This is what I posted after my Alaska cruise on the Noordam:
The contract and affiliate fees for Lincoln Center Stage, America's Test Kitchen, Rolling Stone Lounge, etc., along with port fees and taxes, are increasingly expensive. HAL hopes to bring back LCS and ATK in some form, but they will be called something different.
Production shows and a ship band (remember the HAL Cats?) will be gradually brought back. One of the obstacles to doing this is that the musicians and performers that appear in the World Stage, Rolling Stone Lounge, and Billboard Onboard onboard can't perform in other venues according to the terms of their contract.
What is "mild music", and how old ARE you? Anyone born from the late 1940s on up was raised on rock 'n' roll. 🤪
