Evening entertainment/shows on Explorer 2

[Wee Magoo]

As with our previous post re restaurants on Explorer 2 - can we use Explorer as a guide - 

As it's our first cruise we have no idea what the evening shows are like, so can anyone enlighten us as to what the shows are like in terms of quality, how many per night, type of show (musicals, themed nights etc), what are the show times & did/do you enjoy/recommend seeing them?

On Explorer there were two shows nightly one was on at around eight o clock and the other was on just after ten o clock. Quality of the shows was ok, The entertainment team need to understand that very loud does not mean that the quality of the shows will be better. Some productions were so loud people were walking out.

Drinks were available as you enter the theatre there were containers full of bottled beers on ice and tables laid out with popular cocktails,wines and soft drinks which you picked up as you passed to gain entry.  Waiters were also inside the venue.A much better system than other Marellla aships we have experienced.

The shows were at 8.30 and 10.15, it's the same show repeated so that everyone gets a chance to see it. The shows are music and dancing and are very good with different types of music each night. You need to go in a few minutes early to get seats. There is different entertainment in the other venues ranging from singers to Mr and Mrs type shows. There is also a cinema and a cinema on deck which us pleasant if the weather is nice. As you can see, something for everyone! We tend to try everything and then fall into a routine that suits us.  You will love it!
