Rare JamieLogical Posted July 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I was on the Gem in June. Saw Blazing Boots in the main theatre and it was highly entertaining. Even my partner, who doesn't like country music, really enjoyed the dancing. Throughout the ship there was also excellent live entertainment at the bars, lounges, and in the atrium. There was a French lounge singer accompanied by a man on guitar and one on upright bass, called Sunset Trio... they were great! There was a band composed of three guys and a girl who did a Beatles tribute and did other rock/pop music that we caught whenever we could. There was a female singer playing acoustic guitar who was really really good. And there was a guy playing piano and singing Frank Sinatra-style music who I only caught once, but was excellent.

Does the entertainment in the main theatre change nightly like other cruise lines or is it the same show for the whole cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are definitely different shows, but the only one I attended was Blazing Boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted July 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 19, 2018 It changes each night. The Blazin Boots group does that show and another musical which was also great. Other shows are by other people and vary over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woo hoo!! That's good to know that there was plenty of music to go listen to around the ship. Hopefully it stays that way until March! ;p Question, did they play in open areas of the ship or in a closed room? I find that when it's in an open area of the ship they stop playing around 10ish! Would be nice to listen to music and dance later than that beside the night club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they also did some in Spinnaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyBean07 Posted July 20, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted July 20, 2018 There are definitely different shows, but the only one I attended was Blazing Boots. Do you remember what time the shows in the main theatre were at? Most of our dinners are at 6:00 pm so wondering if we will make the early shows or not. Some cruise lines’ main shows are at 7:00 and 9:00 and others are at 8:00 and 10:00. You have been very helpful, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayhil3 Posted August 21, 2018 #13 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Swing and Blazing Boots were the two main shows and a really great magician in Mid July. All three were very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDH377 Posted January 4, 2019 #18 Share Posted January 4, 2019 We went (Dec. 2018) to the opening show, blazing boots, the magician, the aerialists , and the 70's tribute show on the Gem. All were very good and worth seeing except possibly the opening show. It was really just a preview of what was to come plus an introduction of the senior officers.The duo of Russian aerialists were fantastic. As far as I was concerned, the shows could have been 15 or 20 minutes longer. We really did not listen to the musicians performing around the ship. As I recall, all the shows except for one were at 7 and 9. I do not recall which one was at a different time. Have a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
