RoePost Posted February 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Hi Fellow Cruisers. Can anyone tell me how you reserve the shows that take place in the Carousel Theatre and cost extra? When do they become available? I do not see any info about them on the MSC website. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAGR Posted February 23, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Long story short: We did it through MSC by phone call to customer service. Long reason: Went online into our booking, and the shows were listed. Can't remember if it was under entertainment or drinks, but when we picked a date or dates, the system blocked. When you cal, they can give you a date, but not a show time. We did have to call twice to get an agent who knew what to do, TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellfree Posted February 23, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 23, 2023 If I remember correctly it is $18 and includes a beverage. We booked it on-board, choosing date and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2cruzagain Posted February 23, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 23, 2023 We booked ours online. On MSC site, go to your booking and I believe it is under beverages. If did not show up until about 2 months before the cruise. If you book online before hand it is $12 pp per show. If you book on the cruise it is $18 pp per show. If you have the 3 Specialty Dinner package I was told you can book it on the ship and it is only $5 pp per show. You cannot preset your time. When you get on the ship you will need to go to Oceans Cay Restaurant (some have said there is a desk set up next to the GS reception but this was not the case on our cruise) and make your reservation date and time. We did not like the Carousel shows and preferred the main theater shows over them but that is our opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the shows myself.. The $18 and $12 prices are correct.. Edited February 23, 2023 by PTC DAWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show might not be of the greatest quality, but if inebriated enough it’ll be worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One drink only included with admission , you pick it up on the way in , a choice of 3 , one non alcoholic and 2 with spirits. When we were on Meraviglia in Feb 2019 there was a technical issue with one of the shows , we sat there waiting more than 30 mins when they decided to cancel .There were plenty of drinks still available on the display so hubbie just went and helped himself 😆 🤣. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were plenty of drinks at the seating area entrance on our cruise..mid show, big trays of them. I passed, for some BOURBON. 🙂 Edited February 24, 2023 by PTC DAWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were 4 of us and we all agreed, they were horrible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoePost Posted February 24, 2023 Author #12 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Thank you all for that info...one more thought....If we see the carousel shows will we still be able to fit in the regular shows? Do they interfere with the regular show times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAGR Posted February 24, 2023 #13 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Since both venues usually have two shows, it should not be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted February 26, 2023 #14 Share Posted February 26, 2023 On Mera same show twice a night. Drink stunk. Show is behind casino so you have to deal with smoke which drifts into front of show area. We booked ahead of time but no dates or time. Asked concierge to book who called. Butler escorted us down and in. Among five of us, Houdini highest rating a B-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can take one in with you instead of what they give you at the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
