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!!
