Does NCL offer Cirque Du Soleil at Sea on one of their ships ? MSC Cruises has managed to secure a partnership with Cirque Du Soleil like MGM Resorts International in Las Vegas. Cirque Du Soleil at Sea is currently on MSC Meraviglia and on MSC Bellissima & MSC Grandiosa in the near future.

 

They have "cirque dream and dinners" on most of the larger ships.

 

Not official Cirque Du Soleil but similar type show.

I have not found the site you list above to be reliable or accurate. I just Googled "cruise ship schedule for St. Thomas." First two sites that came up have the schedule and explain which dock the ship will be at. Didn't bother to review the other sites.

The asterisks are vinow dot com in case that link doesn't work.

 

Thanks a lot Linda!

 

Found these two sites also yesterday - but they are not looking that much into the future as I wanted to them... No problem - still 169 days left until our cruise. :loudcry:;)

You are right, the shows are not official Cirque Du Soleil. It is almost impossible to re-create a Cirque Du Soleil production show. Cirque Du Soleil is the largest theatrical producer in the world for a reason. The only show close to Cirque Du Soleil is Le Reve (Wynn Hotel & Casino) in Las Vegas. Le Reve was originally created by Franco Dragone, who directed Cirque Du Soleil shows for 13 years.

Day 7: Nassau

 

Good morning all! We arrived about 45min ago to a beautiful morning in Nassau. There are quite a few ships in port today. We have no plans to get off the ship today. Sitting here in the lounge having some tea and then off to ride the water slides. I also have not forgotten about doing a scope of the YC pool area so that is coming later as well.

This question is probably for frank808 or anyone that knows about the 14-day Seaside cruise. I guess the evening shows are repeated the following week. Is this correct? Or is there a chance that we will see 14 different nighttime entertainment shows?

Update on the height requirements for the slides. They said that it goes by height and not age. They admitted that the sign is confusing and they have tried to cover that up with no luck. So if you have a 5 year old that is 40 inches or taller, he or she is good to go.

Another update about the slides....I don't remember reading this on the CC boards before, but the slide boarding is not available anymore. A crew member told us that it was up and running for a few months and then people started getting stuck so they have since shut it down. They are trying to fix it but they have no set date as to when it will run again.

Shows will be repeated. We use the second week to enjoy lounges and other venues we missed the first week.

Exact same main theatre shows repeat each week. Check out the atrium as sometimes there are small "shows" there. More like previews of the theatre shows. Sometimes it was not on the schedule of activities. We just happened to watch it while walking the ship in the evening.

My son and i really wanted to do it. But the slide with tubes is still fun! Did you ride the double raft with your husband? That slide with the tubes and the brown slide were our favorites. They were way more fun than the zipline.

More thoughts on the slides:

Hubby said the 2 racer slides are comparable to the Prefect Storm slides on Harmony. He thinks the Champagne bowl slide on Harmony is still the best. The other slide with the inner tubes is almost exactly the same as the Aqua Duck on DCL. The only differences there are that this slide is darker and the final drop is steeper.

Thanks for the Arthur pic. It is not the same Maitr D from the Divina last fall.

In answer to some questions about the shows, the shows need to be universally understood due to the variety of languages passengers understand. Therefore there is seldom a comedian on MSC

Hubby's thoughts on how the zip line compares to OA class....he thought once was enough and that this zipline here on the Seaside was slightly better than OA class only because it goes further. He did mention though that he encounter the rudest staff member so far at the zipline. All other crew member, both within YC and outside YC, have been awesome!

We liked the oasis class lziplines better even though it is way shorter. The oasis ones are faster and "higher" than seaside. Higher meaning height from zipline to the deck underneath you. The seaside one is a nice ride across the pool deck but that walk up is pretty long.

Lol! I don't think my parents (who are watching my kids) would be too happy with that!

Yes, hubby's exact words were, "it was anti-climatic."

We did ride the double raft. That was the one that reminded me of the Aqua Duck on DCL. Hubby tried the other ones in his own. He also said the brown slide was surprisingly good.
