DAYTIME ENTERTAINMENT
On most cruises, a Day at Sea is a time for a good book and a nap. You may do that on McBride’s World at Sea, but you would be missing fun aspects of Christian’s world, including special interviews, Artist-Hosted Events, pool parties, lunch events and, of course, great music.
Daytime shows may be presented in any of the music venues (The Theatre, Rendezvous Lounge or Sky Lounge). Special shows may also be seen and heard on the pool deck or in The Cosmopolitan Restaurant, the main dining room of the ship. Daytime music shows are presented on a first come, first served basis.
NIGHTLY MAIN SHOWS
Each night is highlighted by our Main Shows in The Theatre. To ensure that every guest can attend each special show, shows are performed twice, sometimes on the same night, sometimes on alternate days. The Main Shows take place at 5:30 PM (1st Show) and 8:45 PM (2nd Show) most nights. Half the guests attend the first show and enjoy dinner afterwards. The other guests dine first and then attend the second show. Guests’ show selection was made at the time of their reservation and is confirmed by the color of their Cruise Identification card (BLUE – 1st Show / RED – 2nd Show).
CRUISING AFTER DARK
Signature Cruise Experiences’ programs are renowned for special late-night entertainment called “Cruising After Dark.” Starting around 10:30 PM, the entire ship will be alive with music, parties, comedy, dancing and much more. Besides concerts in The Theatre and Sky Lounge, The Cosmopolitan Restaurant is seamlessly converted into a lovely late-night, cabaret-style venue. The Rendezvous Lounge becomes a party “spot” that features dancing, karaoke, silent disco, special drinking games, cool food selections and revelry until the wee hours of the morning. Cruise Director Mario Vines and our favorite DJ patrol the Rendezvous Lounge making it fun for all.
