Rare shof515 Posted September 29, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 29, 2023 This sucks. this is horrible entertainment. it more like a downgrade compare to the shows carnival is also going the game show route too with family feud 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoopie17 Posted September 29, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 29, 2023 That picture is from the Escape, with Jack, the Cruise Director as the "host". I'm hoping this won't be replacing Choir of Man, since we're back on the Escape next year and were hoping to see it again. But with NCL's penchant for cost-cutting (for our convenience), who knows...

Asawi Posted September 29, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 29, 2023 <sigh> Well, let's see the positive: One less night to get dinner schedule and entertainment to cooperate. 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggie311 Posted September 29, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I guess I’m the odd man out. I think this sounds fun. I’ll be checking it out in January. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OrcaGirl Posted September 29, 2023 #11 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Since this is being run through TimePlay, I hope they eventually upgrade to the TimePlay trivia offerings. We played it on the Celebrity Edge and it was soooo much better than the old school paper and pen trivia on NCL. (Granted, I'm biased because I *dominated* at TimePlay trivia, but still...) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any mention of dropping other shows in that press release. They announced in (I think) June that 7 of their broadway shows are closing, including Six & Footloose. But didn't say the fate of Choir of Man or the Donna Summer musical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PATRLR Posted September 29, 2023 #14 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Of course the audience participation will be at a cost, similar to Deal or No Deal, I assume. Nice move NCL, replace a free broadway show with a revenue generating game show. True to form, it's all about increasing that onboard spend (aka nickle and diming). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Choir of Man lead guy did say last week to the audience they were going to be in the States very soon starting in FL doing their show. So assuming they are not long for the Escape. I believe he said February but not certain. And planned on multiple cities across US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakcruiser Posted September 29, 2023 #19 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Get passengers to pay for their own entertainment. What a genius idea! And of course, most will. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare laudergayle Posted September 29, 2023 #24 Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) Here’s what I ask… “We are committed to providing our guests with quality entertainment across their cruise journey,” said Craig Steyn, vice president of onboard revenue operations of Norwegian Cruise Does the VP of Onboard Revenue typically handle the production shows and entertainment? Clearly this is an offering that NCL will have to generate revenue, like bingo and Deal or No Deal. I didn’t see anywhere in the release that said it was replacing nightly entertainment.

I don't see any mention of dropping other shows in that press release. I think it’s in addition to. Stage manager on the Bliss this past Spring said COM has a contract for a few more years! The only big theater show that is being replaced with something else is SIX and FOOTLOOSE from her information!
