Scubadoc Posted July 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2023 On the Allure in a suite in September. — Does anyone know what night Mamma Mia is performed? And it’s the full show right? Like two hours? My wife wants to see it so I want to plan around it. — Is it hard to get a cabana on this ship? I had to get up pretty early on Harmony to get one, but we enjoyed them. — Do they open the tennis courts for pickle ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelGirlinDallas Posted July 28, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Mamma Mia is performed multiple times throughout. We reserved it for the first night. It is the full-length show, with intermission. We did see people playing pickle ball. The staff put up the nets at certain times and then took them down so that the basketball goals could be used.

firefly333 Posted July 28, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I remember mama mia at 7 pm, next night 8 pm, another afternoon toward the end. 3 times kne week, 4 the next. So not the same times 2 weeks in a row. Its 2.5 hours with a 15 minute intermission. A guy next to me broke it up into 2 pieces. Half at a time rather than sit so long. Its fabulous but it is long.

We were on Allure for Spring Break 2021 and again in 2022. They offered one additional evening of the show in 2021 than they did in 2022. The matinee in 2021 was on a sea day and the matinee in 2022 was during the port day in Cozumel, which I found very strange. The days and times changed from 2021 to 2022 so the only advice I can really give is to maybe see if you can get an idea from the app in a similar sailing that is earlier than yours, and then stalk the reservation page at the beginning of the month, the month prior to your cruise, to see the exact days and times. I don't even remember there being Cabanas by the pool on Allure so no clue about that. They DO open the tennis courts for pickleball, usually every morning from 8-11am-ish (some variations on some days). I remember this past April, pickleball was available on embarkation day.

molly361 Posted July 28, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Are you talking about the cabana type things on the suite sun deck? Don't remember if I have ever been on the suite sun deck on Allure but I have on other ships and just like chair hogs I have always seen people's stuff on them early but no people.

villager70 Posted July 30, 2023 #6 Share Posted July 30, 2023 JUst a little info on Mamma Mia. Have seen it many times since the start . Near the end many people get up and start out and they miss the best of the performance. They come out like the final goodbye and then say "Do you want more/" and they go into around ten minutes of non stop dancing and singing. We have five booked on Allure starting Oct 25th in Cananveral so don't know yet what they will do o on tmes for 3 & 4 day. Bob & Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tt513 Posted August 5, 2023 #7 Share Posted August 5, 2023 For the September 17 sailing, you can reserve Mamma Mia for days 1,3 and a 2:00 matinee on day 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BecciBoo Posted August 5, 2023 #9 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I've reserved shows but can't figure out how to reserve the restaurants on our dining package without them charging my CC? Any clues or is it just a mad dash to a venue on boarding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never bought one but most people recommend going to a dining venue and getting that done 1st thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash to a venue, all package reservations can only be made after boarding.I would say head to Izumi and make all your reservations, the other specialty restaurants would have long lines on boarding day. We have passed large groups waiting in line at 150 or Chop's and then gone to Izumi with no one there. If you are stuck and waiting to board sometimes you can make reservations via the app when in the terminal.

Makes it much easier when you walk up to a venue to book onboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
