The staff is among the best at sea. They are friendly, eager to please, and well-trained. There is an abundance of staff to handle any request. We did not have to wait in any bar, restaurant or public area to be served. The food was varied and well prepared. Dinners were just as described on the menu and well presented. The entertainment was varied (including a comic, a magician, a singer/dancer and the HAL singers, dancers and band. There was something to appeal to anyone. “-jpatrick1
