Arriving early for stageshows - Wish

[closetmickey]

My upcoming Wish cruise is just about sold out. What time do we need to arrive to the stageshows (first show as we have late dining) to find a seat? We dont need to be front and center but we would love 4 decent seats together. Thank you!

We had second show times but always generally arrive 30 minutes prior when we want good seats and all together
For larger parties we have done last minute also. But then either sacrifice seating together or “good seats” not like there are many “bad” seats in that house

They don't open the doors until 30 minutes prior and people start lining up 45 minutes to an hour before.

I've never had a problem. I'm not one to feel like I have to have the best seat in the house....as mentioned, not many (if any) bad seats.

BTW, if you plan to be there when the doors open, have your whole group. Seat saving highly discouraged. If the cruise staff don't call you on it, other cruisers will.

Very much agree. We have seen almost all the shows multiple times, so a particular seat isnt always that important. And just like at WDW, the experience and sound is great wherever one sits.

Our "secret" is that we typically walk down on the far right or far left and can almost always go down to the 5th ~ 15th rows, and then find seats closer to the center. We are usually 10~15 minutes early to everything, but we can find good seats this way, even 5mins after the lights go out.

Another plus, is that exiting via the outside aisles is MUCH faster.

We were on the Wish last week. The show on the first night didn’t fill up. Little Mermaid and Aladdin got completely full and some people didn’t get to see them (sadly, we missed Little Mermaid). I would recommend 30 minutes early to guarantee seats. We got to Aladdin 20 minutes early and barely any seats were still available. Have fun on your trip!!

Showed up 15 mins early with full ship and still had no trouble getting seats for 1st showing.

The first show was no problem! We walked in one minute before that show and got seats on the side. The other two shows filled up and some people didn’t get seats!

Lol I meant first seating of the show. 6pm

But I do agree. More people went to see mermaid and Aladdin, which kinda sucks for the ones who missed it cause I thought the first show was the best show with the best singers
