Rare mking8288 Posted March 6 #51 Share Posted March 6 Find it difficult to defend ... in not giving any kind of explanation on a last minute cancellation of a show (which, of course, isn't everyone's cup of favorite tea, latte, Starbucks, and/or drink of the day special ... but to others, it's part of the "promised" onboard live entertainment - game shows, to me, is different - feel free to disagree, not going to "debate" this, period) i.e. if the performer isn't feeling well, seas are rough, technical issues with the set/stage, etc. - or, to save money. Lingchi is going catch up ... maybe not, hopefully not and it is not the directions that one wish to see. You cannot market and sell your products or services by making more cuts, the message should be that of managing the costs. To not even attempt to come up with an excuse is just like, sticking the finger in the air. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sansroof Posted March 6 #52 Share Posted March 6 Every time this thread title pops up I think Donna Summer (RIP) returned from the dead and got into an altercation on the ship and was thrown off. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current live Prima sailing thread has confirmed the show is up this week. That being said, shows get cancelled all the time. Don’t make that the prime reason to select a sailing/boat.

I looked at it multiple times and talked to a rep and they didn't know why it was not available to book. Now it doesn't even show up as an option. They really aren’t PRE-BOOKING the headliner shows. Prima/Viva are set up to sign up for ticket embarkation day. 15 before show time they let standby in. Don’t sweat it, system works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were able to pre-book the Donna Summer show for our Prima cruise this past August. IIRC, I did it by phone. The early show was sold out for our first choice, actually our wedding anniversary, but I was able to pre-book the early show for another date.

UKstages Posted March 10 #64 Share Posted March 10 the absence of pre-booking options for "summer" is temporary. affected sailings going forward are those occurring from march 15, 2024 through june 13, 2024 (inclusive). NCL has offered no explanation. make of that what you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a sense they’re buttering us up for something Have a wonderful cruise and we trust you'll keep us posted on CC. We had "Donna" booked but it was cancelled / rescheduled last minute and we had to re-book onboard too ... someone in the cast wasn't able to perform and understudy not available. Options for us to see "Live" would disrupt our specialty dining time that was already not easy to secure, so we just "wing" it, joined the virtual queue on the day of ... got in with good seats and there was also a standby line. No-shows & empty seats 10-15 minutes prior to curtains up meant that you can get in to see it. Will be getting on & when you disembark in NY ... safe & happy sailing, have 2 cabins of CC'er doing B2B staying onward to cross the pond. Thanks & appreciate the update.

I'm on the transatlantic and hope the show will go on. Excellent production. I don't know if Kimberly Locke (from American Idol) is still the lead. Every rendition of Donna was really good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. BUT sometimes you are deciding between several options and the choice of entertainment will factor into which ship/line you will book. And if you decided on a particular ship and perhaps even paid more for it as opposed to other choices you considered, you might just be a teeny bit peeved. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
