Review summary

Overall, the cruise and HAL were very good. My wife broker her arm in Amsterdam two days before embarkation. While this put some limitations on our cruise, HAL and its staff were totally accommodating her needs and limitations.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

It was evident from the entertainment that HAL is cutting back. The stage shows were mediocre; but, the magician was very good. The local talent brought aboard in Iceland was pathetically poor. The music venues (except for the dueling pianos) were outstanding. The lecturer was superb.
