Anyone else not into the dinner shows on new ships?

[ladyofthetramp]

I don't care for them-they are just too loud. If they weren't so constant and the volume was a bit lower, I wouldn't mind so much. The Marvel one was not for me-at all.

I just think there should be a reasonable alternative for those who prefer to have a more relaxing meal time. Not pool food or room service.

The sit down option at Cabanas was really perfect. Quiet. The same food as the main dining rooms - although not as much choice. Limited hours but you could eat when you wanted - I think between 5 and 7?

Go ahead and have the shows! Just give folks a choice besides chicken fingers and soft serve for dinner.

I like one show on a cruise but not every night. We also enjoy dinner time to regroup with family and friends and talk about our day and plan for the next. I'm hopeful that on the longer itineraries on the new ships we will have quiet dinners also. I'm sticking to the older ships anyway as we prefer them but do want to try the Treasure just to see the interior design.

We haven't done them yet but am looking forward to Coco, not excited for Marvel. My main concern is my son is really noise sensitive and I'm afraid he's going to be stuck wearing noise cancelling headphones all dinner. We requested 1923 for 3 nights and plan on skipping a Marvel dinner when we go on the Treasure this fall. I'm interested to see if our opinion changes after actually going lol.

I haven't been on the Wish class ships yet- but I LOVED the dinner show on the Magic. Rapunzel's Royal Table was fantastic and Animator's Palate has always been my favorite on the original 4 ships!

Its not even like the show is the entirety of dinner. Its what 20-30 minutes max of a 60-90 minute dinner? There is still plenty of time to talk and enjoy the food.

Just off the Treasure. For me, Marvel was more likable than the Coco restaurant. Coco is very loud, and I emphasize very. You are in one huge dining room with the tables very close together. If you have a noise sensitivity issue, I would recommend sitting in the far back corners by the windows if possible. I was most looking forward to Coco, but my mind quickly changed after about the first 15 minutes. I also didn’t care for their menus, even ordered off of the kids menu the second night, in which they were completely accommodating. The first night, I had some sort of spice that did not agree with me off the main menu.

Really didn't love Coco on the Treasure. I liked Arendelle on the Wish, but Coco was WAY too much... It was so loud, and the food wasn't even great. It actually ruined the whole cruise experience for my husband, he hated Treasure because of it. He had kids meals some of the nights at dinner.

agree 100% with this and of course we had it nights 1,4, and 7 lol I just kept drinking beers these nights haha

We agree that COCO is WAY to loud as well as crowded!!!!
You get seated and while you are ordering the performers come out and you cannot hear the server.
And we agree the food is not that great also!!
It seems like they have tried to Americanize Mexican food and also tried to make it fancier for the cruise ship.
Why can't they just make it simple?
I don't know why the performers come out while you are eating.
No one is paying any attention to them.
I can understand them performing right after you order while you wait for your food but that is enough.

If your son is noise sensitive he will definitely need his head phones in COCO.
Marvel is nothing compared to COCO! It is still a little loud at times. Just not through the whole dinner time like COCO.
We really prefer Marvel to COCO.
Better food and quieter.

Just did the fantasy and the lack of dinner shows was a real let down. There isnt anything magical about enchanted garden and royal table. Without the dinner show its just a noisy mess hall vibe with average food that became a boring experience. Thankfully palo and Remys was amazing but thats just for the adults. Animators plate also great when they put things on the screens although the crush night is a bit of let down.

In fact the lack of dinner show probably stops me from choosing the Fantasy ever again. It really is a key part of a good dcl cruise.

Awesome glad they havent toned down the music for Coco. Looking foward to it when I get to the Treasure.

I guess I’m in the minority here. I LOVED the dinning shows ( haven’t been on the Wish or Magic yet) . Really enjoyed Coco. For us not too loud. I didn’t think I would like the marvel show but was surprised that I did enjoy it. Wish we could see the lion king show on the destiny but not crazy about Marvel theme ship so we canceled our booking. Enjoyed Tiana’s jaz.
Not sure if this helped with the noise factor but we were late dining and there is just the two of us. No kids.
