Review summary

Changes made to ship configuration are not an improvement. The Crow's Nest has been mad e into a library exclusively. We used to enjoy nightlife, live musicians and DJ music and dancing in this space before the changes were made, but no more. The rest of the entertainment on board was underwhelming. BB Kings music venue was OK, Billboard Piano Bar was OK, Mainstage entertainment was not great. There were no live musicians at all throughout the entire week on the pool deck (Lido). Most cruises have parties on the pool decks, but no this one. Service was exceptional as expected for HAL. Food was very good every night in all venues. The bars were out of limes for 4 days during the 7 day cruise. What? No margaritas? Not good.
