Enjoyed the service and food and drinks on HAL. Top notch staff! We really had a great time, but I having now done this once, we will not book a holiday week again.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Fairly fast and easy. Would have been even faster if I knew we were priority boarding at the beginning of the process not after step 2. Our boarding passes or our comms fro HAL informing us of our boarding time did not stipulate priority anywhere. Perhaps an oversight on my part, but in the end it was still all easy.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Drink service was superb and bev selection was terrific. Food was absolutely outstanding! HAL lived up to its reputation.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Pool / Fitness center. Downgraded a bit just because it was a holiday week, so as expected the ship was full and facilities were always crowded.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Music in the BB King club was fantastic. Piano bar not very good, Comedian was a B- at best. But again the BB All star band made up for it.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Bar waiter, dining room waiters and our room stewards all get 5 Stars!
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Beautiful. We also enjoyed the art and the ship models throughout the ship.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Great bed, spent lots of time on the balcony and it was overall quiet, which was at first a concern knowing we were just one floor below the Lido deck. Room was a great value
Ship tip
I would suggest going on cabin size larger than the Veranda Suite. I think rooms on Deck 7 would be the best place on the ship
