hrmkr Posted December 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 21, 2023 We are sailing on the Equinox in a few months., First time on Celebrity. We have sailed on Carnival, NCL and Royal. I wanted to see if someone that has recently been on the Equinox can tell me about the night entertainment that is offered. For example, what was the Broadway type show offered (if any) and how was it. Are there comedians, magicians, etc. What type of music is available to go listen to? Anything else that is offered primarily after dinner. I know every cruise is different but does the ship die down in the evenings? Thanks for your input.

Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted December 21, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 21, 2023 You're going to have a 45ish minute-long main show at 7pm and it repeats at 9pm. One night should be a comedian which may or may not add a 1015pm rated-x show and one night should be a magician. All other shows are going to be all musicals, this includes Broadway-style shows, concert-style shows, a show with aerialists, etc At 8pm there'll be a passenger participation game show; often an officer or two join in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare markeb Posted December 21, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) There are no “Broadway type shows”. There are two primary production shows that are a mix of music and aerobatics. There are typically comedians and other musical performers. The ship has several venues with live music. Expect a rock band (sort of), a string duet or trio, and a couple of wild cards. Sets are 45 minutes, which is kind of choppy when they’re good. There will probably be a silent disco (more fun than you might think) and a DJ. The grand foyer will go until about 11:00, then things will shift upstairs. Any given night will be different, as will any given cruise.

Rare markeb Posted December 21, 2023 #4 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Nuts and I have different opinions on Broadway type, but I won’t disagree with the general statements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our cruise there was a DJ outside the Martini Bar one floor up, so the grand foyer and martini bar spill into each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One night should be a comedian which may or may not add a 1015pm rated-x show I would say "adult" show. Hardly "x rated". Most of the adult comedy shows wind up being tamer than the average comedian you might see at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends on the house band. The last couple of house bands were guitar rock/keyboard, mostly 70's/80's. Although I remember this group doing some current pop as well (I think Taylor Swift, maybe Beyonce, but a lot of Eagles, some Foo Fighters, etc.). There was also a string duo (guitar and violin) that were very good, but they were usually earlier in the evening. On our cruise in 2022 the house band was from Mexico and they did a Latino themed night that was incredibly popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
