BillHoo Posted March 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2017 If you had to pick one show to watch on the cruise, would it be "We Will Rock You" or "The Gift"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyitsmema Posted March 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2017 If you had to pick one show to watch on the cruise, would it be "We Will Rock You" or "The Gift"? I would go with We Will Rock You over The Gift any day. It is almost two hours long, but it is worth it. Stay for the encore or you will miss the best song of the show. We have seen it twice now. Saw The Gift once and didn't waste our time going to it on this last cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenfever Posted March 10, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 10, 2017 We saw both and would definitely go back to see We Will Rock You. The music from Queen was wonderful as were the performers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musikus1704 Posted March 10, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 10, 2017 "We will rock you" is a fantastic musical. I saw it in London and Germany and twice last year on the Anthem ots. We also saw the Gift, the musical was much better and the music of Queen ist fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted March 10, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Are you on a five night cruise? Then I agree, WWRY. If you are on a 7 night or longer cruise, BOTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighlandBoy Posted March 10, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 10, 2017 We missed The Gift but did go to see We Will Rock You it is great. We seen it in the West End in London and it was every bit as good and even had some of the same cast members in the show on Anthem. Would go and see it again with out a doubt and as said previously stay for the encore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelblu Posted March 10, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 10, 2017 If you had to pick one show to watch on the cruise, would it be "We Will Rock You" or "The Gift"? Neither. I wouldn't waste my time. Walked out on both. To this day, I still don't know what the "Gift" is/ was. I wasn't the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeannie333333 Posted March 10, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 10, 2017 another vote for We Will Rock You :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papcx Posted March 10, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'm a massive, massive Queen fan and I enjoyed WWRY (even with 3 technical interruptions) However, I'd go and see The Gift again. Pay attention to the narration at the start, it lays the groundwork for the whole show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillyd42 Posted March 10, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 10, 2017 WWRY every time, already watched it twice on Anthem and twice in Edinburgh- love the music and great casting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani negreanu Posted March 10, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'm a Queen music fan, enjoyed it very much. I've enjoyed the Gift too, the story didn't matter to me -- the music, the costumes and the scenery were in themselves a delight. 1) WWRY 2) the Gift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riff Sniff Posted March 10, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Another vote for WWRY. We didn't get to see The Gift on our sailing - cancelled due to technical issues, and then rescheduled at a time that we couldn't go.

Rare little britain Posted March 11, 2017 #14 Share Posted March 11, 2017 WWRY is great. The Gift is terrible. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Dancer Posted March 11, 2017 #15 Share Posted March 11, 2017 The Gift was dark, dreary and depressing. Who wants to feel that way on a cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awestover89 Posted March 11, 2017 #16 Share Posted March 11, 2017 WWRY definitely worth it at least once, The Gift I really didn't like at all personally Sent from my Nexus 6P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenquixote66 Posted March 11, 2017 #20 Share Posted March 11, 2017 If you had to pick one show to watch on the cruise, would it be "We Will Rock You" or "The Gift"? We Will rock You .I am a HUGE QUEEN fan . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted March 11, 2017 #21 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Why choose one or the other? They were both excellent, in my opinion. As someone else mentioned, you need to pay very close attention during the opening moments of The Gift when the plot is explained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillHoo Posted March 13, 2017 Author #22 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Thanks to all! I'm on a 5 night cruise and might be tough to book both shows. Looks like We Will Rock You is the preferred show. If I can, I'll try to get The Gift and be sure to pay attention to the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnaK Posted May 15, 2017 #25 Share Posted May 15, 2017 btw. How long are these shows? We Will Rock You is long, like 2 hours. The Gift is about an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
