Question about Evening Shows

[mom 2 my boys]

My friend heard that if you have early seating you watch the show after dinner. Which is normal for all cruise lines.

 

Although, if you have late seating your show time is BEFORE dinner?! I hope this isn't true!!! Please tell me she heard wrong lol

 

One of the reasons we enjoy late seating for dinner is so we can relax and not feel rushed to get ready for dinner.

 

Thanks

Yes on all the cruises I've been on.

Late seating eats before the show. Your friend is correct.

Ok, so this means the show is AFTER dinner correct?! I'm confused now lol

 

I've been on over 40 cruises and never had a show before dinner. Except the captains cocktail reception.

OMG!! I am so sorry for writing such a stupid post. What I meant to say is that you friend is correct. MSC does the shows backward from other companies. If you have late seating you will see the show before dinner. The shows are shorter than the typical cruise show, and the dinners are longer than the typical cruise line.

 

An example

 

Early dinner sees 8:30 show

 

Late dinner sees the 7:00 show

 

Times do vary a bit, but they are close to what I have posted. Again, my apologies. I try to be helpful and my first post on this thread was anything but :::embarrassed::::

[emoji4]...it is weird but I got used to it. MSC is more subdued at night than other lines, so i just adjusted the schedule and enjoyed the sunrises :).

That is the way it is on every cruise line.

I've never heard of it this way and have been on every cruise line lol

 

The show is always at 10pm after dinner (for late seating). I've never heard of the show before dinner. This is going to be awkward

Yes! I agree, very weird! I guess we will have to get used to it for the week or just skip the shows. We enjoy the evening shows and might just go and see how they are.

Op - I thought the same as you seeing the show before dinner. I always have late dindinner and prefer the show after. The nice thing was not having to rush through get dinner to get good seats which was always the case with other lines. The shows were amazing, wouldn't recommend skipping them You'll have time after the show and before dinner to go back to your cabin. If you're worried about not having anything to do after dinner, there were nightly events in the black and white lounge which were great.

Can't be done any other way really. We prefer freedom type dining, eat when you want to. Never eat at the same time every day at home.....

Ok thanks!!! I guess we will have to get used to that! Is there a disco open at night for dancing?

Yes, the disco was open at night to fairly late. Went a couple of times, few people there. It's located away from most of the venues.

If you on late sitting you see show before dinner. It's on any cruise line. Late sitting 8:30 in order to have show after it should start 10:30 -11:00 . I never saw this.
