WannaCruise Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 My entertainment for Anthem just opened up (yah....seems really early). I'm a big fan of We Will Rock You and have seen it in my home city a few times years ago. The times are a bit awkward at 6:30pm one day, and on another day at 2:30pm and 6:30pm. This is a show that I'd be happy to see more than once., but I'm guessing the show fills up. Anyone know the likely hood of getting in on standby for the 2:30pm matinee? Do they completely sell out (esp when the other times conflict with early traditional dinner time)? As a separate note...can you typically pre-book the Headliner show on Anthem? We only have the 3 shows (so hard to know how to coordinate everything). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No headliner reservations. Other than the Gift no other main theater reservations are used on Anthem. Spectra's Cabaret is in Two70° and it also uses reservations.

WannaCruise Posted November 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Thanks for the quick . Yes...can book We Will Rock You, The Gift and Spectra. Thinking the 6:30pm on the Nassau day will be less busy? How long is We WIll Rock You? If we book it, then it would be Solarium or WIndjammer that night.

twangster Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 I booked the 6:30pm and will eat in the WJ most likely. This will be my 4th time seeing it. I love WWRY. It's listed on my calendar as 6:30pm to 8:20pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLMoran Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 If you stick around for the final number after the cast takes their bows, you won't be to dinner earlier than 8:30. My wife and I had seen the matinee showing last year, so when we saw it last month at the 6:30 showing we cut out at the cast bows and even then didn't get to our table in the MDR until about 8:20. Not the best on what was the final night of the cruise, with the wait staff already trying to get everyone served and deal with the servers' parade mid-meal.

Yes, we would stay to the end. We can't do the MDR that night as we have the early dinner time. (Or DS said he wants to go to the MDR so maybe DS and DH go for a quick meal before show meal. DD and I will grab something after as we like to line up early to get good seats). I see Solarium has an 8:30pm booking, which should be close based on your MDR timing, but probably Windjammer like twangster mentioned will work best.

WannaCruise Posted November 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 PS - I should say that for seeing it a second time...it would be just me, and possibly my DD if she enjoys the show (which she probably will). So would just need a single seat, or 2 seats at most together on stand by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt From Canada Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 We have seen WWRY twice now. The last 30 minutes are excellent. Three thoughts: 1) Both times everyone got in (Wait List as well). If you are wait listing, you may want to show up 20- 30 minutes early. Others are correct ... you may not get a seat. 2) We were in standing room for our wait list ... it was great. Much closer to some prime dancing spots. 3) If you show up late, just go in ... again, standing room for the last 30 minutes is a great combination. Have a blast, Curt from Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a blast, Curt from Canada Thank you for sharing! I am actually totally fine with standing (although my 10 year old may be be quite as ok). Good to know though that this is an option. Would definitely line up at least 30 min early for stand by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtp13 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 I am sailing Feb 7th. Probably the same sailing as the OP. I was trying to avoid lobster night. So I booked on the Nassau day. Also have early dining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found 2 old compasses of the 7 day Bahamas cruise and it looks like day 6, the sea day is formal night Not clear if you wanted to miss the MDR on formal night, or make sure you don't miss it. Nassau is day 5....so all good on my side. Hopefully that's what you wanted too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
