Around the World with the Diva vs. Ships in the Night

[tbmrt]

Which one do you think is best?  I checked out online and think we could pass on Ships in the Night if need be.

We thought Around the World was quite campy, production value of Ships In the Night was considerably better. Ships is a lot more serious whereas Diva is just all fun.

Yep it’s hard to answer as the shows are completely different, Around the World with the Diva is campy, silly and best enjoyed with a drink. Ships in the Night is a full theatrical show but I found the plot odd and hard to work out what it was actually about.

Around the World if your resident diva is Carlos. (Just my opinion.)

Two completely different shows as folks have mentioned. If the Diva is Carlos, Around the World is silly, campy fun. We love that show and this last sailing on Scarlet Lady we caught four different shows/events with Carlos. Best Diva Ever! 

 

Ships in the Night is a full production show, though both sailings on Scarlet Lady the show has been cancelled for us. So we've yet to see it.

Ships into the night is honestly the worst show on any Virgin ship. Around the world with the Diva is excellent, but some Diva's are better than others, and I agree Carlos IS the best Diva of them all! If he is on your sailing don't miss it!

Completely agree about Carlos as well... and interestingly I, too, have missed Ships in the Night on 3 of my sailings.

Couldn't agree more - I would not go back to Ships in the Night - it was drawn out and awkward.

Not sure who the Diva was but Around the World on Valiant last week was universally panned by anyone that had this misfortune to see it.🤣

The Diva show was one of the best shows I've seen in 50 cruises. If you like a little bit of raunchy, bawdy humor and aren't offended, you'll have a lot of fun.  

 

Ships in the night was alright; worth seeing if you have the time to go. But if you can only choose one, definitely the Diva show.  Ships in the Night is most similar to song/dance production shows you would find on any cruise ship.
