Bulzie

What time do the big shows in the main theater usually start? If we have the late dining, will we miss out on the shows? Do they just have 1 show a night or do they do an early and late show? Going on Dream in May, would they already have the list of shows or do you have to wait until you get onboard?

asalligo

I think it varies slightly, but 8:15pm and 10pm on my last cruise. I just checked the fun times for the Dream in March. Two shows most nights.
