We met and had drinks with Tony Warne on the Oosterdam last year on the New Zealand cruise. She's not only talented and charming, but she also is quite dedicated to helping those afflicted with with diseases that cause pre-mature hair loss. After her wonderful performance, she spent the rest of the week on the ship hobnobbing with passengers. She seemed to be a wonderful person with a great heart.

We stayed in the jotel a couple of years ago and found it to be quite nice. Although we're Marriott Card Holders, the hotel was the pcik up point for HAL for our cruise. The hotel seem filled with HAL cruisers, and none of them complained to us ( even thought we were all in a room that could have elicited such complaints.) The best way to see the city is to jump on a tram. They're easy to follow. The concierge was very helpful in recommending restaurants with in (sometimes long) walking distances. We enjoyed our stay there.
