Two Shows Nightly?

[Mahogany]

Does Seabourn still have two shows nightly? I spoke with an entertainer on a recent Regent cruise who says he doesn't like working on Seabourn since he's viewing an almost empty theatre during the second show (I don't know if he gets paid more for two shows). Oceania, Regent and Silversea, I think, all have just one show per night, usually 9:30 or 9:45. If the second show has such low participation, why does Seabourn continue?

I only remember one per night. However, I don't go to them so can't guarantee this.

One show nightly on Odyssey class. Two on the larger ships.

Must be a neat trick to make the 7:45 show with the Restaurant opening at 7. Perhaps they offer the main course and dessert to go? :confused:

If you go to the 7:45 show you'll probably dine afterwards, probably 8:30 or so,

So the shows are only 30-40 minutes long?

I've seen people have dinner at TK grill or Sushi and be out comfortably by 7.30pm

If it didn't work then Seabourn wouldn't schedule it that way

6.00pm start is possible for those venues

We have sailed on both Encore and Ovation and the first show was at 8pm. The show was usually close to an hour long. The main dining room opened at 6pm.

I was on the Ovation May 26 to June 9, 2018. The Main Dining Room opened at 6:45 p.m. for dinner. I know because I had dinner every evening in the Main Dining Room and I kept copies of all the daily Heralds.

All of the first showtimes were 8:45 p.m. and I managed to make all of them, although a few times, when dinner service was slow, I excused myself from the table (I'm a solo traveler and was at a hosted table every evening), hurried up the stairs, and let Handre escort me to a seat.

Some people just never give up:loudcry::loudcry:

We boarded the Ovation right after you disembarked plane7C and evidently the schedule changed slightly for the next voyage.

I suppose I would then have to call dinner a late lunch!

Honestly have no idea what you're on about here.

Sounds more like Crystal. On a Panama Canal cruise a coouokf of years ago second shows were lightly attended most of the time. Some tacky performers complained during their acts, as if complaining to those that had shown up would persuade others to attend.

We have sailed on the Encore three times, and on the maiden Ovation extended voyage. We never miss the show, as my husband loves live entertainment. We usually go to the late show after dining on a hosted or shared table, and the theatre is nearly always pretty full, so I assumed that the early show must be less well attended. Occasionally we will go to the early show if we have dined at the Sushi Bar or Earth and Ocean early, and just the two of us.

secoma4, We always go to the early show and it is well attended.

... and so do we. The early shows we went to were also well attended.

[buchhalm]

Qest in July had mostly one show only, and quite late at 9.45 or so.

Once or twice they had an at 6.30. Way too early and very few in the audience. Real shame

I think it is best to make a distinction between the Encore/Ovation class ships and the Odyssey class ships. As I understand it on the larger ships the same show is performed twice in the evening. Whereas on the smaller ships there is a show most evenings at 9:45. And on some evenings at 6:30 there is a different show or a lecture.

And changed it again later. For the past two weeks on Encore the MDR and colonnade open at 1845, TK at 1800, pool grill at 1900 and the evenings there have been shows they’ve been 2045 and 2200. Lectures and talks have most often been at 1800 and most shows and talks have been 45 minutes or a little longer.

 

Going to a talk, then dinner then the early show hasn’t been a problem but we often skip dessert anyway which might mean our meals are a little faster.

Useful info thanks. What time does the MDR finish seating on the Encore / Ovation?
