Heavy audience participation but not me, though my thx was later utilised as a prop to save a lady’s modesty…..

Was there a cost for this show. I recall seeing somewhere that is was bookable for an extra charge. How does that work?

[Colin_Cameron]

Pre-publicity was quite confusing.

 

It has to be booked, but there is no charge for the show. There is a drinks service which, like everywhere else on the ship, is charged. 

 

It is the same show, twice a night, every night, at least on this voyage. I guess they may introduce a different show at some point.

 

The same venue is also used as the late night disco.

Booked on the ‘My Cunard’ app and no charge. Very popular.

Thanks for clarifying @Colin_Cameron

[ClaireRuss]

Thank you for the clarification. Hope you are having a wonderful voyage!

Excuse my ignorance…. How do you get the My Cunard app? I’ve searched my App Store and cannot locate it.

Its not an app, you will be able to access the My Voyage web page when onboard and connected to their Wifi. You won't need a wifi package to view this page.

I distinctly remember Cunard promoting it as “no two nights are ever the same.” Guess that was aspirational 🤷‍♂️

Perhaps not.

The current show has been described as having "Heavy audience participation". If much of it is unscripted and the supporting actors are constantly changing it may well be different every show.

Sounds as if it is well worth avoiding. 😀

Or get a seat in the back row to avoid being called up. Shows like that can be funny or cringe-worthy, and it's a fine line.

I once assigned the class clown to a seat in the back row so his antics (generally mimed, not vocal) distracted only me, but not the other students.

Actually, he was unusual in that he was satisfied if I gave him a small smile.

As you were seated several people, myself included, were asked if they would be willing to participate, I declined.  There was no pressure and it wasn't done during the show.

Does it have any more information or functions than I can see on my computer at home? Like see menus or daily programs?

Sorry, no, the My Voyage process is based on connecting to the intranet site "myvoyage.cunard.com" once onboard ship using the ship's wifi. None of the information found on My Voyage can be accessed from home.

 

There is a webpage for "myvoyage.cunard.com" which you can access now from home, but it won't get you very far. That page simply discusses accessing the real site once on board and how to bookmark it on your device for easy access.

What information will it provide once I'm onboard?
