Some of us like 200 year old music.

So do I! We had just a bit on HAL on an Alaskan cruise several years ago, along with an excellent Beatles tribute band and enough jazz and standards to please me as well. I wish there were more venues for classical chamber music! Maybe just one place on board and let all the others play what they wish.

.Hope your daughter is OK. Try to remember that the ship functions in many ways like an emergency room. Overall, the care on board is quite good. We've had a fracture missed in the ER that the orthopedist had no trouble diagnosing and treating!

We did an Alaska cruise on HAL a few years ago when my husband became seriously ill. The medical department was equipped with all kinds of equipment, medicines, etc., that I never would have thought would be available. We ended up being medivacced (spelling?) off the ship, to the hospital in Ketchikan, then on to Bellingham WA. The treatment he received on board the ship was truly life-saving and went way past what I expected, and the stewards took complete charge of packing us up and getting me off the ship and to the hospital in Ketchikan. Really wonderful experience, if you can call something so scary "wonderful."
