fndecker Posted January 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2023 They just added this to the Scarlet Lady. I know it is a variety dinner show and that's it. How is it? What food do they bring and how does it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What food do they bring and how does it work? It’s a variety show, live band with a host and a couple of audience participation games then around four variety acts, circus, dance magic that sort of thing do 5-10 mins each. Food at the show on Valiant Lady wasn’t great. A salad appetiser was okay, then a steak tartare appetiser that was just a weird choice as it’s a love/hate type of dish. Breaded chicken or sea bass as a main, the chicken was fine but needed more veggies. Then an overset chocolate mousse dessert. We ate most of the food except the steak tartare but still got late night pizza. the show is good though, fun and the right amount of cheesy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cantgetin Posted January 28, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Valiant Lady October 2022....the show was borderline ok. The variety acts were good, the audience participation stuff was just stupid. I shouldn't be overly critical because the host was brand new--we knew that the other person's contract was over at the end of our cruise, so they were working together for the first week and then the new person was handling it for the second week. The experienced person was better...but that's likely just a matter of being comfortable in the position. The food was awful. We had heard in advance that it was bad, so asked to not be served. We informed that they "Had to" bring us the food. The steak tartare smelled like dog food and tasted worse. The chicken was so firm (hard) that I couldn't cut it with the knife provided. Fortunately the show was early and we did a "walk up" at a restaurant after leaving. It was the only bad food that we were served on the entire cruise, and frankly made no sense to me. Everything else on the ship ranged from "pretty good" (Galley stuff sometimes) to "great" in the restaurants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the show we had an amazing meal at The Wake. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cantgetin Posted January 28, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Glad to hear that they are no longer insisting on serving that stuff. I've also read that the quality has improved. That's why I listed our specific sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverendingcruising Posted January 28, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I had heard that the menu is now different, not sure if that's just Scarlet or they updated it on both ships. We've seen it twice and the quality of the acts vary. I thought the host dialog was just OK but the singer and band were great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ociana Posted January 31, 2023 #8 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Saw the show in Oct 2022 on Valiant. My main food complaint was that it was too dark to see what I was eating clearly. It did turn into a game for us though! I was late to arrive because I was still at trivia so my hubby ordered for us. When they brought the food, they didn't say what it was so he made me guess what I was eating through the whole meal. None of the food was memorable, but it wasn't inedible either.

CruznTheWorld Posted February 24, 2023 #11 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Just left Scarlet Lady. Here's the menu for Ship Show. The show was actually very good, we passed on the food and ate before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would make things easier if the vegetarian main was printed in the menu too, but I guess they don’t want meat eaters ordering it and lots of chicken going to waste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
