Cirque seating on the Epic

[mapleleaves]

We (4 adults) have premium/balcony seating for the Cirque show next month on the Epic.

I've read that we should be in line 45 minutes prior to get good seating, but where is a good area to sit ?  balcony?

We have one shorty in the group (4'11")  if that makes a difference.   Also, one vegetarian in the group .. where and who do we advise of this ?

Thank you!

We didn't get to choose our seats, we were escorted to a table once the hostess had swiped our cards.

However, assuming you're in line reasonably early, ask the hostess to seat you in an area that's good for short people.  

Also, advise the server of the vegetarian in your party when s/he first appears.

As to where to sit it is all about personal preference. You get a different perspective from the balcony which is our favourite but our friends like the floor. No such thing as what is best.

We were also escorted to our seats and didn't get to pick the specific ones we sat in.  However, we were near the front of the line, and we nicely asked if we could be seated in the upper balcony and they took us up there.  They were filling in the balcony seating chair by chair, being sure to fill in all the seats as they moved down the line.  We liked the balcony.  However, thinking back, I think a shorter person might be see better on the main floor.  There is a clear glass panel in front of you that has to be looked through or over.  I was tall enough to look over it.  But a shorter person probably would not be.  Some might find that a nuisance, I suppose.

Like others have stated we did not get to choose our seats, but were escorted there. I will say this, that we were on the first floor and these were supposed to be good seats, but there was an overhead blocking our view of the stunts done higher up.

Thanks everyone !  Sounds like the main floor will be a good place for our shorty, but not so far back that the overhead is blocking our view of the aerial performances.  Guess the key is to get there early enough to choose.

Thx again.

One person should be in line at least one hour before showtime. Your entire party needs to be in line at least 30 minutes before showtime. Doors open 30 minutes before showtime and dinner service starts shortly after.You were seated by the hostess, so you don’t get a choice of where you sit. Haven guests are seated through a side door prior to general seating. So even if you’re the first person in line, you will not get the best seats.

We were on Epic in July. We paid for VIP floor as it was all they had left and we were right in front of the show.

Then why spend the extra money for the balcony seats?

[buddylover]

We thought main floor towards the middle/front was best for unobstructed, clear view of all aerial and floor acts.  If you are seated at the back of the main floor, the overhead balcony obstructs the higher aerial acts.

You need a balcony to get the body aroma, fantastic show, food is steak I think
