EVENING SHOWS
Other than enjoying fine dining in the main restaurants, the evenings onboard are the time for shows. There are numerous entertainments offered from sunset to midnight, including a daily large-scale production show or cabaret act performed in the Princess Theater (or in the Vista Lounge occasionally), plus continuous dances, parties, music and games around various venues.
Located forward of Deck 6 and Deck 7, the two-deck-high Princess Theater is the biggest performing venue on the ship with over 700 seats and a large stage. Production shows are usually performed here by the resident singers, dancers as well as the musicians in the small orchestra. Other smaller shows can be scheduled in the Vista Lounge or the Explorers Lounge, situated aft and amidships of Deck 7 respectively.
Day 1: Welcome Aboard Showtime "One Night Only" and Comedy Night with Rollin' Jay Moore
The show at the first night had only one seating at 21:00 in the Princess Theater for all passengers. It was composed of several parts. First of all the Cruise Director Frank Castiglione introduced the members of the Entertainment Team who are mainly from the USA. Then there was a video about various public rooms of Golden Princess, followed by a few scenes of welcoming show called "One Night Only" performed by the singers and dancers. Finally the audience could enjoy a 15-minute comedy act by Rollin' Jay Moore, a comedian who has already performed on the stages of many Princess Cruises' ships.

Day 3: The International Crew Talent Show
A number of shows were presented tonight. At 22:15 in the Princess Theater, there was The International Crew Talent Show in which some of the outstanding crew brought a variety of performances to the audience. One of the highlights was "If I Were Not Upon The Sea", a very typical song on cruise ships' crew show. Each member of the Entertainment Team played a role of different professions, such as Sergeant Major, blackjack dealer, tennis player, nurse, barber and ballerina. Then it came the singing, guitar playing and dancing by some cabin stewards and waiters. Finally a mime was performed by the Entertainment Team. For more choices, passengers could also go to the Vista Lounge to watch the production show "Motor City" again at 20:30, and another late-night adult-only comedy show with Rollin' Jay Moore at 23:30.
