La Scala Theatre Review: Classic Entertainment Venue
Introduction. La Scala Theatre on Navigator has a classic elegance that sets the mood for evening entertainment. We attended shows every night and appreciated both the venue and the performances.
The Theater
Beautiful design with rich colors and classic theater styling. The name is appropriate—it feels like a scaled-down opera house. Sightlines were good from our orchestra seats about halfway back. Sound was clear throughout.
The Shows
We saw the main production show twice (early and late dining), a comedian, and a variety act. The production was well-done with talented performers. The comedian had the audience in tears laughing. Solid entertainment all around.
The Experience
Making La Scala part of our evening routine added structure to our nights. Dinner, then a show, then drinks at a nearby bar. The theater's location near the Royal Promenade made it easy to grab a cocktail before curtain.
Conclusion
La Scala provides quality entertainment in an elegant setting. The shows may not be quite as elaborate as on newer mega-ships, but the intimate atmosphere has its own appeal. Rating: 4/5.
