When we cruised on the NCL Breakaway in October, the Cruise Director was asked why the ship did not have the usual first night show in the theatre that's a preview of the entertainment on board, with the individual performers doing a little bit of their acts, and the same for the shows. The answer was that NCL was keeping the performers and the casts of the several shows separated from each other, so that if someone tested positive, it would not affect the other performers or shows. (And this was even before Omicron.) In addition, all of the performers/entertainers were required to wear masks on board, just like the crew and ship's staff.

Mrs. Nic Posted January 11, 2022 #177 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Thank you for all the up to-the-minute information. Admire your patience with folks who are asking questions no one can answer or even better, questions most of us don't care about. I just want to know what's happening onboard and you did a great job of telling us. So tempted to book one of those empty suites for two weeks from now. Thanks for the info we need to make that decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info we need to make that decision. If you can get a decent price on a suite, you’ll probably never sail on ship so empty. The crew is doing everything in their power to make these cruises wonderful and they are so happy to have us as guests. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence32 Posted January 11, 2022 #180 Share Posted January 11, 2022 First timer question: what exactly is a production show? I am scheduled to sail this Friday. Is there still entertainment at this time? (I just read that the orchestra and Cardinals are out and most likely will be for my cruise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted January 11, 2022 Author #182 Share Posted January 11, 2022 The production shows are the big numbers with singers and dancers that normally repeat cruise after cruise. As opposed to solo acts put on by itinerant “guest entertainers”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyg2000 Posted January 11, 2022 #183 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Would you take the cruise on this ship next week..?????? Here’s my honest reply wait a month and rebook Too many entertainers, artists, acts, quarantine some with covid Previous XMAS cruise had 150 kids not vaccinated some got Covid even with Celebrity protocols Five ports docked all required face masks worn inside and outside and original vaccination card only 2 kids on this shiP which is good and one vomited in the main pool today and pool is closed until tomorrow Ship is empty and service is great and easy to social distance, but I would wait a month or two before getting back on ANY cruise ship now Captain just made announcement that over 1% on ship have Covid with no to mild symptoms 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piched Posted January 11, 2022 #184 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Well, we decided to go for it...we board the Silhouette this Friday for 21 days back to back. We have the option to cancel the second leg while on board. I will check this blog daily stating Saturday and answer any questions anyone has. We are OK if some shows cancelled and ports called off. As long as the food is good and the beer flows, we are ok. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did three specialty restaurants and as good or better than Ruth Chris, Capital Grille, and Morton’s. Drinks and beef selections with basic classic package excellent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 12, 2022 #189 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Hi- please can I check what days your Evening Chic nights are on? Trying to book a speciality meal but we like the MDR on those evenings! I assumed it would be Day 3 and Day 8 as they are sea days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We decided to go on the 21 day cruise also. Just got back from negative Covid test. We get on airplane tomorrow, probably more likely to pick up something there than on ship… staying in Aqua Class so Blu is a good thing for us. See ya all onboard! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh ok thanks. I’ve now looked at the MDR menus and Day 2 has the rack of lamb and beef tournedos, and Day 9 has Beef Wellington. So I’m assuming those are the Chic nights! I don’t like booking speciality on those nights! thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
