Oosterdam Alaska Southbound

[The-Inside-Cabin]

Here is our itinerary leaving Seward July 26th

 

My guess if Formal nights will be July 27th and July 31st

 

Does anyone have better information?

 

Does anyone know which production shows will be on which nights?

 

Thanks!

 

July 26: Seward (Anchorage), Alaska

 

July 27: At Sea

 

July 28: Glacier Bay

 

July 29: Haines, Alaska

 

July 30: Juneau, Alaska

 

July 31: Ketchikan, Alaska

 

August 1: Inside Passage

 

August 2: Vancouver, B.C.

Sounds correct.

I looked at your itinerary and you stay in ports until 7 and later.

The only time you leave a port early is Juneau at 6 PM -- July 30.

Production shows are usually on the same night as formal nights. It appears that your formal nights will be your sea day after you leave Seward and then Juneau. Even leaving at 6 PM is going to make it difficult for people to get all dressed up if they get back to the ship ay 5:30 (cutting it too close).

Last year the formal nights were the first at sea and Ketchikan, which had the same departure time as this year.

Thanks for the report! Do you recall if those were the same nights as the ship entertainer production shows?

Yes, they were the singers/dancers.

1st formal was called Northern Lights

2nd formal was Rockin Roadhouse

 

By the way, the PG was fully booked prior to sailing except for Le Cirque which was Juneau evening.

We were on that cruise and could not have been more disappointed in the shows in the Vista Theatre. Budget cuts in recent years were blatantly obvious: no show band provided live music; music was prerecorded (though The Band did play in the second show); dancers were mediocre -4 women, 2 men; singers often lip synced to recorded sound track but were exceptional when they actually sang; sets were uninspiring; practically no theme to the shows... just a bunch of songs loosely tied together, etc.

 

One of our main enjoyments in cruising is the entertainment. The Oosterdam was really lacking in the Vista Theatre. Case in point, here was the entertainment for 3 of 7 nights... 1. Movie 2. Dancing with the Stars (sorry, but I do not care to watch other passengers dancing passed off as entertainment) 3. Philipino Crew Show.
