Beautiful ship, classy cruise line. There is plenty to do on HAL but it’s less rowdy and more grownup than some cruise lines and that makes it a favorite for us.
Embarkation
2 out of 5
Three hour wait between airport arrival and transport to cruise terminal. When buses arrived, travelers who had just landed were transported first while those waiting for three hours had to wait dome more. Once at the cruise terminal, the process was very smooth.
