Just coming off 10 days of upgrades she looked great and the workers are doing a awesome job in making her look so good. The workers throughout were gracious in assisting one's needs. The Tamarind was as great as we had read about. The MDR was very good with open dining, only bad thing was no lobster on a seven day holiday cruise. Lido far exceeded our expectations the food was very well with excellent flavor.Activities still need some work though. We would choose HAL again. The Hydro pool and it's thermal suite were worth it!! The Dive had great burgers and hot dogs worth waiting for. Exploration's Cafe was placed in a great quiet location. Embarkation and Disembarking was as smooth as we have never seen in our previous twenty plus cruises. The BB King, Billboards were great to listen and dance too. Did not get to see the Kitchen shows but it seemed well liked by those who did attend from what we heard.
