Epic. When do they change the shows

[Trickster999]

On our recent cruise, I thought the main shows in the theatre were great (as we're all the other ones in the smaller venues)

We'd like to sail on her again, but wondered when new productions were likely to be produced

Thanks

The shows generally stay around for many, many years, because it costs a lot to buy and produce a new show.

 

On the Epic, Priscilla is only about a year old at this point, so I don't expect it to be changed for a good long while.

[Trickster999]

Yes we were on the epic.

Having a low boredom threshold if Priscilla and burn the Floor were still on, it would stop me booking, because while they were both fab, I wouldn't want to see them again so soon.

 

Btw I didn't know you could edit a post. How do you do that please?

I think the reason I've not noticed the edit button before is because it seems to be only available for a short while, then vanishes

Don't do it the way I did it… :D

 

You have a 20-minute window to edit your post, after that the Edit button disappears.

 

I can understand wanting to see different shows. So the easy solution in your case is to book a different ship! But if you cruise NCL regularly, chances are you will end up repeating something (same ship, same ports, same shows, etc.) And of course whenever NCL changes something, there will always be someone there to complain that big bad FDR just took away something that they liked…

 

At least for the megaships, you know what the big shows are going to be. On the older ships, you don't really know anything about the production shows until you get on board (unless you find recent info from other cruises).

If memory serves me correctly the Blue Man Group was there for five years.

[ECCruise]

Shows on NCL generally (there are exceptions) have a life-span of 5-8 years, so if you tend to sail the same ship frequently you will see the same shows a lot.

[hawkeyetlse]

Even if you change ships, you will soon become familiar with fleetwide [minus the megaships] production shows like "Elements" and "Band on the Run". Sometimes it seems like even the guests acts are following us from ship to ship! :)

Who or what is FDR?

[ashleyriley]

So the current shows on Epic are Priscilla and Burn the Floor? What ship has Million Dollar Quartet?

Think I just answered my own question, MDQ is on Getaway if another post has correct info?
