Review summary

The entire staff were extremely pleasant and helpful and the quality of the food was generally good.  Breakfast and lunch buffets had choices but was pretty disorganized which caused a lot of standing in line.  Our two biggest concern were the lack of lectures and the quality of the entertainment.  The only lecture was a class on transitioning to Windows 10.  The entertainment, with the exception of the BB King Jazz Show was poor.  Apparently the repeat customers on HA knew that because none of the shows, with the exception of Christmas Eve, were well attended.  The Christmas Eve show featured members of the crew singing Christmas songs in their native language and that was cute.

The cabin layout was not as good as other similar lines. The closet is opposite the bathroom door so if the closet door is open you cannot get to the bathroom or walk out the door. The mattress was quite hard.

Add: three Novembers ago we had the TEMPTATIONS crossing the Atlantic. THEY ROCKED THE SHIP. Last year a surprising Ukelele band from Liverpool...so fun.

I don't know why but HAL can't seem to get the "Broadway show" concept right. Five years ago on the Nieuw Amsterdam I felt 90 years old, the show pandered to that crowd. Then last March the Eurodam the show was blasting ultra modern music aimed at knobby pre teens (who were all at home in Middle School). Something's wrong. When I go to a HAL big show, I am prepared for the worst or at best a laugh
