The HAL wine stewards are generally pleased as punch to find someone who genuinely knows and appreciates wine, so they're happy to talk about their stock. But HAL has been downscaled somewhat since Carnival started making it like their other lines. HAL used to have wine promotions onboard with some good, unexpected finds.

Knowledgeable wine stewards with a great variety. New Zealand sauvignon blanc to California zins, a mix of old and new worlds with prices for the 20's into the 500's. Crystal and Carnival are worlds apart - Carnival sells bargain cruises and makes it up on the add-ons, Crystal has the high initial tariff but is very reasonable from then on.
