What to do, What to do?!!

First time cruisers may wonder what there is to do on a cruise ship at night?

There is so much you might not be able to fit it all in! Everyone has different expectations and tastes in evening entertainment whilst on board a cruise. Personally for me I love a Musical or a show! I often go to London and see a show on the west end so having this onboard on a cruise ship whist I am on holiday…included in the price is AMAZING! More and more Cruise lines are now introducing Musicals at Sea some lines are even chartering whole ships to Pop, Rock and Opera lovers with specialist themed cruises.

Here are a few you can see at sea…

Royal Caribbean on board Allure of the Seas is showing the ever popular Mamma Mia with an array of classic ABBA songs to get the whole audience singing along. Dancing Queen, Does your Mother Know and Knowing Me Knowing you will never sound the same again.

Grease is the word, onboard Harmony of the Seas and Independence of the Seas – The extraordinary show will include popular songs, including ‘Summer Nights’, ‘Greased Lightnin’’ and ‘Look at Me, I’m Sandra Dee’, performed by a brand new cast who have been hand-picked for the production.

Rock of Ages, a high-octane musical, can be seen on on board Norwegian Breakaway. This five-time Tony Award-nominated musical relives anthems of the 80s through the story of a small town boy and girl living in Los Angeles.

MSC Cruises has announced a unique, partnership with the world leader in artistic entertainment, Cirque du Soleil. They have created two exclusive shows, VIAGGIO and SONOR, each with a unique concept, ambiance, storyline, costumes and make-up.

For other people your evening meal can be enough followed by a night cap in one of the many bars and bed or a flutter in the casino. Some watch movies under the stars wrapped in a cozy blanket or listen to the artist in the piano bar. Quizzes, tribute acts and Comedians are also there to be enjoyed.

One other form of entertainment that I first enjoyed on a ship is a Silent Disco, I dragged my friend there because I knew it was going to be fun however she wasn’t so keen…but it was BRILLIANT, you were given headphones with 3 channels on with different music on each you could be dancing next to someone that is listening to something completely different, it was a brilliant atmosphere. We then went back most evenings and I have now been to a few on different ships.

As with everything on a cruise ship there is something for everyone!
