Theatre Question

[Minnie29]

Can anyone tell me if you can prebook the boxes in the theatre ahead of your cruise and when this becomes available online?

I understand it’s only for formal nights but just wondering if you can prebook on My Cunard?

Thank you

Don't think you can or at least I have never known it.

[Lanky Lad]

I don't think you can, but I don't think you need to worry about them "selling out". 

[Minnie29]

Do you know how much it is to book one?

[Winifred 22]

I thought it was very expensive and not worth it when you consider they are free other nights.

But don’t you get champagne and chocs?

You get something but it’s still not worth it for me .

No, you can't pre book on line .  Booking a theatre box (which also includes the product of Champagne, chocolates etc) are usually for the big production shows . Whilst these big production shows are usually on a formal evening they are also subject to change . You will need to mange this on the day once onboard the ship. In the mean time Theatre Boxes are freely available on a first come first served on non formal evenings.

Regarding the price of the boxes, I might be wrong but I believe I once read that they are $60 USD per couple plus a 15% service charge. 

 

We are considering booking one during our upcoming sailing from Barcelona on October 9th. (The countdown is on! 🍾) I will be sure to share our experience should we book one!

We booked a box one evening and thought it was well worth the cost. We received LP champagne on ice (cannot remember whether it was a half or full bottle) and a beautiful selection of petit fours. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening, and being in the box made it feel very special. We wouldn't do this lightly, but for a special occasion we thought it was lovely. We booked onboard, on the day if I remember correctly.

We have also booked, once, with friends and that made the occasion. We had a half bottle of champagne per couple.

We'd do it again, as Daisy indicated, if it was to aid celebrating a special occasion but wouldn't bother otherwise.

From one of QE's program guides on our recent voyage...

 

Theatre Box Programme

 

Available on production show evenings.  Enjoy a cocktail in a private lounge area before the show.  Indulge in chocolate treats and Laurent-Perrier Champagne in your private box.  To make a reservation, please dial 33000.  Reservations close at 1.30p on the day of the performance.  US$60 plus a 15% service charge per couple.

 

We have not done this ourselves.  We sometimes sit in the boxes during the daytime insight lectures, and they are a great location to watch the occasional cooking demonstrations.

Cunard must have changed the champagne.    When we sailed on the QV we had a whole not half bottle.    We were in QG but I doubt that made a difference.

Our Box experience was many years ago so the half must have grown up. 🙂

It was a half bottle in March. We have an early dinner but no pudding then we can enjoy the lovely chocolates and champagne 

the champagne is for me and my husband always asks for a beer!
