We'll be doing the Caribbean Princess in January, and I was wondering what big production shows are currently being presented aboard? We haven't cruised Princess, except for the Ruby, in a couple of years, so whatever is playing will probably be new to us. THANKS for the info.

Not sure about the CB, but here's the blurb on the new production show from the most recent newsletter: (obviously only on 2 ships per the article)

 

 

Take a trip back to the ’70s with Disco…Blame it on the Boogie, a whimsical look at ’70s music and fashion set in

our own glamorous discotheque. Passengers will enjoy classics by disco hit makers like Donna Summer, KC and

the Sunshine Band and a spectacular high-energy Bee Gees’ finale that will have everyone in the audience on

their feet. The retro show is filled with all kinds of fun surprises: there’s the media VJ/DJ who takes us on our journey, an elevated Saturday Night Fever dance floor and roller-skating dancers. The exciting show is even directed and choreographed by Director/Choreographer Liz Imperio who has worked with Madonna, Gloria Estefan, Jennifer Lopez, Dancing with the Stars and the Latin Grammy Show. Disco lovers and passengers who just want to boogie can save the date for two premiere performances — the show opened September 8th on board Emerald Princess® and opens November 30th on board Crown Princess.®

THANKS GUYS AND GALS! Now I've got something extra to look forward too. The lovely Mrs. Jones (Vita) and I truly LOVE the production shows, and I can't wait to snag my usual seat in the theater, (Front Row, Center Stage) and see another fantastic show. Why don't y'all come along and join in the fun? :cool:

FYI: They keep changing the name of the same show thinking people will go if they think it's a new show.

 

Hot Hot Hot has been running for years and they changed the name to Caliente. Now they are calling it Caribbean Caliente? LOL. Still the same show.

Yep, I noticed that too. We've seen Hot-Hot-Hot several times, but what the heck,,,I still enjoy it. I don't doubt that it's a whole lot cheaper to change the name, than to change the show. :eek:

On the CB now, new show tonight, "Born to be Wild" 70's,80'srock music ode to car culture. It was fun, entertaining.

Tomorrow is a Frankie Valli and the four seasons tribute show.

 

Born to be Wild is not a new show. Is the Frankie Valli show going to be in the theater or in the lounge?

Rumor has it "Bert Stratton" will be onboard with his piano antics when we board March 2, looking forward to that! (love him or hate him, lol)

 

I LOVE Bert, but doubt that he'll be aboard for my Jan 12th cruise. WOW, that would really be a bonus if he was.

 

Just sittin' here trying to think of another "snappy" name for the "Motor City" show. How about "Music from Mo-Town". :p

Pia, I just got off the CB on 11/10, after a 14 day b2b, and Born to be Wild IS a new show. It was performed for the first time on the CB on 11/9. When I did the UST they told us it was new and just being rolled out fleet wide, starting with the CB. All the musicians talked about all week, saying it was the new show. And one of the lecturers on the ship told us his last talk was canceled so they could get in one more rehearsal.

 

The show is very innovative and I found myself going 'wow' several times. It utilizes props and a video background that makes it appear that the cast is riding in a pink cadillac, which visits several places along the way. You could see that it was the first show but the performers did a great job.

 

To the OP, there were comedians, magicians, a mentalist, 3 production shows, lectures, an amazing deck party, something going on in at least 4 venues around the ship every night, a great piano bar, with a wonderful and entertaining pianist (Tom), game shows, theme nights and so much to do I needed to stay onboard for 2 more weeks just to do it all.

 

The Frankie Valle show, Unexpected Boys, was one of the best shows I've seen anywhere. Funny, musically fantastic and all around entertaining. It isn't done by the cruise entertainers, but by 4 gentleman who joined the ship at one of the ports.

 

As for Aruba, it is a beautiful island, and if you want to go to the beach, you just walk off the ship and there are 2 beautiful beaches and some shopping right there, as well as Margarittaville.

Sorry Maureen, but that show was on the CB in June and July, so it wasn't new in November.
