Review summary

The itinerary and shore excursions were wonderful as usual; even the weather was perfect every day.  A lot of the things we are used to have been deleted ie ice carvings, midnight buffet, games etc.  There was an extra emphasis on lectures about Brazil. The food quality has gone down but remains palatable once you figure out all the strange names.  As always the staff was exceptional.  Their friendly smiles and desire to make your cruise outstanding is what makes HALs

the attraction.
