Was on NS March 17-24 and the entertainment/activity offerings were abysmal. No welcome aboard presentation, no EXC talks and very limited use of the World Stage. Cruise Director Stephane said that World Stage was closed for new production rehearsals for 3 weeks. Unfortunately, those new productions "Song & Dance" and "All That" were not good. Besides the 2 musical shows, there was one comedian (did two shows) and another comedian/magician once. At least 3 of the 7 nights offered no poolside movie. The Rolling Stone musicians were not charismatic (or good) and the Billboard pianists were so-so. The BB King All Star band was the exception - they were fantastic and gave us something we looked forward to each night. Holland excels in many areas - their entertainment/activity programming is not one of them.
