Do HAL ships still have Crew Show late at night towards the end of a cruise?

Years ago on the Veendam, the crew had a show around 11 PM. They were singing and dancing and it was wonderful. I hope the crews are still doing that.  Thanks in advance for any answers.

We had none ( nor did we expect one) on our Sea of Cortez a few months ago. With staffing shortages I would not expect one.

On all our cruises last Sept. through April, no cruise shows.  With staffing shortages and covid, I, too, would not expect them.

We are currently on Oosterdam in Europe, and only tonight we spoke with a couple of crew members about the shows.  They said that they had great fun rehearsing and performing them and their hope was that they would be restarting soon.

Not this year, maybe in the future.  The crew and the passengers, surprisingly, miss a lot of the same traditions.  They may come back.

We were on the Zuiderdam in March for 35 day Hawaii So Pacific cruise.  The crew had their show on return leg of voyage in the afternoon. We thought that unusual.  But it was great and packed with standing room only.  Several passengers commented after the show it was better than the evening shows they had attended with the professional entertainers.

I remember being on 14 day cruises and there would be a show one week by the Filipino crew, next week Indonesian crew.  They were done late, like 11pm, and when you entered the theater they would hand out balloons and you blew them up and batted them around… (or maybe that was on Princess…).  EM

Same thing for us - on that cruise IIRC, the performance was in the afternoon - very nice too.

the others were always at 11 pm.  Including our last cruise in 2019.  Alwas enjoyable.
