Review summary

Absolutely incredible. We did a back to back and wouldn't change anything. The service and food was a very high standard. Our cabin was wonderful. Great amenities. The ship was stunning with fresh flowers all around. Entertainment was great and just what we like. I found things to do in the day and the evening in BB's was great. Incredible food. We went a few times to the Asian restaurant because it was so good. Even the dive in burger place was good, I still miss the dive in sauce and fries! Fresh pizza to take away so you can have a movie and pizza night in your cabin after a long day in port. The spa was worth every penny and we used it every day. A lovely afternoon nap on the heated loungers after a dip in the thermal pool refreshed us ready for the evening. HAL is a hard one to beat!

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin was wonderful. Our cabin steward was amazing and nothing too much trouble. Great balcony with chairs and footstools. Bathroom a little cramped and the bath was too small to bathe in properly. Great Elemis products in the bathroom too. Gorgeous bath robes.

Ship tip

The spa package was worth it. Buy a drinks package.
