Aboard specialist ships, such as those offering expedition cruises, or tall ships, where entertainment is not a feature, it is the lecture programme that forms this portion of the evaluations.
The score reflects the overall entertainment programme and content as designed and targeted to specific passenger demographics. The entertainment has to appeal to passengers of widely varying ages and types.
Included is the physical plant (stage/ bandstand) of the main showlounge; technical support, lighting, follow spotlight operation and set/ backdrop design; sound and light systems (including laser shows); recorded click-tracks and all special effects; variety and quality of large-scale production shows (including story, plot, content, cohesion, creativeness of costumes, relevancy, quality, choreography, and vocal content); cabaret; variety shows; game shows, singers; visual acts; bands and solo musicians.
