Review summary

If you did not arrive at least 45 minutes BEFORE a performance, it was impossible to find a seat. The same was true on the Lido deck....The ship needs more chairs. Even a lunch counter style would be a big help.

Mentalist was a poor act. David Copperfield showed how this was done.

Would like to have assigned seating in theatre.

Ship tip

Reserve a table so you can walk right into dining room and not wait in line.

I always ask the front desk when I board. Sea days, usually.

Question: If you have early dinner seating(not sure of the time- going on Mexican Riviera cruise in January) do you have enough time to attend a seated performance of an early show?

I think that definitely holds true, If you eat dinner earlier. If, however, you are eating dinner later, the second show has plenty of room! And I find there are plenty of chairs in the Lido if I sit with someone who is already there. Often there is just two people at a table for 6 and they're more than happy to share. I only found it difficult if I did not want to sit with anyone. I also did not have trouble with a deck chair, but I would usually go outside by 10 or so in the morning.

About the shows, unless you had a booking for a seat at a theatre anywhere you would not just walk in and get a seat, so it's no different on s cruise you have to be very early to get a seat as no bookings, first in best dressed as they say. We have not had any problems getting there early and been able to pick a seat
