In the "Old" days 1990s and early 2000s Norwegian and Princess had lecturers on most cruises. Even Royal Caribbean also had them but not as many.
We really miss that feature particular during sea days.
On now in 2022 and on what lines have them? I really get tired of the silly games that the cruise lines are offering under "entertainment". And speaking of entertainment what has happened to the shows that most lines had 2 or 3 times a week? Not solo performers but a full cast and live music, not recorded music such as heard on Carnival and not in Los Vegas I hear.
We love cruising but miss the things of the past. So instead we bring books and Laptops on the cruise to find something reasonably intelligent to do.
I guess I can spend more money and cruise on Cunard and perhaps get what we are looking for but at a much higher cost.
Or maybe Norwegian or Celebrity? Also perhaps Princess but don't care a lot for their food.
One thing I do know, no more on small ships e.g. the Enchantment of the Seas with its poor food, poor entertainment, running out of various food items. On the last day of a recent cruise they took Orange Juice and diluted about 3 to 1 with water and served it as Orange juice.
Thanks for listening.
