Spectra's Cabaret on Anthem...

[WrittenOnYourHeart]

I went in to look to see if show reservations had opened up yet and this is the only show listed. I see it's offered on 4 days. Is it different each day or the same?

[Another_Critic]

The same.

Thank you! Wasn't sure if I needed to reserve it more than once.

You [probably] will not want to see it more than once.  😄

 

It's a love it or hate it show.  Usually no middle ground.

Exactly the same.  We've seen it twice, once on each time we were on Anthem.  We were lucky in that we got to see Terry LaVell both times.  It's been several years but it was a spectacular show.

Thank you. I wasn't sure if there were different versions each night, but y'all have clarified for me. Thanks!

Just repeated that many times because of the size of the venue.

Spectra's Cabaret is worth seeing if for no other reason to see Two70 in action. It's a cool venue.

Love the show, hate the venue. It's very hard to get a decent view. You'll want to try and get there early. If they're doing on the last night of your cruise that can be a good option as lots of folks will already have seen it and/or be too busy packing to go.

Ooh! Good info. They are. Maybe I can cancel my initial one and change it. I tend to pack as I go anyway so the last day/night isn't so stressful.

Agree. Saw it last March. Sat thru it once. Wouldn't do it again. Not my thing. The venue in action was cool, though.

We watched show about 9 times. We thought Terry was the best (there was somebody else in 2017 on Thanksgiving)... until this Thanksgiving. New guy was at least as good. It felt that he is invested more in this show.

There is a slight chance the show may be slightly different.  In rough seas, the talent does not come down from the ceiling. 

 

I think we have seen this show 6-7 times.  We sit in different areas and see new things each time.  It's the same with the Book. 

[Norwich Cruiser]

Saw it earlier this year a decent enough show to see once.

They have not had aerialist in Spectra's since the restart (sailed on her 5 times since Dec. 2021).

I'm not sure. We were on Anthem last November, and I thought there were aerialists. I'll check with my family.

 

I'm positive there were aerialists for the Book on Odyssey.

There were none on our December 3rd sailing. Seas weren’t particularly rough.

I've seen Spectra 3 times, all post covid and have never seen an aerialist.

I did see them in the Book, the one time I was on odyssey (also post covid).

6 times since 2021... and no aerialists.

I think this was a subject of complains.

I am OK either way.

At a recent question and answer session, they said Royal couldn't get enough of riggers to do it.
