Rare Eglesbrech Posted March 19, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I am looking forward to a show at the Limelight but what is the current situation re seating please? Is your table allocated anyway or should we go early to get a decent seat (we booked it early so hope it is the former if it is based on booking date) I read different information on a post late last year about this, can anyone who has been onboard recently advice what the current practice is.

stocktonmackem Posted March 19, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Last year it was pre allocated seats. I went to check a couple of days before because my hubby is in a wheelchair and I wanted to make sure we could get to the table. I was shown the table they were going to give us. When we turned up on the night the Maitre d' decided to put us in a better place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisg1uk Posted March 19, 2019 #7 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Tables were allocated 2 months ago. Didn't stop a queue forming 40 mins before kick off (as we were heading towards the bar) but a lot of people on cruises have to try to always be first.

Todd the cavachon Posted March 19, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I pre-booked last year on the day the shows became available. we had the best seats. we enjoyed the evening so much we booked another night whilst on board and although the seats were fine definitely not as good. I would always pre-book as early as possible if we are on Britannia again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Caravan 37 Posted March 19, 2019 #9 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I didn’t book my table until a week ago for 7 April sailing so judging by replies I’ve seen so far I’ll be behind a pillar! I’ll let you know 🥴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molecrochip Posted March 19, 2019 #10 Share Posted March 19, 2019 The seating in the Limelight club is fairly good from all angles. Seats are allocated when you book but you are not given a table number. If its a quiet night, and you go ask in advance, they will move you to any spare table. They will even show you the tables available first. Yes, a queue forms early to get in. We stroll in about 30 seconds before the time you are requested to attend. The attendance time is not show start time. Its the calculated time so they can take your drinks orders and get the meal started before the on stage time agreed with the act. When we were in the Caribbean in February 2018, as we walked past the forward staircase on our way to the venue, the act was sat on the stairs chatting on his mobile & only semi clad! he cant of appeared on stage for another 30+ minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanexile81 Posted March 19, 2019 #11 Share Posted March 19, 2019 We went to the Limelight three times and booked the day that bookings opened so we had front row seats in the centre every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clodia Posted March 20, 2019 #12 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Booked my table for 7th April cruise 6 weeks ago. I will turn up 5 minutes ahead of designated time. I WILL NOT queue, especially at a pay venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gymbod Posted March 20, 2019 #13 Share Posted March 20, 2019 We went twice in December, booked pre cruise for one and had seats in front row, booked on board for the other night and had seats in middle, still good, imo👍🏼 we were told by one of the waiters that we became friendly with that seats are allocated in advance and you get the better ones the earlier you book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a queue at entry but the tables had been allocated, and we were on the front row, seemingly because we had booked early. Incidentally because the demand for Gareth Gates was high the price had increased from £25 to £35 on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
