wacruiselover Posted October 5, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I'm guessing it is just a typical NCL computer glitch but Jersey Boys has disappeared from our entertainment choices on our upcoming cruise. It was there last week and was one of the reasons we booked on the Bliss again. We saw the show in 2019 cruise and loved it. NCL has lost things due to computer errors before so I'm not getting too excited. Prior to our 09/04/21 cruise they lost Tuesday. Not just the events (Glacier Bay) but the entire day. When I contacted NCL the agent said "if it's not on the itinerary it's not happening." As I expected, we did have a Tuesday after all. Sadly, Choir of Man and Company Men were cancelled while on the cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellbelle28 Posted October 5, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) We are on the 10/24/2021 sailing of the Bliss and Jersey Boys disappeared from the entertainment listings a couple of weeks ago (disappointed but not surprised, the entertainers seem to be the most difficult for the cruise lines to manage with COVID quarantines). We are assuming that they haven't been able to assemble and rehearse a cast for it yet. On our sailing I will be very surprised if they have it up and running, but by April 2022, it could be back. They've probably just removed it globally until they have it ready to go. Edited October 5, 2021 by Shellbelle28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAYKAY121 Posted October 5, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Gone from 12/26/21 sailing too. It was the only show I cared about. Guess we will see Six now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't seen it yet, don't be too down on having that as your only show option, I found it quite good (so have many others)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galliegirlie Posted October 5, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I’m sailing on Bliss 11/7/21, and only Six and Happy Hour Prohibition Musical are listed as entertainment options. But neither is available for pre-booking at this time. Is that normal, or should we expect that pre-booking will be an option before sailing?

Jersey Boys seems to be cancelled since it no longer appears on the available entertainment. Let's see which show they do include if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillygwm Posted October 29, 2021 #9 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I don't believe it's outright cancelled. The NCL Embark videos indirectly addressed this: Bigger productions just take longer to resume. Six has less than half the cast of JB so that was the first to go live. I read somewhere (thirdhand info so FWIW) that JB will be up by late November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hutcha Posted November 18, 2021 #10 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Coming into late November, and still nothing. I hope this changes soon. The shows are a major reason that people book particular ships, some traveling across country (me for a 2/27/22 sailing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KateQ22003 Posted November 18, 2021 #11 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I saw Jersey Boys on the Bliss in February, 2020 - it was outstanding. Every bit as good as the Broadway version I had seen. I hope you get the opportunity to see it. We didn't think much of Six, but I know lots of people enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trivimp Posted November 18, 2021 #12 Share Posted November 18, 2021 It'll be disappointing if we don't get to see Jersey Boys, but, it's not going to make or break the cruise for us. Shows can get cancelled for all kinds of reasons, we'll find something else to do that evening. Especially on a ship as large as the Bliss, there's always half a dozen things going on somewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw SIX on the Breakaway last month. Enjoyed it so much we went back the next night. Wished we could have seen it a third time. 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbits_stole_my_Precious Posted November 18, 2021 #14 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Just got off the Bliss this past Sunday (11/14/2021). Announcement was made early in week that Jersey Boys "would" be playing later in the week. Made rez to see them in Bliss Theater, then at dinner on the night they were to open, an announcement was broadcast that one of the members had been in contact with someone w/covid19, and that the cast members affected had to quarantine - thus no Jersey Boys. The Beatles group who normally play in the Cavern Club substituted to a somewhat subdued crowd, altho for us this was just fine, since we could never seem to be able to get in the Cavern Club early enough to obtain a seat. Nice treat, but definitely NOT the Jersey Boys we were hoping for. The show SIX was good (i.e. fair to midland, really).... Singers are fantastic, story-line not so much, but enjoyable.

Sorry to hear that, it was a major disappointment. I'll be on the Bliss on Dec. 5th, keeping my fingers crossed that the quarantine when well and they would be able to present the Jersey Boys.

LaCal Posted November 19, 2021 #16 Share Posted November 19, 2021 A member of the Jersey boys tested positive on the last cruise and they canceled the show so the crew could quarantine On the current Bliss cruise some guests have posted that next weeks sailing 11/21 will include the Jersey Boys show again 😜 We’re on the 11/28 sailing and looking forward to seeing the Jersey Boys show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the crew member came down with Covid, so the cast was quarantined for 14 days. Great show, and you can book onboard only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
