CarolinaMamma Posted July 22, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2021 For those who have upcoming cruises on Encore, are you seeing Kinky Boots as an option? My cruise isn’t til January, so I know it’s too early to book, but I’m not seeing Kinky Boots listed, and just wondering what folks booked on cruises within the 120 day window are seeing. Also, are you able to book shows in advance? I notice some things say “too early to book,” while others, like Choir of Man, say “Book on board.” I am a planner, so really hope I’ll be able to book shows in advance as usual.

TardisDance Posted July 22, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Yes, it’s on the Sept 11th Alaska sailing, but we received an email that we could no longer reserve the shows in advance and that reservations would be cancelled (mine oddly enough still show on my vacation though). That probably won’t be the case for your sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it will be the same nights when they go down to the Caribbean, but I’m curious. And desperate for a cruise to look forward to. Enjoy Alaska!

Treasure Hunter Posted July 22, 2021 #5 Share Posted July 22, 2021 We are on the Encore Thanksgiving week. Yes Kinky Boots is the show. We have a group with some Club suites and some balcony cabins. Right now the suites can only book specialty dining. The balcony’s can book on Saturday. Still shows too early to book the shows. You just have to keep checking. By the way, Choir of Man is wonderful and a really fun night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TardisDance Posted July 22, 2021 #6 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Hmm it looks like only Choir of Men can still be reserved for Sept. which explains why my reservation is still there. That’s the only show I reserved prior to the letter. It’s offered on Thurs and Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before they shut down reservations, Choir was on Day 2 and Day 7 at 7:30 and 10:00. Now,,, that makes absolutely no sense if they are running two shows (normally the install the set and run the shows either on consecutive nights or with one night gap, at most, then tear down the set. They wouldn't alternate shows (way too much effort to setup and tear down sets - the fabulous 2-story bar set for Choir - largest in the fleet). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerooveride Posted July 22, 2021 #9 Share Posted July 22, 2021 The only available Entertainment listings on my 08/21/2021 Alaska Sailing: 1. Choir of Man 2. Social Comedy and Night Club 3. Cavern Club Kinky Boots and Happy Hour Prohibition are no longer showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisekitty22 Posted July 22, 2021 #10 Share Posted July 22, 2021 We no longer have Kinky Boots or Prohibition on our cruise, Encore either in December 5-12, 2021 listed. Disappointed NOT to see Prohibition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ziggyuk Posted July 22, 2021 #11 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Kinky Boots is no longer showing on 16th October but Choir of Man (not bookable) is now showing on every single day instead of just twice (as it was before). I wonder if they plan to have just the one show, repeated every night with lower audience numbers? It certainly looks that way on the planner.

AtlantaCruiser72 Posted July 23, 2021 #14 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I’m booked on Encore December 12th. Up until a few days ago both Kinky Boots and Prohibition showed and were labeled “too early to book”. Now they have both been removed. Not too worried, yet…. Was really looking forward to seeing NCL‘s version of Kinky Boots having previously seen it on Broadway and on tour as well as watching the filmed West End version on Broadway HD. Such a fun show!

zerooveride Posted July 23, 2021 #15 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Someone on the Facebook roll call for my 08/21/2021 Encore sailing said they called NCL and was informed that the Entertainment will stay the same and Kinky Boots would be available but just not available for pre-booking. **This is 2nd hand information** I hope this is correct . . . but can you really trust NCL at this point? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefchick Posted July 23, 2021 #16 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I am booked on Encore 9/11 sailing. I also received the email saying all previously booked entertainment has been canceled yet my vacation summary still has both shows booked (Kinky boots day 2 and Choir of men day 6). I do hope they remain as I was really looking forward to seeing them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmom1 Posted August 16, 2021 #24 Share Posted August 16, 2021 We just finished the 8/7 Encore sailing and were sorely disappointed that "Kinky Boots" was not presented. We were told that it was returning for the 8/28 sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
