amurray88 Posted April 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I am going on Symphony on Sat 9th Apr (if Covid allows). I was so disappointed that there was no Hairspray so I emailed Royal Caribbean to say this has made a difference to our holiday. 3 days later I received an email saying please don't worry, Hairspray will be showing. Knowing what I've heard here I emailed them back and said are you sure? From what I've heard it's not on just now and won't be on for the foreseeable. Again, 3 days later I received a reply saying don't worry it'll be on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so disappointed that there was no Hairspray so I emailed Royal Caribbean to say this has made a difference to our holiday. My understanding is that it will be restarted at some point in May. There were cases of Covid among us the cast in the show and due to contractual requirements approved replacements had to be trained, etc. I feel sure they are working on the return of the show as quickly as they can. We will be onboard on 4/16, but as @Bikerstated, we will all know the situation in April when we arrive. 👍🏼 Edited April 3, 2022 by AlohaLivin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jean87510 Posted April 3, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I downloaded the movie and watched it in the Solarium on a sea day in February. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand being disappointed that a show you want to see may not happen but even if it was scheduled and a few of the performers took ill, they'd need to cancel it. What are you expecting RCI to do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBookHePays Posted April 3, 2022 #7 Share Posted April 3, 2022 It would be great if you could report back here and let us know if Hairspray was on. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad we're checking in early if you can only book once checked in If I recall correctly, on our recent sailings there have been only 2 showings of Flight on a single day (maybe 2?) very near the end of the cruise (beginning in Nov 21’, post shut-down) Edited April 4, 2022 by AlohaLivin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amurray88 Posted April 5, 2022 Author #12 Share Posted April 5, 2022 One night** apologies Many people saying cruise is now at 100% capacity so the highlight show (now that Hairspray is cancelled) is only available for ~50% of pax? Come on - RC advertise themselves as the place to go for entertainment. If you went to a wine bar would you not be miffed if they had little to no wine?

inforthethrill Posted April 9, 2022 #13 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Once someone gets comfy, can they confirm if Hairspray is playing again on Symphony? I sail on May 14th. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momto3girlsintheCarolinas Posted April 9, 2022 #15 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I am following this. We sail May 21. Our daughter was in a local production of Hairspray last summer, and I know she's love to see it on the ship. She's fifteen. So, if/when it's back, y'all be sure to let us know, please.

deliver42 Posted April 9, 2022 #16 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I just got off the Wonder, and what they're offering for shows almost makes me book Carnival for my next cruise. They're made on the cheap to me, and I wouldn't se any one again if it was available on another ship. BOO Royal. I'm Diamond so I know what Royal is capable of. Right now NCL is blowing Royal's doors off on entertainment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
