Epic Spiegel Tent???

[ready2cruzagain]

Trying doing a specific search and came up with nothing. What is in the Spiegel Tent on the Epic now? Is there a dinner show still? If so, are reservations in advance? Not seeing anything online when I google it. Thanks!

I came across this when searching for the tent.  I went to the Circus show back in 2013. It still shows as Spiegel tent on deck 6 mid ship.  What I'm not sure about is how recent this site is. I shows lots of info and pictures as well. 

I'm booked again on Epic in April '24 as a solo. I'd be interested to know if they've changed the venue to something else or maybe just the type of entertainment.

I was on the epic in March.  There were a couple of comedy shows in there.  They also used it for the "canvas by u" classes.  Attached is a picture from the one I did.

There wasn't much (if any) going on inside the "Tent" as recent as late April / May when we're on her TA ... with numerous sea days en route to Barcelona, pretty sad - hardly mentioned in the Freestyle Dailies.  Apparently, same trending with the equivalent venue on the Breakaway and Getaway - few cruisers willing to settle for a mediocore 3 course meal with the upcharge & 20% with a live circus-like performance (paid for & watch it once on the BA then, enough)   

 

Very few live and/or semi-live Epic cruise reports lately here on CC ... or, did we missed reading about it 🤔

When we sailed this July it was reserved for a large group from Israel. and closed to the public.\

I can't find anything on the Epic lately.  Was shocked when I tried finding out what is going on in the Spiegel Tent and couldn't find any info.  I have 6 cruises booked on the Epic so hopefully someone put up a review soon.

Mking,  I believe I was on the same transatlantic cruise as you to Barcelona. You probably don't recall or were aware that a talent show took place there on 1 of the sea days. When I looked out into the audience the place appeared to be packed.

Thanks and hello, were you at that brief M&G ?  Upon checking the FS Daily, you are correct - that was Day 11, after Funchal en route to Cadiz, which the ship was unable to dock due to wind & weather ... yes, the Guest Talent Show in the Tent.  Insofar as dinner show, none available ... given the nearly full sailing and long lines for evening dinner almost everywhere, probably could've generated a bit of extra revenue for NCL.  

 

Now that I look closer at all 15 days worth of FSD, Canvas by U was in there for 1 session early on, 2 comedies there, and many days with Bamboozled - Tabletop Escape Experience (reservations  required) ... a matter of priorities by choice.  For the dozen or so younger ones, there must've been lots of personalized attention and pampering with Guppies and Splash Academy being open daily - the place was empty as our secret angled balcony was on nearby, next to the elevators & stairs - very little traffic in/out of there ... and never a line or wait to drop off or pickup.  Staff assigned there must've felt like being on vacation, unlike their fellow team members in the dining rooms, houskeeping & elsewhere.  The casino was kind of sleepy too, everytime we walk past the area - and, apparently not many smokers "donating" there, LOL.
