Anyone else not into the dinner shows on new ships?

[jwalk03]

I disagree. When I book a cruise, I'm booking the ability to choose what movies I go to, what ports I visit, what stage shows I attend, what I order from the menu, etc. The only difference with dinner shows is that you're captive. There's no way to choose to avoid them other than selecting very limited alternatives from room service and pool deck venues.

Or to book a different cruise that doesn’t have them?

YES, that is what we have chosen to do.

I have only been sailing DCL recently. Do other cruise lines ALSO do 'dinner shows' with no alternative quiet option??

No on other lines they would be an optional upcharge. In the beginning the idea of not having a main dining room was good but now it seems like they are doing way to much.
