Anyone receive a survey from Carnival about comedy recently?

[ninjacat123]

Hey all!  I received a survey in my email from Carnival specifically about the comedy shows.  One question was "would you attend a 5-5:30pm comedy show" which I said I would.  Many questions about what type of comedy do I prefer.  Anyone else get this in their email?  TIA!

Just finished it. I would go to a 5pm comedy show for sure. I don't enjoy the nightly shows in the big theater anymore, so I try to see all the comedy shows but those venues are always so crowded.

I wish they would put the comic in the main theater more often. I am not a fan of many of the big production shows. They just aren't very good.

I haven't received a survey but know that some of the ships already have the later afternoon shows listed as "family friendly"

Early in the survey they asked something like "What could make your comedy experience better?" I suggested adding a late, late show or having more R shows in the theater to spread out the crowds. Later in the survey, they asked about the 5pm comedy show - I said no b/c I assumed that would be a PG show, although the survey did not specify... I suppose if the normal two later shows were R that would serve the purpose of spreading out the crowds though. On the question about the types of comedy I was interested in: I liked them all except for the "wordplay" option - I don't think I could sit through half an hour of puns...

Yup.  Finished it this morning.  I wish during the survey that I had the names of the comedians during our June Alaska cruise.

Same!  I was racking my brain and could barely come up with two names.  Argh!

Same here. Did the survey today but could hardly remember names.

Interesting that they sent it out.

I got the survey and just completed.  My main suggestion was to have the shows in a larger venue or have more shows so they’re not so crowded and people don’t have to wait 30-45 minutes to get in.

No, Carnival doesn’t care about my opinion….

I said the same.  Larger venue.  I also got the impression that Carnival was concerned about the "style" of comedy and how passengers perceived it.

The R show we had was horrible

I also received, and completed the this survey.  Wish I could remember more of the names of the comedians we have seen.  Definitely one of DW and I’s favorite activities on our cruises.

We enjoy comedy and usually find the PG shows are better…they seem to have to work harder to actually be funny versus just use a lot of profanity. On our July 31 Sunshine cruise, one comedian was really good and the other was pretty bad. They also had a 3pm show one sea day, which I had never seen before. It was the most jammed of any show I have ever attended. I don’t know why no one ever closed the doors. People were coming in all throughout the show and you couldn’t even get into the room, and they would leave. I feel like Carnival does such a good job managing all the other activities/entertainment/meals on the ship but just drop the ball on Comedy. Maybe the survey is a sign of better things to come.
