partybarbie Posted April 19, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 19, 2022 From my 2019 Princess Patters, the shows are Sweet Soul Music, Colors of the World, and Encore. I doubt they have changed. On the Grand Princess, the currently shows are Sweet Soul Music, Stardust, and British Invasion. I'm going to say that they are at least ten years old. It seems like only the new ships get the new shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VibeGuy Posted April 19, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I thought Royal was supposed to get one of the Schwartz shows at one point. The one with the Henson Creature Shop puppets. I confess, I have an irrational HATE of Colors of the World. It may be due to overexposure, or it may just be the level of cultural appropriation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to be sent off ship for repairs. I have yet to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare dickinson Posted April 19, 2022 #8 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I've been on Royal and they had Magic To Do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VibeGuy Posted April 19, 2022 Author #9 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Magic To Do hasn’t been on any of the ships yet since the restart due to the number and proximity of stagehands required to perform it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare karatemom2 Posted April 19, 2022 #10 Share Posted April 19, 2022 We are on the first cruise on the Royal on May 2 and they are starting to populate the daily activities on the app, so it will be interesting to see if they preview any of the entertainment options. So far it's just the basic daily activity kind of information. If they add any show information, I'll report back. I'm not expecting anything too elaborate given its the first cruise and the crew and entertainment staff will no doubt be settling in after a very long hiatus.

VibeGuy Posted April 19, 2022 Author #11 Share Posted April 19, 2022 They started transferring entertainment and cruise staff to the ship back in January when it was being used for quarantine. They even ran a special segment LA-Ensenada to transfer staff off Ruby outside US control. They also took a two month delay in return to service so they may be better staffed than anticipated - or worse if they’ve moved staff to busier sailings. I’m going to hope for the former and be satisfied with the latter. I, too, have been watching the activities populate! I’m just *thrilled* to see Gold By The Inch return! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike45LC Posted April 19, 2022 #12 Share Posted April 19, 2022 There were no decent production shows on the Majestic last month. Something called Encore and something called Sweet Soul Music. I walked out of both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VibeGuy Posted April 20, 2022 Author #14 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Well, the Medallion Gods heard my entreaties and recognize that I sacrificed an infrequent cruiser to a local volcano, to rent their fealty. The production shows are: Encore Sweet Soul Music <The One That Shall Not Be Named For Fear That It Might Spread> The *good* news is that Michael Misko is scheduled to appear - he’s one of the magicians they’ve used for Magic To Do in the past, and he’s quite good.

One would think - even with keeping the same show names - they could mix in some new songs for a change. I always like to have a good comedian. On one cruise we were lucky and had two.

Rare karatemom2 Posted April 20, 2022 #16 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Well I’m not taking this cruise for the shows but for the great itinerary - so I guess I’m not disappointed but none of them really excite me. I’ve seen Colors of the Wind and Encore multiple times and well, meh! Honestly Princess falls far short in their production shows. We were on NCL last year and their shows are amazing. Jersey Boys was a wow! But now I can avoid a crowded theatre situation and just enjoy Alaska on my balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VibeGuy Posted April 20, 2022 Author #17 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Exactly. It’s no loss - we just like to have our heckling tuned up ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mam11 Posted April 20, 2022 #18 Share Posted April 20, 2022 We had Sweet Soul and Rock Opera on the Emerald in March. Both excellent. I was surprised at the large number of performers- around a dozen. I love the production shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I agree it's not a good show. I have no need to ever see that one again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ombud Posted May 24, 2022 #20 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Production shows are up on my Majestic cruise next month and they're new-to-me: Day 2: Spotlight Bar Day 6: Rock Opera The only show I personally found boring was Stardust, but then all the songs were new to me so ~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloopsailor Posted May 24, 2022 #21 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) While not a production show, are they still doing the fountain "dance" shows in the evenings? Edited May 24, 2022 by sloopsailor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they were doing them on our recent Alaska cruise, but most nights it was really too cold and windy on deck to enjoy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
