early and found the time between dinner ending and the show hard to fill. Evening trivia at 8:45 in Martinis is a lot of fun. :) Much less serious and more relaxing than daytime trivia and often run by the friendly and talented young adults from the nightly shows.

Paulchili Posted April 12, 2014 #24 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Our first Oceania cruise in June.... what time is daytime time trivia? is it after /during afternoon tea as on Regent? Unfortunately it overlaps with tea - usually at 4:30. On sea days there might be a morning trivia as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
