Jay22Jay Posted September 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 23, 2015 First time cruiser here, but sailing on Ruby Princess with my mom who has cruised several times on several different lines. She said we need a 5:30 pm dining time in order to catch the show each evening. Is there only 1 show time each night? I was hoping for a more leisurely afternoon, with plenty of primping and pre-function time before dinner. Any insights?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpeabody Posted September 23, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I was recently on the Ruby. I went to the anytime dining room at 5:45 and had no trouble making the 8:00 show. There is a second show at 10:00. Ruby allowed early or late reservations on my cruise. Enjoy the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredie Posted September 24, 2015 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Most shows will have two performances, but that isn't always the case. You should have no problem making an 8 pm show if you have the 6-ish dinner. You can ask the waiter to hurry things along if you need to be out at a certain time.

caribill Posted September 24, 2015 #4 Share Posted September 24, 2015 The Welcome Aboard Show is usually only presented one time. The other shows in the main theater are presented two or three times. No matter when you eat, you should be able to make a show that evening (with the possible exception of the Welcome Aboard Show). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay22Jay Posted September 24, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Thank you everyone. This was very helpful! I'm beginning to think my mom wants to eat that early because of heartburn, not because of the shows, so I may lose the battle anyway! No matter what time we eat, the cruise will be great fun!

Rare geoherb Posted September 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Princess cut back the length of the production shows a few years ago and generally present them three times each night, 7:00, 8:30, and 10:00, give or take 15-30 minutes. We used to always go to the shows after dinner, but the new 7:00 time is great for those of us with second seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
