This is a ship better suited for older travelers who care about service and fewer activities.

Not all services or products provided by independent contractors are good values. Lots of attempts at upselling. The ship internet service is overpriced. Obtaining a local SIMM card for your phone may provide you with adequate access to the internet while the ship is in port.

Ask your travel agent if any large tour groups have booked on. We had the displeasure of being invaded by a group of 800. Their comped specialty dining and drinks package distracted from our experience.

It was our longest cruise to date, so we didn’t have a lot of experience. It was our first time in Europe for leisure. It was our first time cruising with HAL and there was a lot we didn’t know. The best advice I could give would be to download the Navigator app and read your daily ship’s bulletins. Choose quality over quantity and be selective as to how you spend your time...make it count. Don’t feel like you have to be doing something all the time. Relax.

Don’t worry too much about excursions. It was our first cruise and I was freaked out and overwhelmed. We didn’t end up booking anything through the ship as we could do it all on our own for a FRACTION of the price. We researched the port a day in advance, watched their exc presentations and booked a tour or shuttle once off the bus.

Do not expect shows in the theater that are extravaganzas.

Use the stairs as much as you can.

Don’t expect entertainment to be like other cruise lines or you will be disappointed
MrOceanTravel
Fantastic service and food throughout the entire ship! Huge and comfortable cabin!

Don’t look for a lot of entertainment and don’t look for water slides or rock climbing walls
