Review summary

Already mentioned everything above. We would cruise HA again!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Perfect and orderly! Even got on before our schedule time. Employees were super helpful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The service in the dining room was a little slow (approx 1-1/2-2 hours), but we were patient and the food was delicious! The buffet was a little crowded at times, but again patience is needed!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We purchased the Thermal Suite and so glad we did! Not many people at a time and we used it almost every day! The public pools were crowded most of the time.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The ones that we attended were good. Mostly music and dancing. Would have been nice to have magic shows, or decent comedians and more.

Children's Programs

Did not sail with children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The entire staff was doing their best the entire cruise. I felt like they were a bit short handed at times.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
It was great! First time on HA! We liked the smaller ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin itself was very comfortable. The only complaint is that we were sure what was going on behind or beside it as it was quite noisy during the night. Kitchen prep?? Thank goodness I brought my sound machine!

Ship tip

Have a lot of patience, relax and enjoy!!

Ports of call

San Diego, California

5 out of 5

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did not get off the ship as we’d been here before. Beautiful location tho.

Mazatlan, Mexico

5 out of 5
We didn’t get off the ship at this port as we’d been there before. Not much to see from the ship but tons of shipping containers!

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
We walked the beach and had lunch here and shipped!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It went well! The only thing that needs improvement is the communication between the port and the shuttle companies! We were directed to go to the van that was there, however he filled up quickly. When the best van came, they drove right past us (who were all lined up) yo another line of people in a different spot than the original van!!! The shuttle drivers were saying they don’t require lines and that they just pick up whomever, wherever! What?? We waited for 2 vans and still didn’t get on so paid for a taxi to take us to our car. That was disappointing after such a nice cruise!
