Review summary

Wonderful holidaday cruise!! The entire HAL team worked very well to deliver a very safe and efficient cruise. The ship was in very good condition and the food quality was very good! Activities on board need updating. Would recommend HAL for a cruise holiday. A more refined/older demographic makes for a calm experience- great lob HAL!!

Clean and efficient in its design. Nice to be able to store 4 large suitcases under the bed and still have room for 2 drawers at the end of the bed!!
