Production shows on Royal Princess?

[kad56]

Does anyone know which productions shows are currently playing on Royal Princess? I couldn't figure it out on the princess website. I'm sailing to Alaska this summer and I'm curious what's playing. I did see the press release about a new aurora show, but I'm curious about the Broadway style productions like Spotlight Bar and Rock Opera.

I didn't have any on my 4/6/24-4/27/24 Royal Princess voyage. Just Encore as a variety show, another variety show,  2 entertainers doing a solo song performance, comedians, a couple with hula hoops (yes, hula hoops), and musicians. 

 

OTOH many shows were reduced to 30 minutes so they could fit in 3 shows a night.

Was that a repositioning cruise? Then it's pretty normal.

OZ to Japan I guess.

Yes. They posted that we'd have Secret Silk but didn't.   

 

FWIW Trans-Atlantics are also 'repositioning' from Europe to Caribbean (or visa versa) and in November 2023 I had:

Sorry I don't have a screenshot of my 2022 Trans-Atlantic repositioning cruise but I saw shows on it. So not all repositioning (Trans-Atlantic or Trans-Pacific) cruises omit Broadway type shows.

 

Anyway I hope your right & my Sun Princess repositioning (Trans-Atlantic) cruise in September has them

I just saw Secret Silk on the Royal in March, when she was still sailing from OZ.
Not having ANY production show in 21 days is rare, of course.

 

The Majestic had production shows trans Pacific recently.

But the ship went straight thru the islands, when the Royal made a Japan week instead.

Don't know if japanese cruisers like western production shows.

There's a live report from the Diamond right now. Let's see.

I hope you're right that ending in Yokohama was the issue.

Hmm.... interesting. My trip on the Royal is to Alaska. I actually found a brochure that mentions Spotlight Bar, 5Skies, and Rock Opera as entertainment options:

So I'm hopeful.... I missed 5Skies on my last cruise and was hoping I'd get to see it on this now. But now I've checked out the marketing for Silk Roads and I'm hopeing for that one too. We'll see. I'm getting really excited for this trip.
