BA Crique Dreams and priority seating

[HBCcruiser]

Hi - I wanted to now if anyone else is facing/has faced this: At the 100 day mark to the second (Haven) when I went to book Cirque Dreams tickets online, there was only one fee option (see attachment). No priority seating option. Has anyone else had this problem? When I called the first NCL concierge told me that they were not offering priority seating. When I called today, the NCL concierge said that there was priority, but it was not available. What does that mean? Is there a possible large group onboard this cruise? Any insight from you wonderful CC folks?

since the booking just open today, wait a day or two. NCL online system can be slow to update and everything could of out of sync on their end.

When we did this show last year I payed reg price. When we boarded we spoke with the Concierge, he made plans for us to meet him 20 minutes prior to the show. He escorted us down and we were taken in ahead of the others and brought right up front and center. That is your priority seating, nothing special to book. Enjoy!

RN Cruiser1- thank you. Hopefully that will be the same for us.[emoji846]

Since the show changed, it seems they only have one level of pricing. That being said, even if they do have priority seating, you will be getting an excellent seat since you are in the Haven. The priority seating for the cirque show on BA was actually two small tables located on a stage BEHIND where the actual performance took place. Haven guests get seated right in the front row facing the circular stage area.

We just got off the BA on March 5th and went to the Cirque show. Stayed in a haven suite.

 

We inquired about paying the extra $ for the VIP seats and were told by the concierge to not purchase them.

 

We met the concierge about 40 mins before the show in the haven lounge and were escorted through a back way to the show. We were seated ahead of the other guests and in the front center seats.

 

As a previous poster stated, the VIP seats are 2 tables on an elevated platform but behind the stage. Although the stage is circular, most of the time the performers are facing forward.

 

In my opinion, we had the better seats.

 

Just a side note, did not enjoy the food. You may want to eat before or after the show at another venue.

Deefer- thank you for the info. I had heard that the food was not that great. Good suggestion!
