Has VIVA Entertainment been announced?

[AtlantaCruiser72]

Can’t seem to find any details on the entertainment for VIVA.  Has there been any announcement or rumors?

 

Hoping the game shows will be the same as Prima and also hoping for Noise Boys as well. Hoping for a great main musical show!

They haven’t announced it yet.  I wouldn’t expect anything like that to come out till late Q1 to early Q2 of next year.

This is on the Prima, waiting to hear about Viva

Where will the homeport be on the Viva, since the homeport of the prima is being split between Miami and Galveston. Right now, Miami only goes to 12/3/3023. I'd like to know more about 2024.

Not sure if you can call the Prima "homeported". She visits Galveston once in the next year and Miami 3 times:

 

2 cruises from New York 10/22 (Bermuda and repositioning)

1 cruise from Galveston 10/22 (repositioning) 

3 cruises from Miami 11/22-12/22 (Western Caribbean)

14 cruises from Port Canaveral 12/22-3/23 (Western Caribbean)

8 cruises from New York 3/23-5/23 (Bermuda)

Then returns to do a dozen cruises out of Reykjavik/Southampton 5/23-9/23

And that take her to late September next year.  

 

There is a gap in the Prima's schedule, so there is a big TBD for 2024. Right now, the Prima schedule picks up in December doing Western Caribbean from Galveston, then back to Reykjavik/Southampton

 

Viva shows some Med/Greek Isles/Iberian Peninsula stuff 8/23-11/23, then Southern Caribbean from San Juan 12/23-3/24,. then back to the Med/Greek Isles/Iberian Peninsula in 4/24

Thanks for the replies.
 

Question to self now is do I book Encore which has Kinky Boots/Choir of Man both of which I love, even though I’ve already sailed and really enjoyed her.  Or do I take a leap of faith and book Viva and hope the entertainment offerings are just as much to my liking? Considering I can get a balcony on Encore for what I’d pay for an interior on Viva.  It’s a tough choice

I would never pick a cruise based on what shows are in the theater. Book the new ship.

This is where we differ (and having differing opinions is a GREAT thing!).  The main theater entertainment is an important element of the cruise experience to me, especially on a line like NCL.  For example - I would NEVER book Joy because of Footloose.  Only touring Broadway show I ever walked out of - absolute garbage!  I'm not going to pay the premium to sail NCL if I'm not going to enjoy the headline show.  Same reason I would not sail Oasis of the Seas (CATS).  Each to their own I guess!
