Sounds of Music

We have been on five cruises so we are writing this letter with some experience. In the June 6 Cruise Views column, “On Seagoing Shows, Anything Goes,” there was a long description of entertainment on cruise ships. What it didn’t mention is that if you take several cruises with the same line, you see the shows over and over again. This is boring and insulting to the passengers.

The article also did not cover the various bands, duos and trios playing in the cruise ship lounges and lobbies and the fact that they are all too loud, using microphones and amplifiers adjusted to an ear-piercing volume.

Will we stop going on cruises to drive home to the cruise companies that most of the passengers are not in the 20-30 age group and should also be catered to? Many golf resorts will happily take our money and give us what we want.
