There is a reserved area along the left side of the theater. We normally let the concierge help us bypass the line and then find our own seats front and center. There is no real benefit to the Havens seating unless you come in late and there are no other seats left. The seats will be filled by all of the standby guests 10 minutes before show (i.e. They are not blocked off like on the Jewel class ships)

i never sat in the haven section and didnt see the allure there. so why arent they front and center. or at least center? just doesnt make sense to me.

Only been on the BA 3 times but in the "big" theater twice - not seeing the same re-runs on a 3rd go-around.

 

Several rows reserved, middle & right side - about 1/2 way down - those coming in late get the "side" ones. Same seat width & pitch, LOL - think airline coach configuration (horrible back support, IMHO :eek: :D )

 

Being somewhat in the middle, I supposed - made it easier to exit and/or leave at the end of the show/performance as the herd would be in front of you, slower making their ways up the stairs to the exit ...

 

Sitting upfront in the first 5 to 10 rows ... they could (I guess) escort the group out via the fire exits on the side, up the secret passage but it would still be a long walk & merge with all the foot traffic coming out into the theater lobby.

to me , they should have a quick exit path and reserved elevator for haven. otherwise you are just like the common man fighting for one after the show

Perhaps they could do special showings inside the Haven for all the Haven guests so you could avoid having to mix and fight with the common man to leave the theatre.

that would be great. less people getting up to go to the bathroom and stuff too. maybe could have a sit down with the actors and gets some food service too. nice back massage during the show would be great too. heck maybe even drink service with robots mixing drinks.

I don't think your plan is elitist enough. I highly suggest you consider revising your plans to the point where either:

 

1) all the non-Haven hoi polloi are confined to decks 3 and 4, or maybe just build one giant open space that is below the water line; or

 

2) all of those unwashed non-Haven dregs of society must jump overboard and swim. Hope they can keep up.

What it is most important is that in the event of an emergency, like hitting an iceberg, the Haven guests are evacuated first!

They open all of the Havens seats to the late comers just before ahow tine. No way to differentiate the elite from the commoners.

That's where the Haven seating was on Escape. They aren't great seats. They were about mid-way up on the left side. I actually found it a little confusing why early Haven arrivals chose to sit there when there were so many better seats still open.
