How does admission work?
Each guest will get to see Lynyrd Skynyrd twice - one general admission show on the Pool deck, and one indoor ticketed show in the ship's main theater. All other shows on board will be General Admission, so you can come and go as you please.
As you are making a reservation, you will be asked a series of questions designed to help tailor this experience to your cabin.
1. You will be asked for your cabin's preference for the ticketed headlining show. Lynyrd Skynyrd will perform twice in the main theatre at similar times on two different nights. Your entire cabin will be placed in the same show- people in the same cabin may not choose different shows.
2. You will be asked for your cabin’s zone seating preference. This refers to which “zone” or designated area of the theater you would prefer to sit in. The zones are based on real time availability and you will be placed in your zone according to when you picked it. For instance, if you are one of the first people to choose that zone, you will be seated in the front of the zone, if you are one of the last, you will be seated in the back of the zone. All zone selections are final, and are based on availability.
*Please note that ALL zones on the floor are standing room only. In zones 6 and below there will not be seats, but the area will be mapped out into designated squares with four people assigned to each one - two standing in front, two in back. Zones 7 and above will assigned one person per seat.
