elizbit Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 I remember reading somewhere that Radiance class ships have their Centrum outfitted for aerial shows. I just returned from a sailing on Serenade and the only shows in the centrum were all "ground" based on the stage on deck 4. We asked the bartender at the R bar about it, and he had never heard of it. On deck 12 or 13 you could see a platform above the centrum that looked to support moving ropes etc. so it seems like this was definitely a thing at one time. Wondering if they still do these shows and if not, why? We were looking forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baked Alaska Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Was on Radiance 2 months ago and there was no aerial show. We were on deck 10 and usually up in concierge lounge (deck 13) when not ashore, so I'm pretty sure we would have seen there being evidence of one if it existed.

WAAAYTOOO Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 The aerial shows did not last long at all. We saw exactly 1 before they discontinued them. We were told that they could not keep enough riggers on the small ships. I tend to believe this explanation.

elizbit Posted September 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 On my phone now, so I can attach the pictures I took of the platform. @WAAAYTOOO thanks for the reply! Interesting that they would invest in the set-up and not use it long term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 The short answer is the aerial shows are no longer performed. I've heard different answers over the years as to why, but it's been quite a while since they were last performed AFAIK. elizbit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
