‘70s ROCK & ROMANCE CRUISE PROGRAMMING
To help you better prepare, we will post our onboard show and events schedule on our website late February. We hope this enables you to better plan your days and schedule dining around the events you want to attend. Check back regularly for any updates as we fine-tune our time onboard.
During the course of the cruise, we will continue to have special events:
- 2025 ‘70s Rock & Romance Cruise T-Shirt Party: Queen Nation will rock you at the pool like only they can. Wear your official 2025 ‘70s Rock and Romance Cruise T-Shirt to enjoy select complimentary soda, punch, beer and wine during the show.
- Music Trivia and Gameshows: Exciting celebrity-interactive gameshows are being prepared so brush up on your knowledge of lyrics and song titles!
- Karaoke: We bet most of you have sung the hits in the shower BUT would you step up to a mic and sing it in front of a live audience?
- Keep an eye on your inbox for more announcements about celebrity-led events!
CELEBRITY THEATER PERFORMANCES
Every guest will have the opportunity to see a nightly show based upon the designated Seapass card color (gold for early show and silver for late show).
To ensure that the entry and seating procedure is both fair and easy, we have adopted the following policies and procedures:
- You must present your Seapass card to the ushers at the entrance in order to enter the theater for the appropriate show time.
- There are four entrances to the Celebrity Theater, two on Deck 4 and two on Deck 5. No other entrance is available for guests.
- Doors will open for each show approximately 30 minutes before the scheduled show time. Seats are not assigned and can be selected on a first-come first-served basis.
- Guests are advised to come to the theater with their entire party as we don’t allow the saving of seats.
- Guests who interfere with the fair and safe entry into the theater may risk forfeiting their rights to attend that show or other shows. Our goal is to provide the best entertainment experience for all our guests, and we request that you treat all guests and staff with respect. Any behavior that disrupts the enjoyment of other guests will result in removal from the show by security staff.
- The taking of flash photos and recording of the shows violates our contracts with the performers. Since it is impossible to easily discern what type of equipment can record, no electronic equipment of any kind will be allowed in the theater during shows.
DINING OPTIONS
MAIN DINING ROOM INCLUDED IN CRUISE FARE
Your Seapass card is color-coded and will either be Silver (6:00 PM - Early Dinner Seating) or Gold (8:30 PM - Late Dinner Seating).
- As both dinner seatings are completely full, we will be unable to accommodate any requests to switch your dining time.
- If your travel party would like to dine together every night, please call our office to request a table assignment. The letter with your assigned table number will be delivered to your stateroom onboard. Guests will enter the Main Restaurant on Deck 5.
- Guests who do not want a table assignment should gather their entire dining party and enter the Main Restaurant on Deck 4 to be seated.
