Not always, but it takes a dry dock to change it.

So far there have only been 3 ships with Broadway shows that have undergone a drydock. 

 

Both Allure and a Oasis had their Broadway shows changed during their last drydock 

 

Liberty kept her Broadway show however she made a major change to her deployment moving full time to Galveston

It's speculation at this point, but here is a line from a Royal press release that I think has a clue:

 

• Oasis Class – Oasis of the Seas will be completely reimagined in fall 2019, ten years after her revolutionary debut. The ship will gain new thrills, pools, bars and culinary creations, as well as introduce new restaurants and onboard adventures found on the newest Oasis Class ship, Symphony of the Seas. These enhancements will cascade to Allure of the Seas in spring 2020, making every ship in the class more adventurous than ever.

  I'm personally hoping for Bionic Bar replacing Champagne Bar but I think that one is 50/50 IMO.  Very unlikely to be changes to cabins.  

 

I like the Champagne Bar but think it can be improved.  An ice top like Celebrity S class and some mixologist with creative drinks and entertainment would be ideal.  

 

Some of the furniture around the ship needs to be replaced.  Hopefully, this is done.

I'd be disappointed to see the Champagne Bar go.  I can also see them adding more staterooms.

 

It's a beautiful space Bob, but on our sailing I don't think I ever saw anyone in it.

Thanks.  So most likely then that the shows will remain.

There has to be some broom closets around that they can make into staterooms.

I heard that they are going to cut down on the number of public restrooms and put staterooms in instead😇

Either that, or change them into pay restrooms.

No, just the opposite.  Based on what they have done in the past with Oasis class ships  I would say that the shows change

Or make them D+ and up members only. 😉

I would love to see Wonderland added during dry dock.

I agree! I might be in the minority but I prefer Giovanni's to Jamie's. As one of the crew members that I have become friends with calls it Jamie's NOT SO Italian. LOL

+1.  I definitely prefer Giovanni's To Jamies and I preferred Portofino's to Giovanni's.  IMO they have gotten progressively worse over the years !

I am relatively new to cruising so  I never got to enjoy Portofino's.

No Rita on Oasis, been Sabor for years.

There never was a Rita's on Oasis, was there ?  Wasn't it originally the Crab Shack and then they turned it into Sabor ?  Personally, I hope they do the Playmaker's thing.  I think Sabor on the O class ships is awful....and since they've removed Queso Fundido from the sit-down Sabor restaurant menu, even the sit-down version is dead to me.

I agree.  I have always loved the Champagne Bar.  I am not so fond of the R Bar replacement on some ships

Agree!  We booked for feb 2020, and it is from Miami

We're booked on O in Dec 2020 and it's from FLL.  She's definitely moving around a lot !

They'll probably put Hairspray on O.  They must be getting that one for free.

Hairspray was the original Broadway show on Oasis. It was replaced with Cats during the last drydock. Then they revived Hairspray on Symphony. Chicago was originally on Allure so maybe they will revive that show for Oasis

Sorry don't recall.  Our first O Class was Allure, it had Sabor.  Did not sail Oasis until after drydock.

Isn't Hairspray on Symphony?

 

Slightly off topic, but how is the ice show working on Mariner.  Seems to be difficult to allow everyone to see it in 2 1/2 days.

Oasis originally had Crab Shack while Allure had Rita's Mexican Cafe.

 

Both were swapped out for Sabor after their respective dry-dock.  Originally Sabor was ala-carte but now pay one price like any other specialty restaurant.

That would only last a few years until Royal kicked out the D+ members.

Yes, Hairspray is on Symphony now - that's what my post that you quoted says

Agreed. That's typically one of my favorite venues to frequent.

About to sail on Oasis for New Years and after reading the reviews for "Cats" I believe asking if they will change out the broadway show during drydock is wishful thinking.
