I wanted sunshine and warm weather and it was almost perfect. Loved watching football playoffs at the pool. Food and service excellent as expected on a HAL ship.

Pools were crowded during sea days. Wish they would bring back cooking classes.

All the shows were very good but wish they had a bigger stage production like a musical.

Cabin / Stateroom

Verandah was two thirds obstructed by lifeboat. Everything else was great.
Beach was great. Lunch provided by ship was typical Beach buffet. Service was great and because I had a cane they helped me fill my plate and get settled st a table.
Getting on the tender was chaos and long wait. The semi submarine part of the tour was okay. The rest of the land and sea Excursion was awful. A quick stop at a beach for the view, a short stop for a rum cake tasting, and a drive that mostly pointed out expensive hotels was a waste of time.
Did your cabin have the large angled balcony? Deckplan looks like you did.
If so, how did you like it? Did you find any of the obstructions to be intrusive or take away from enjoying the balcony?
