Princess Show reservations

[grannyp]

Just heard on Let's Go Travel Tips that we NEED show reservations now.  Does anyone have experience with this?  Thanks

Didn't need it for the cruise we just took to Mexico!

That was for Norwegian not Princess

[Rick&Jeannie]

Yes...NCL Cruise Lines...not Princess.  While that particular host normally focuses on Princess she deviated a bit and spoke of NCL.  I occasional sail NCL and have never had to make reservations for a show...I wonder how long it will be before those loyalists "storm the castle"?

I can't understand half the things she says.  She drops her voice at the end of each sentence.  I'll stick with Tony from La Lida Loca.

Somebody may be confusing the new premiere package which includes reserved seating for production shows.

False alarm?  Like when the governor of Hawaii couldn't reverse the Missile Attack warning because he forgot his password?

 

Posters are already skittish about current changes and modification on Princess.

False information!

On Emerald now, no requirement for show reservations, but people start showing up about 345 minutes early for the show.

Supposed to be 45 minutes

I quite often show up at that time & like to reserve a seat for my husband while watching a movie. There are always a hand of people who do likewise.

I don't think anybody is going to say *anything* about holding one seat next to you for a spose/traveling partner.  It's those that try to hold half a row that get me riled up!

[MustangGT]

If I go before my husband, I just explain, “He’s parking the car.”

I agree, saving a seat is okay - an entire row?  Nope!

Doesn't the "Crooo-oooos-ing and jazz hands drive you crazy? I was one and done.

They never have in the past although it pays to bring something (like a sweater) to lay on the backrest so people don't keep asking if your saving the seat for someone else.

THANKS TO ALL WHO RESPONDED!  VERY RELIEVED.

It is my understanding that on sailings after 2/20, Princess Premier package holders will have a designated "reserved" seating area for shows. No reservations required, just a designated area for those with the Premier package.

Yes, for the production shows, but not for anything else.

And not for the guest entertainers?

No, not according to the small print. A guest entertainer is not the same as a production show.

"PCL will reserve a group of seats for Princess Premier guests for “production show” presentations (Broadway-style shows with singers and dancers) during the voyage;"

I'll be on the look out for those reserves seats on our next cruise.... not that I'll be sitting in one of them. It should prove interesting to see how many seats they reserve.

We always sit up top in the back m so not interested in "saved"seats up front

Most of the reserved seating I've encountered wasn't "up front" but a level up in the center section. They were for friends & relatives of the production crew and not for Premium  guests. 

I'm guessing that they'll be in a similar location.

Yep, his antics are hard to take. But, he seems to have some of the best cruise information out there, so I put up with it. His peculiarities keep me interested while "Let's go travel tips" causes me to doze off if I'm not careful.
