  121. 2018 World Cruise Entertainers

That’s entertainment!

We enjoy the entertainment offered on Holland America and that’s one of the most enjoyable aspects of a World Cruise. Every night the ship is at sea, which is almost every night, except for the handful of overnights, there is a different show in the Queen’s Lounge. Most of the shows are live entertainment with only a couple of evenings where they would show a movie instead of having a performer.

Judy and I attended every live show when we were aboard the ship. We didn’t go to any of the movies this year.

We are big fans of Broadway musicals and subscribe to the Broadway San Diego series here at home where we see about 6 shows a year. The Holland America singers and dancers presented 10 different production shows on this World Cruise. We saw nine of the shows, but we missed the one when we were on our Safari in April.

Here is a 7-minute video that has brief clips of 70 different live acts we enjoyed on the cruise.

Here is a summary of the different types of shows:

Pop Singers and groups – 11
Comedians – 8
Instrumental Performances – 18
Solo Singer – 10
Acrobat – 1
Tango Dancer – 1
Cast Shows – 9
Magic acts and mentalists – 6
Local Culture – 6
