Is the Tropicana Show worth it?

It's a little pricey, but I'm willing to pay if it's worth it. The excursion appears to run from 8:00 pm to midnight which seems like a LONG show. Any input is much appreciated.

If you are using ships tour it is pricey We had a great time go up to utube and search you will find the show We went on your own

I booked online (not thru the cruise line). Premium package was just about $200 for wife and I. Paid a taxi in a classic car 25 cuc to get there and 30 cuc to get back to cruise terminal to a normal taxi car that was right outside the Tropicana. We got there about 8 and it was too early. Waited outside for 30 minutes for them to start seating. However we had seats right at the stage at its center point. Out of sheer luck we had previously met the couple seated across from us so that was great. Pre show live music started about 9 and lasted about 40 minutes. They filled champagne glasses for us. Then brought a small coke for everyone. Ice bucket was already on the table. Then they brought the 4 of us an unopened bottle of 7 year old Havana Club rum. About an hour into the show they brought us another full bottle. Not sure why as the first one was well over half full. We brought it back unopened. The show it self was great. I would highly recommend it is simply iconic. Other drinks were nit expensive. Wife had a pi a colada for 7 cuc and fellow across from us had a Cuban beer for 5 cuc. Men are all given a cigar as they enter and ladies get a carnation. Show ended about 11:40 and we left kinda quickly and got a cab immediately on leaving. Was an evening to remember.

Were people allowed to smoke those cigars at the show?

Yes you can it is outside so it does not get smoky and not that many people seem to smoke them more of a souvenir

What are the non-alcoholic options at the show? As a recovering alcoholic I no longer drink. Unless I could bring the unopened bottle of rum back as a gift for someone else. Since I'm travelling on a cruise ship, however, it might mean a visit to the naughty room.....

They have cans of soda for sure. You could always smoke a cigar. On the bottle they give it to 4 people to split with ice and soda. Yes the ship will take it

Yes it’s worth it. Fantastic show. Blows away anything I’ve seen in Las Vegas.

There is none just book whet you want and they will send you a ticket by email

Does Tropicana have appetizers to snack on while you watch the show? What is good to order?

This is the site I used to get our tickets, an email from them is used for entrance.

They list nuts to snack on and a bottle of rum plus soda as included in the price of the ticket.

Did you get the Standard or the Plus ticket? How was the seating for the ticket you got? Can I bring a stainless steel mug with ice? Did you pay in advance with a credit card?

My wife and I bought the premium tickets ($95pp). Bought them online with credit card in advance...no issues. We both got cigars (I guess they ran out of carnations) and one bottle of premium rum (I think it was Havana Club Especial) for every 2 people. Highly Recommended. The show far exceeded our expectations. There is a bucket of ice on every table (we had no issues drinking ice in Cuba, but if you wanted to bring your own I can't imagine that they would care).

We booked those tickets also. What time did you get there to have that table?

How long was the cab ride?

How far from the port is the show?
