We board her on Saturday, hope LCS is still performing. We, too, are sad to read of the changes, it's always been something setting HAL apart. I remember when Azamara had a harpist on board, what a wonderful thing that was, sad to see it go, too. just as I make 3 star we'll be moving on unless this cruise changes our mind. Since the menus look the same as last October, this will probably be our last HAL cruise until things change.
