Beware: The $1.25-per-game fee soon adds up. You'll also find two money-grabbing video arcades: one on the way into Adventure Ocean (Deck 14) and one at the other end of the ship on Deck 15, which forms part of the teen area. For a calmer way to pass the time, head to the Workshop on Deck 14 for scrapbooking sessions and other crafting activities. Pool games (such as belly flop contests and "Who's the World's Sexiest Man?" competitions) are held throughout the cruise in the AquaTheater. On the Boardwalk, you'll find the carousel, a free old-time circus-style ride aimed at kids (though we saw plenty of adults having a go). Daytime trivia takes place in the Schooner Bar (Deck 6). The On Air Club on the Royal Promenade is a multipurpose venue that hosts various daytime activities, such as towel folding, napkin folding and bingo. You'll also find alcohol tastings and port shopping talks, during which staff try to send passengers to stores that have paid to be mentioned in said talks. It also hosts cooking demos during the day.ĭance classes take place in the middle of the Royal Promenade on Deck 5, led by a member of the Entertainment Team. It's home to Studio B, which includes an ice rink for ice skating during the day and evening ice shows (see below). Each of the major shows is performed two to four times per weeklong sailing. Note, too, that inclement weather means OceanAria could be canceled, as it was on our cruise.Īdjacent to the Amber Theater on Deck 4 is the Entertainment Zone. If you're turned away, you'll invariably get into the next one. Also know this: The first staging of each show is usually the most crowded. Reservation or not, get there early for the best seats, especially if you're sailing during high season. (The activities director told us that the number of no-shows typically hovers around 75 percent.) That said, come T-minus 10, standbys flood in because the majority of passengers with reservations don't show up. Doors open 45 minutes before showtime, and reservations vanish 35 minutes later, as ours did for the first "sold out" showing of OceanAria. Cruisers can prebook evening shows from 90 days until four days before the sail date, but only a certain number of spaces can be prebooked online the remaining "tickets" are for passengers who want to book once onboard via their cabin TVs or at the on-ship "box office." Reservations are free and do not include seating assignments - though suite passengers get preferred seating. "OceanAria," "Blue Planet," "Mamma Mia" and the comedy shows in Comedy Live (see below) require advance reservations passengers' scanable SeaPass cards serve as the tickets. Be warned: The front three rows are in the "splash zone"! It's a popular show, and it's usually standing room only (unless you're staying in an AquaTheater suite). The main event, "OceanAria," features acrobats who like to high-dive from the pair of 60-foot platforms, flip around on trampolines and twist each other into pretzels - all while telling a tale of ancient sea people. The AquaTheater (Deck 6, aft), with its 2,000 water nozzles, hydraulics-laden pool and detachable rope ladders, is the most ambitious performance space ever built at sea. In addition, there's always a rotating "Headliners" show one week it could be a tribute to Motown, another a tribute to the Beatles. ![]() The three-deck, 1,380-seat Amber Theater (Deck 4) offers multiple stagings of "Mamma Mia," the Broadway musical featuring music by ABBA (this replaces "Chicago"), and "Blue Planet," a Cirque du Soleil-style song-and-dance production in which the stage turns into a giant aquarium one second and a writhing human tree the next. There are two main theaters onboard - the indoor Amber Theater and outdoor AquaTheater. ![]()
