Cheer Mom D Posted September 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Our cruise will be the first cruise that Footloose will no longer be the show. Has anyone heard what the replacement will be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKstages Posted September 17, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2023 are you talking about the 10/28 western caribbean 7-day itinerary out of miami? while that is supposed to be the first voyage without "footloose," it's still being shown as an entertainment option for that cruise in the app and the website. that's probably an NCL website snafu, but who knows? as for a replacement show, again... who knows? i don't even think NCL knows yet. but, lately, they've been quite fond of solo acts... violinists, singers and comedians. i don't think we should expect to see a large scale broadway production replacing "footloose." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SpainAlien Posted September 17, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2023 What the World Needs Now on Star has been replaced with Deal or No Deal on our cruise planner. I hope that NCL don't just get rid of all the major production shows, that is one of my favourite things on a cruise. I don't drink a lot so sitting in a bar all night doesn't appeal and I don't like magicians or jugglers particularly (I don't think it works well in a large theatre) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope they won't start considering things like Deal or No Deal a show that can replace "real" shows! Not that What the World Needs Now was a great show, but at least it was song and dance by professionals! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacation44 Posted September 17, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I think Footloose will not be replaced with any show of the same caliber. It is also still showing up for our June 2024 cruise. While I personally will not miss Footloose (one and done for us) I hope Elements will still be onboard. Would love them to bring onboard MDQ. Is that show still on any ships? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that show still on any ships? Million Dollar Quartet was on our Getaway cruise in May. Excellent talented cast that also performed one night of "Broadway Unplugged". So far, we haven't heard anything about MDQ not being renewed🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uneamie Posted September 18, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Would love to see a "Cirque du soleil" show on the Joy. I love their shows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Joy's current show, Elements, is kinda of a Cirque show with a lot of aerial work. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footloose was a disappointment. Elements was fantastic. Joy is going through some major changes. Time will tell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow you always seem to be on our next ship a couple of months before us.... or this case just before we board. How do you do that🤔 I'll be watching your posts for the very latest updates on Joy.

No. That will be just for us to remember... The OL will be complete. And Footloose will be main production show. And there will be virtual reality in the Galaxy Pavilion.... for now. Soon, they will all go the way of the Seafood Buffet, Tea House, and Zen Garden 😞 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird, I look forward to hearing your honest opinion of the Joy after the change. I don't know your cruising future, but I want to take the 10-day Joy cruise in Sept. 2025. I won't do it if the changes are as dramatic as I think they will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a place to sit down and have a nice cup of tea? With some sandwiches? Scones with clotted cream? Ok, now I'm just dreaming. 🙂 But really, what is this tea house you speak of? It sounds interesting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As hinted above, The Birds will sail in a few weeks from now,,,, before the dry dock. Maybe we'll schedule something in the new year and see the changes. The Joy has not had the best track record for us. I think we have had 4-5 cancelled cruises on the Joy including the Joy's first cruise in the US (cancelled by NCL so they could do more non-revenue media/VIP cruises) and NCL's first post-pandemic cruise (was supposed to sail out of Jamaica to circumvent some CDC rules).

Assuming that you booked during the Latitudes triple-points promotion and you get the extra point for the room,,, you'll be an ambassador in no time. We were happy to see the 4x posted for our cruise last week. We won't get as many points for our cruise on the Joy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We very much enjoyed our cruise on the Joy last September to Canada. We prefer the Encore, but the differences (today) are minimal. I liked SpiceH20 on the Joy, I did not like Maltings compared to the Encore. Everything else was nearly identical. If we lose nearly 1/2 of the OL on the Joy, we will probably not sail her again.

We will have to see how much NCL (and CAS) really wants us to keep cruising with them🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
