Review summary

We enjoyed visiting the Easter Caribbean. The ship was lovely and the staff were very warm and friendly. Great food and a good gym. We had great shore excursions - snorkeling at Grand Turk Island and sailing/snorkeling in St. Thomas. We missed the kayak tour in Peurto Rico because it was fully booked. We also really enjoyed the day at Half Moon Cay. The only negative comment would be that most of the on board activites were marketing sessions to generate sales - eg.watch demonstration, jewlery info, health info etc.

HAL is my favorite cruise line.  I was wondering if you took any shore excursions in your ports of call?
