Overall the cruise did its job, I wanted a relaxing and non-thinking vacation and that is what was provided. The HAL has an older crowd (70+) and will probably not sail with them again. Not enough on board activities during the day or evening times.
Embarkation

Fast and easy
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Food was pretty good, service in the dinning room was slow on the two nights we ate in the dinning room
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
There were not enough on-board activities. Other than drinking and some insipid movies at night there was not much to do in either the night time or during the day. Some suggestions would be Karaoke, Bingo, Dance Classes, Classic movies, a wider range of art for the art auctions, most to art was way too expensive and out of range for the average middle class person.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
The entertainers that came on board were excellent, the ship's singers and dancers left a lot to be desired. The different music venues were for the most part excellent but some tended to play the same songs every night. Lincoln Center Stage was excellent with a great range of music.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Overall the service was very good, everyone was very friendly and tried to really help and respond to requests.
Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
While the shower was excellent and overall the bathroom was easy to use, the room between the toilet and the shower was not great and for either a tall person or a large person they would need to sit on the toilet with their knees and their feet in the shower.
