Scubadoc Posted December 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2018 We will be in a suite on the Crown in January. On Norwegian they have a reserved section in the theater for those in suites. Does Princess do anything like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewgood Posted December 9, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 9, 2018 No. Not even on formal nights like Celebrity. If you want to attend the first show of the night get there early for the good seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joybook Posted December 9, 2018 #8 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I can see it now. A Princess promotion. Reserve your seat for this evening’s show at only $ 25. I am surprised they have not thought of this. Maybe it will come one day sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but they've renamed the Inside and Oceanview cabins as "steerage", and you can order those people to go get you drinks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with that approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had reserved the front part of the theater (8 or 9 rows) for people willing to pay extra for the experience. It came with free beverages, and servers brought people food. (There was a buffet set up in the back for us regular folks.) Very few people opted to pay the extra money. The F&B manager had to keep chasing away people who wandered into those seats. Have watched the Super Bowl on board Princess ships many times. It's always on MUTS, and may also be in locations like Club Fusion, Vista lounge, Explorer's, Cabin TV. Have never seen it in the theater. It's always free, always open seating, and there are always some kind of snacks. They do sell lots of beverages.

flamomo Posted December 9, 2018 #15 Share Posted December 9, 2018 No they don't, and shouldn't, IMO. That isn't even offered to those of us who have spent at least a small fortune to cruise with Princess enough times to earn Elite status with the line.

RDC1 Posted December 9, 2018 #16 Share Posted December 9, 2018 with the recent change in dining times had no problem getting a good seat for the early show at 6:30 on the Grand 5 minutes before show time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's almost unheard of for just about all the other Princess ships. For most of production shows it's about 35 minutes unless you don't mind being separated from your spouse.

(Sorry about the duplicate quote -- guess I double-clicked on the quote button and can't see a delete). We often take a book to read a few minutes in order to have seats we like.

However, it means that a number of people that would not go to the 9:30 or 10pm show, and thus only went to the 7:30 or 8pm, requiring one to get seats 30 minutes in advance are now willing to go to the late show, resulting in the early show being far less over crowded.

Wonder if that will make the 7:30 or 8pm show far MORE crowded ????. Whatever, we'll deal with it and hope it works out best for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
