Dinner show john Hughes ncl escape

[metuken]

First. Brat Pack is about 90-minutes. There is semi nudity, but nothing you dont see at the pool or beach. There may have been a f-bomb but cant remember, I was have a great time. I say bring the kids who are 12 and over. The show is based on coming of age movies from the 80s. A 12 yearold today knows much more than kids in the 80s ever did. The real thing about the show, is that it a supper club atmosphere. You sit at very small tables which are close together. I see this often in old NYC lounges and show rooms. It is not a dining room. The cost for our show was 29.96 (.98?) and the diner package was not allowed. Our show statted at 8PM. Have fun!

ordered a hamburger and fries even at the John Hughes show

 

so, you ordered the kids meal?

No, you can pretty much order whatever you want

There was more than one f bomb. Well I'm glad you say its okay to bring a 12 year-old Norwegian disagrees

I thought there was a set menu for the dinner/supper show?

There was on the Epic, Breakaway, and Getaway.

The only thing you could request off that set menu was eggplant parm. if you stated you wanted vegetarian entree.

 

Is it different on the Escape? Did they have a different menu?

 

Thanks,

It is a fixed menu unless you have a food allergy. See below

There is also a second (non-John Hughes) Cabaret show that currently plays in the Supper Club featuring a different fixed menu.

Those menus look delicious

Norwegian does not disagree. Their daily lists it as PG16. If you go by what PG13 means in the movie industry, that means some content may be inappropriate for those under 16, parental guidance is suggested, but admittance is not restricted.

 

That means Norwegian is putting it in the parent's hands whether their children can handle the content. (IMHO Where it should be.)

 

Norwegian already has situations where children are not supposed to be, even if parents would let them, (ie. Howl at the Moon after midnight (11pm?), so if they felt this show equaled that in intensity, they would have restricted it to just adults, or said "Noone under 16 admitted."

 

By stating PG16, they are letting the parents decide according to their children's maturity level. And due to it being a dinner show, it's highly likely children under 16 would be attending WITH their parents. They then have the opportunity to enjoy the meal and entertainment, while at the same time, using it as a teachable moment for many things. (Manners, culture, differences between decades, life when their parents were young, "appropriate" behavior ON stage vs. in "real life," etc., etc.)

 

Let me remind you, children have access to much more "adult content" than years ago. Parents can be very vigilant about what their children are allowed to see, but there are endless ways for them to witness more than we would wish them to see. FB, instagram, snapchat, and most of all, you tube, (including your channel) is available on any computer, tablet, and phone nowdays, as well as all that can be found on cable/satellite tv! As a result, they have a larger knowledge than we did at their age. Parents (in general,) understand this and cater their parenting accordingly.

 

Since you have no children, I would think you don't have a dog in this race. This is between the parents and NCL.

 

If they were disrupting the show, I can understand your being upset, but that doesn't seem to be the case, since you stated all children on your sailing were well behaved.

Thank you. This is like the menu on the Getaway for their dinner show. I know if you wanted a veggie entree they gave you eggplant parm.

Now this menu is different. I've already booked the dinner show and all entertainment, however, this was not listed so I'm guessing it needs to be booked on the ship? I'm hoping it's not going to be on a day that I've booked other entertainment and I know I can't ask you what day(s) it will be offered on the 7 day cruise because you weren't on that cruise! :)

I do agree that the family should be diligent in what their children see, anywhere, be it on a ship or at home. But in no way should a parent blame the line, or any company for content that he parent finds offensive. They did not allow then or yourself in. They invited you. You accepted the invite. Take a deep swallow and, if junior or little Sally have questions, then start a conversation. Chances are the kid has probably seen this somewhere and will not react to the "offense" at all (parents can be have so many hangups). It will most likely go over their head. Example, if a young daugther (say 9 years old) is smitten with Justin Beber and is taken to a Beber concert, how does the parent explain that stuff? Actually, I would never bring a kid to a Beber concert, but would bring them to Brat Pack. Note: I'm not a parent, however, I am the best uncle to 7 neices and nephews who are very well cultured, traveled and adjusted! Don't stiffle your kid.

I'm glad you brought that up, Ken. Yes, I had actually seen some it before, especially the man boys in their underwear dancing around. ;) and thanks for calling me little, it's a first :)

 

LOL. No really, I agree 100% with your post. Well said.

You have me very confused. I'm not sure if you agree with my post, disagree, not understand it, or meant to quote someone else.

 

I don't blame the line for anything, was not invited anywhere, nor was I offended by anything.:confused:

 

I was actually agreeing with your previous post that stated 12 year olds and up should have no problem understanding and enjoying the show. I was saying that due to their wider range of experiences in life due to the computer and tv they are much more mature than we were at their age and can handle any simple nudity or bad language that this show provides.

 

I was stating that Motleyfan was wrong in his assessment that Norwegian disagrees with allowing those under 16 to attend. They state with their PG16 rating that anyone under 16 should have parental guidance (and therefore, permission,) but CAN attend. And I completely agree.

 

I am saying the parents are the ones to decide if their children are mature enough to handle it, and in most cases they will be. That is as it should be. Norwegian makes a suggestion of age, but parents have the ultimate choice and responsibility.

 

That is not "stifling the child." It is KNOWING your child and acting accordingly! By all means, if you feel your child is up for it, no matter their age, BRING THEM. In all likelihood, it will be a positive experience for all.

 

BTW, I have a newly 13 year old, and if she shows interest, I have no problem at all bringing her to ANY show (excluding porn, of course.) I have raised her, know her maturity and comfort level and have the ability and compassion to answer any question she may have.

 

I hope this doesn't sound "preachy" or something. I just was concerned I was being misunderstood.

I totally agree with you. I am very often surprised by parents who keep their kids so tight that the kid can't experience the world around them. In return, the parents are so caught up in "protecting" their kids that they themselves are not enjoying life. Smell the roses, sometimes they don't smell nice. Watching a show, eating dinner together with your preteen, teen, young adult, is a special time and it should happen more. I say just go to the show and experience it. Sure, it costs some money (your choice). If the show ends up not to your liking that it your own opinion. The food offering too. Where is the surprise in travel anymore... Why do cc'ers need to know everything? Experience it for yourself. Make your own decisions.

Glad to see we agree! :) We can only hope, sometimes reading someone else's viewpoint opens up minds to other options. ;)

There is a set menu just like on the epic, but just like on the Epic I did not like what was being served and asked if I could have a hamburger and fries instead and they said no problem.

Well after both shows I went to I looked around I did not see one kid. I remember commenting to my girlfriend awesome show but I'm glad no kids were here, I don't think they could have handled that. She agreed as well.

[motleyfan]

I never said I don't like kids. I have restated several times and you people continue to ignore what I say, I said I don't like crying whining kids. Anyways that is an off topic question let's see if you get suspended for it.

[PartyOwl]

Sorry I'm new on the forums, but why would they get suspended?

[broadwaycam]

I have a 5:15 reservation for this show on my upcoming February cruise. Is 5:15 the time the show starts or is it the time they start seating people? I am a little confused.

[duchesslt]

Mine also says 5:15 - not a time of day i would be tempted to eat prawns and short rib so we made a main dining reservation for 730 pm after the show.

Hi All,

We are going on our first seven day cruise in January. What excursions, restaurants and shows should we pre-book? Please feel free to offer recommendations for us newbies.

What is the name of the dinner show?

Thanks.

I am a second time cruiser, first week long cruise. My cruise consultant suggested I book all the restaurants in advance since I am not the most go with the flow person and wouldn't be happy waiting in line for dinner spots.

 

I booked 1 dinner show - For the Record. It is apparently about the John Hughes movies of the 80s (Ferris, Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club, etc.). I booked 2 free shows - Million Dollar Quartet and After Midnight.

 

For excursions, I so far booked radical rides adventure in Tortola to take my son on a slower version of a jet ski. I am going to book a beach tour in St. Thomas - not sure which. There is not enough time on Nassau to go to Atlantis water park so I'm on the fence over what to do - Bahamas has become crime infested - record murder year, travel warning issued - and I may just spend the day on the ship.
