Ruby Princess: 2024 Alaska - Production Shows

[CruiseMom88]

Hi,

 

For Ruby Princess (2024 Alaska) itineraries does anyone know the following?

 

1)  Name of Production Shows

2)  Day (eg. which day of 7 day cruise?  Example:  Day 2?  Day 4?)

3)  Times (eg. 7:30 pm & 9:30 pm?)

4)  How early to show up to get seats?  About 15 minutes early?  30 minutes early?

5)  Do these shows fill up and no more seats available?

 

Thanks.

30 to 45 minutes early for production shows. Single seats can be available closer to showtime. Production shows will fill up. Those with the premier fare package have a section of reserved seats for production shows. Those seats are held until 5 to 10 minutes before showtime and are then released.

This past March the production shows were:

Stardust, a 1/2 hour show of singing with old songs and nice harmonies.

Colors of the World, a 45 minute show with songs and dancing from around the world.

Magic to Do,  An hour long Broadway style musical based on illusions.

Doubtful the Ruby Princess will change production shows. You will probably have two of the three.

Thank for the info.  Wow!  Must plan accordingly if we wish to have seats.  Appreciate your help!

Just to add:

 

Day 1 was a comedian + magic show. Fairly decent.

Day 3 was a vocalist from Las Vegas with a very good voice. 

Day 7 was a farewell and musical talent show featuring some ship crew and guest performers.  Only one show. So get there early.

Colors of the World was also a pretty good show. 

 

You should be able to see the daily programs posted on Princess App before your boarding day.

We were on the Grand for 22-days on an Alaska B2B starting April 30. Check out my Live From thread below starting around page 4 to see the shows and other evening entertainment we went to. From what we could tell, as this was the start of the 2024 Alaska season, the production shows were all brand new and very enjoyable. However, as others have noted you need to get there 20-30 minutes early to get really good seats.

We have found that the early shows tend to fill up so we arrive at least 30 minutes in advance to get seats we want. The late shows tend to be less well attended as so many Princess cruises go to bed early.

 

We often get a drink to take with us to the theater and then read while waiting for the show to begin. If you get a seat near a railing that separates "levels" of the theater you can set your drink on the flat divider in front of you. You do sacrifice some leg room in that case as you can't stretch your feet out under the seat in front of you.
