@jerendelle: Respect live theatre. Respect art. It truly feels like theatre decorum is lost and many adults in the room are the problem. If you choose to see a show, choose to respect everyone that’s making the show happen. #disneycruiseline #disneycruise #disneydestiny #broadway #theatreetiquette
Theatre etiquette is non existent anymore, even on Broadway…and as a former theatre kid, it drives me nuts.🤬

I was on the ship last week. As soon as the lights went down for Hercules, the woman in front of us, pulled out her phone and was scrolling at full brightness. We asked her to put it away, and she was arguing with us because she wasn’t taking photos or video. We were like that’s not the point, it’s really disturbing. Then half her family got involved. I had to go get a cast member, and the cast member asked her to put her phone away, and she started yelling at him. The daughter even told him to F off several times. Instead of removing them, though, he ended up just walking away, and she at least turned down her brightness. But she was on her phone the entire show. I had a really hard time enjoying it because I couldn’t focus. I don’t know if the actors could see it from the stage since we were on the side, but I know a LOT of people, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that included actors, heard the kerfuffle.

We just finished a back to back on the Destiny. Our first half was wonderful and everybody was great. Our second half was another story. We were sat by a great if 15 people who let their children do whatever they wanted. Running around and screaming and almost took me out. The CMs even noticed the shift

Because people are rude & have no home training. I hate to be that blunt but it’s the truth. We experienced this on the Wish too. Also, during one of the theater shows we went to, a kid threw up behind us on the floor & they all stayed for the show with the kid complaining the whole time & just let the throw up sit there. We ended up leaving

If people don’t want to see the show, they need to go elsewhere. Not interested? Leave! The rest of us want to see and hear the show!

That literally makes me upset for the performers and those that genuinely want to watch the show. This breaks my heart to hear about 😢

Disneyland Resort Paris Tips🏰 :
I agree, however, there is one problem: Disney decides on the cruise where you eat. The rotational dining removes options. If you want a full meal (not grab a snack from the pool deck), but do not want to see a show during your meal, you have no other restaurant to go to. Besides paying options, you cannot say 'I will go to one of the other MDRs'.

BISCUIT! Was on the Disney wish and during little mermaid show, made the mistake of sitting close to the door. The amount of grown up’s coming in 10, 15 and 20 minutes late full on talking as they walked through the door while show fully going, actors even running up the aisles was INSANE and again mostly Adults in this case too 😐 def missing coming courtesy these days it seems!

This is unfortunately true across all live theatre now. I saw Joe Turner on Broadway with Taraji P Henson and Cedric the entertainer. There were so many people talking during the show. A STRAIGHT PLAY. So many phone ringers went off. I saw flash photography….mind you they put stickers over our camera when we came in.

It’s one thing to talk while you are eating, but once the show starts be respectful and shut your mouth..
