bonvoyagie Posted October 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2018 We are planning our first long cruise - the Panama Canal on the Gem in 2020. It is a full 21 day cruise from San Francisco to New York. We were wondering if they have different shows each night or are they repeated. Also the dining room menus - do they change or do they repeat. Our last cruise was technically a b2b Canada and New England - Boston to Quebec and back to Boston in 14 days. The shows were the same each week as were the dining room menus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Clay Clayton Posted October 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 18, 2018 This info is a little dated so take it with a grain of salt, but when we did our 19 day Tampa yo Vancouver cruise, Norwegian was on a 14 day menu rotation so we only had menus that repeated on the last few days. Mad I recall the shows did not repeat although the cast was generally the same. That memory is fuzzier than the one about food. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted October 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I haven't seen any info on the new menus for Jewel thread, but as Clay said, we've seen menus on BTS tours be 14 options and I want to say on one of the last trips down to 11 or 12.

Markanddonna Posted October 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I have been on several longer cruises on NCL and RCL. They never repeated entertainment but used the performers in different ways. The ship entertainers put on a more innovative show, two or three headliners might join up for a show, but in general they worked hard to mix it up. Sometimes they would bring on a group of locals for a cultural show. These were our favorites. The ships have a two week rotation so you will see menus again. RCL did a better job with programming. Last fall on a 22 day transpacific, three separate lecturers were onboard. They were all interesting. RCL also brings a couple onboard who give dance lessons. Great! NCL had no lecturers and had staff give dance lessons- vastly inferior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
