Ship experiences

Food and Dining

All the dining venues are excellent but the Asian inspired Tamarind is our favorite.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There is something for everyone. I especially liked the flower arranging class, origami folding and coloring classes. My husband played Bridge twice a day on Sea days.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were mostly good. The best evening was when the couple who play the dueling pianos in Billboard Onboard played the World Stage. Awesome!

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every person working on the ship is there to make you happy. They will go above and beyond to see you get what you want or need.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
HAL is known as the spotless fleet and it shows!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This was a Vista Suite and is a nice size for any length of cruise. The TV needs to have a swivel so you can watch from the sofa.

Ship tip

Don’t pay extra for CO on this ship. The dining venue is an uncomfortable space.
