mscloyd Posted December 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Just sharing information here. I kept reading that you could pre-book entertainment at 90 days but it still wasn't available. I called NCL and was told that they stopped Pre-Booking during covid and have not resumed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been that way over a year since the restart in August 2021. With entertainment still being impacted by Covid, final show schedules are made shortly before each cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscloyd Posted December 30, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Wow I read through the boards quite a bit and had never read this which is why I shared it. I waited up until midnight on Christmas Day to book only to find it unavailable. My bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddlb Posted December 30, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I understand you can book your entertainment once you’re on board. What I am confused about is if you can use the NCL app that has already been downloaded to your device? Does the option to book change once you are onboard to allow you to book the entertainment or is there a different app that you use? Also, are you able to book the entertainment for your cabin and your relatives cabin at the same time or do they have to do it separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted December 30, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 30, 2022 yes it is the same ncl app. you will need to connect your device to the ship wifi network and then app will automatically unlock more features to book shows and other things onboard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsarealiens Posted December 30, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 30, 2022 my last few cruises you could NOT book/reserve entertainment period (main entertainment). It was all open seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was all open seating. Oh, this would be great. I waited in a very long line once to book shows on Breakaway. The ap wasn't working, neither were the touchscreens onboard. I don't mind waiting in line to get ON the ship, but once aboard I've got better things to do! 💕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare luv2kroooz Posted January 14, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Entertainment is in a state of being reimagined on NCL. They have terminated certain cast that performed in the headliners shows. There are likely more layoffs ahead. It has recently been reported by NCL that they are "transition(ing) from operating in a "relaunch" mode to a steadier state of operations." Their words, not mine! I suppose there is no need to pre-book entertainment that may never be offered. It could also lead to disgruntled passengers when their booked entertainment is subsequently cancelled.

franncos Posted January 14, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Transition(ing) from operating in a "relaunch" mode to a steadier state of operations." Their words, not mine! Does that mean pay more and get less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare luv2kroooz Posted January 14, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 14, 2023 It could mean pay more, get less. Actually, if they eliminate shows, it would be pay more, get nothing, Maybe the Broadway shows will return at some point with a general admission fee, say $20 or so. Priority seating for $50. Plus a 20% service charge, for our convenience. The entire cruise industry is being reinvented due to Corona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
