How much time needed before shows

[jabrown40]

We enjoy attending the evening entertainment - what time do shows start on Reflection, and how much time should we allow when dining in specialty restaurants or MDR?

Depends on the port, but you need to be there 5 minutes before show time, IMHO.

Aren't the shows usually sometime 'around' set dinner seating times? I seem to remember hitting the show after our 'late' seating and sometimes fell asleep during the show because I was so exhausted from the day in port.

We like to arrive at least 15 min ahead....enjoy a drink and people watch...

For some of the more popular shows we suggest even earlier if you have a certain spot in mind.

 

We love how stragglers arrive at the last minute and expect seats together...party of 5 or 6...or in the alternative...the large bloc seat savers!

 

all in all, not overly stressful on Celebrity and no req to book ahead!

Yes the shows are scheduled around the two "traditional" (fixed) dining times. On non-formal nights, show are typically at 7 PM (good for those with late seating), and 9 PM (for the early seating diners). On formal nights, however, the shows are typically scheduled so that those with "traditional" dining attend *after* dinner. (Makes for a really, really late night if you have the second seating.)
