grandegal Posted August 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I read that George and Lena have left the Koningsdam. Can anyone tell me who is playing there now? We will be on the ship in November, and I am disappointed that someone different is there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted August 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Somebody playing now might not be there in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOPMan Posted August 25, 2023 #3 Share Posted August 25, 2023 We were on a cruise last year. It was one and done for one of the performers. Great voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpnr Posted August 26, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2023 We have only had one cruise where the Billboard performers were any good. The others were really bad. Since HAL isn’t spending any money on big broadway style productions, one would think that they could get a more talented group for Billboard. Just my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly they are talented individuals and only some gel together as a duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandegal Posted August 26, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted August 26, 2023 George and Lena had worked together before the cruise, so they really were entertaining. I thought entertainers worked on a cruise longer than three months, so I hoped I could get a review. Thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting rid of Billboard Onboard not only wouldn't cost them anything, it would save them the cost of one musician! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julia Posted August 27, 2023 #9 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Lena and George were enjoyable the first few times, but on our 35 night trip, they became nails on a chalk board.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pinnacle ships have more choices. The list on the current HAL website is not totally up to date based on reports from current cruisers across the fleet. Add in music in the Ocean Bar on the non-Pinnacle ships which I enjoyed. Some evening trivia or a game show sometimes. Movies on the Lido Pool deck on Pinnacle ships. There are usually a couple comedian shows per week. Cruise Ship Entertainment | Holland America Line Read some of the "Live From" reviews on the ships you are interested in and they will have the most up to date info. Have fun researching!! ~Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
