MotherofTrips Posted May 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I just have a question. When we saw the show in June you ate while the show was going on. Did that change? I thought I read that it did but I can't find the post now. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted May 12, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I just have a question. When we saw the show in June you ate while the show was going on. Did that change? I thought I read that it did but I can't find the post now. I read the same post. NCL changed the Breakaway show in March (see press release below). We'll be on the breakaway in a few weeks and have the Cirque booked. https://www.ncl.com/press-releases/norwegian-cruise-line-expands-cirque-dreams-and-dinner-entertainment-experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skittlebug83 Posted May 16, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Just off the Breakaway and we saw this the Saturday night. We had the early show time. Dinner started as soon as we came in at 515 and then the show started at 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginnyfyr Posted May 16, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 16, 2017 We attended the 5:15 show last Sunday and dinner was served before the performance. Well worth seeing - I thought dinner was great (hubby thought it was good) and the show itself was outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DebQ5 Posted May 16, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I think it's a great idea to serve dinner before the show! We found it distracting to interact with the wait staff while trying to watch the show, and at times the staff was part of the show! I'm sure this is a much better experience!

Ginnyfyr Posted May 16, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 16, 2017 The starter was a salad with prosciutto, mozzarella cheese and tomato over greens. The main course was surf & turf (shrimp, not lobster) with potatoes and broccoli. Note that they did not ask anyone how they wanted their steak done so some people were quite displeased with what they received (I lucked out and mine was cooked to medium so it was still edible). Dessert was a sampler of red velvet cake, berries with cream and chocolate cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting that they specifically advertised "new menus" when this sounds *exactly* like the menu we had in December. Oh well, I enjoyed it once, I'm sure I will again!

Oh well, I enjoyed it once, I'm sure I will again! Perhaps they mean new in the sense that it's a new voyage each week? lol Hope you enjoy it as much the second time around!

marianneyaya Posted May 20, 2017 #12 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Did you book this show in advance or after you were on the ship? I'm sailing in August and it's not available to book yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginnyfyr Posted May 20, 2017 #15 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Did you book this show in advance or after you were on the ship? I'm sailing in August and it's not available to book yet. We booked ahead of time - we had the 3 specialty dinners package and used this as one of them. There was an $11 upcharge per person but that was removed once we upgraded to the Haven.

Ginnyfyr Posted May 20, 2017 #16 Share Posted May 20, 2017 is there only 1 set menu item? how about for the people that do not eat seafood or steak? The menu did say there was a vegetarian alternative meal but otherwise, surf & turf was the only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggertastic Posted May 21, 2017 #17 Share Posted May 21, 2017 We did it in April and was surprised we got the entire meal before the show. Previously you ate whilst watching. We found the show was cut down too so that the entire time in the show was the same. It was still good but found it worked better previously.
