Rare vadersprincess12 Posted January 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hello ~ for any recent cruisers on the Anthem of the Seas, do you still have to make reservations for the theater shows? Not seeing anything on line but the Spectra's Cabaret show which we saw on a previous sailing and didn't care for. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for reservations, each ship is rolling out onto the website for precruise booking. But also, most of the shows there will be a stand by line and it is very easy to get in on the upper levels as well just at showtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare vadersprincess12 Posted January 12, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Spectra doesn't require reservations. That shows on the website right now but the other shows do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woneill63 Posted January 13, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I was on the Dec 4th sailing and reservations for Spectra was required. We enjoyed it but once was enough. Music Hall had some real good entertainment, especially the Journey cover band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatka Posted January 13, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Just off Anthem. They allow people without reservations 10 minutes before show or later if there are spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare vadersprincess12 Posted January 15, 2023 Author #12 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Well, strangely enough I got an email yesterday to get ready for my cruise and make my reservations. The only thing that shows is Spectra and says it doesn't need reservations. The two other shows are not showing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also were just off the Anthem and no matter how you want to spin it, you need reservations for Spectra. If not you will just take your chances with the others that followed your advice. Ourselves, we weren't that impressed with Spectra and since we are a bit long in the tooth, we really weren't fans of We Will Rock You either. Add to that The Gift which we sort of dozed off during so all in all, we weren't that impressed with that part of the entertainment.

Cheers Len Thanks Len ~ we saw Spectra a few years ago and weren't impressed either so whether it's reservation or not, we won't be seeing it. We will probably enjoy the rock show. Not sure what the gift is about but if we don't like it we can leave. DH and I were on a cruise last year where Cats was the show and soooo many people, including us, left after about 30 minutes. I just don't know what all the hubbub was about that show ~ it was really boring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's telling you it's complementary and on those days,. It's doesn't discuss reservations. Why do you doubt people who were actually on the ship and had to make reservations? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vadersprincess12 Posted January 21, 2023 Author #20 Share Posted January 21, 2023 mets123 ~ I am doubting because you and others said reservations were required and their email to me shows it's complimentary.

mets07 Posted January 21, 2023 #21 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Hi, I am a different mets (mets07). It is complimentary (free), but on Anthem they still require reservations for it. FYI, about 10 minutes before the show, they do start letting people in who do not have reservations as long as there is room. It is simply because the particular space/location of the event is limited. I was able to make a reservation prior to the cruise. Hope this helps. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only show that's available to reserve before you board is "Spectra's Cabaret". The others will have to be reserved once you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets07 Posted January 21, 2023 #23 Share Posted January 21, 2023 We were on the January 2nd cruise on Anthem. The only show that required reservations was Spectra's. Just show up for the rest..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means that there is no charge for it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They send me an email telling me it's time to plan my trip and show this as complimentary but there is no where at all to make a reservation. If they can't be made until we board it would nice if they would communicate that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
