SHOWS ON ANTHEM OF THE SEAS

[vadersprincess12]

Hello ~ for any recent cruisers on the Anthem of the Seas, do you still have to make reservations for the theater shows?  Not seeing anything on line but the Spectra's Cabaret show which we saw on a previous sailing and didn't care for.

 

Thanks.

I also did not care for it

I loved the We will Rock you in main theatre.

 

As for reservations, each ship is rolling out onto the website for precruise booking.

But also, most of the shows there will be a stand by line and it is very easy to get in on the upper levels as well just at showtime.

No reservations required for WWRY. 

[mets123]

Only for Spectra.

[vadersprincess12]

Spectra doesn't require reservations.  That shows on the website right now but the other shows do not.

I was on the Dec 4th sailing and reservations for Spectra was required.  We enjoyed it but once was enough.  Music Hall had some real good entertainment, especially the Journey cover band.

I'm on the Anthem now. Reservations are required. Where are you getting your information from? It's wrong.

[Merion_Mom]

Spectra's Cabaret requires reservations because of the size of the venue, Two70.

Well, you could just wait and see if anything is available as a stand by or sneak in via the back door on deck 6.

Just off Anthem.

They allow people without reservations 10 minutes before show or later if there are spaces.

There's always that way.

[vadersprincess12]

Well, strangely enough I got an email yesterday to get ready for my cruise and make my reservations.  The only thing that shows is Spectra and says it doesn't need reservations.  The two other shows are not showing at all.

We have an upcoming cruise on Anthem in April.  Could you tell me what shows are playing now?  Is We Will Rock You still there?

The current sailing in the app should list all the shows.

We also were just off the Anthem and no matter how you want to spin it, you need reservations for Spectra. If not you will just take your chances with the others that followed your advice.

 

Ourselves, we weren't that impressed with Spectra and since we are a bit long in the tooth, we really weren't fans of We Will Rock You either. Add to that The Gift which we sort of dozed off during so all in all, we weren't that impressed with that part of the entertainment.

This was an 11 day cruise (January 2) but will give you an idea of shows.....

Thanks Len ~ we saw Spectra a few years ago and weren't impressed either so whether it's reservation or not, we won't be seeing it.  We will probably enjoy the rock show.  Not sure what the gift is about but if we don't like it we can leave.

 

DH and I were on a cruise last year where Cats was the show and soooo many people, including us, left after about 30 minutes.  I just don't know what all the hubbub was about that show ~ it was really boring!

mets123 ~ I'm getting the information from an email sent by Royal.

It's telling you it's complementary and on those days,. It's doesn't discuss reservations. Why do you doubt people who were actually on the ship and had to make reservations?

[vadersprincess12]

mets123 ~ I am doubting because you and others said reservations were required and their email to me shows it's complimentary. I think it's smarter to believe Royal ~ why is that so hard to understand?  You needn't bother to respond.

[mets07]

Hi, I am a different mets (mets07). It is complimentary (free), but on Anthem they still require reservations for it.  FYI, about 10 minutes before the show, they do start letting people in who do not have reservations as long as there is room. 

 

It is simply because the particular space/location of the event is limited. I was able to make a reservation prior to the cruise. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

I'm going on Anthem for a second time.  The only show that's available to reserve before you board is "Spectra's Cabaret".  The others will have to be reserved once you board.

[mets07]

We were on the January 2nd cruise on Anthem. The only show that required reservations was Spectra's. Just show up for the rest.....

Complimentary does not mean that you don't need reservations.  It means that there is no charge for it.

Then Royal needs to work on it's communications.  They send me an email telling me it's time to plan my trip and show this as complimentary but there is no where at all to make a reservation.  If they can't be made until we board it would nice if they would communicate that!
