Do you have to book the entertainment?

Just noticed a couple of shows on NCL Epic and says booking advisable. We don't usually know until the actual day what way our plans are going to be and whether we attend shows or not but this looks like we would need to pre-book? Any advice would be great. Thank you.

It's worth booking the main shows in the theatre and Cirque, but not essential.

 

If you don't book then you can join the standby line. I've never done it, but from comments on here, it seems that you will probably get in although the best seats will likely be taken.

 

There is other entertainment around, so you won't be totally shut out of you can't get into the theatre.

 

Personally, we usually book one or two things. That leaves most nights to fill as you please at the time.

The big shows on Epic won't play every night. They might be 2 shows a night for 2 different nights, for a total of 4 times. (This is because the theater is shared by more than one show.) That's another reason it is good to plan in advance. If everyone on the ship decided they all wanted to go to the early show the last night, obviously most would be left out.
