Just thought of this in the context of my upcoming Bermuda cruise – If the ship is staying in a port overnight, are there still shows in the main theater / ice rink / other main venues? With so many presumably staying off-ship for dinner that night and/or roaming around port until late, I'd think the ship would give the entertainment staff a night off, but then again maybe just enough stay on board / come back early on average that they just cover their bases anyway? I'd love some first-hand-experience feedback on this. Partly because it would help me make the judgement call better about buying the drink package. ? How about in the pubs and other smaller public venues? Do those take a night off from live performances, or do they keep those ones going for the people who come back earlier in the evening / never get off the ship? I remember on Freedom that the guy performing in the pub told me he was only there for 7 out of the 8 nights, and got one night off mid-way to get a break. Seems like that overnight in port would be a sensible time to do that if it's standard policy.
