Review summary

Good cruise for people over 70. If you love playing card games and chilling, also great. If you are looking for exciting and diverse night life, not the cruise for you.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very fast and efficient

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Nothing exceptional but nothing awful either

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Not a huge diversity of activities, tailored to an older crowd

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Musicians could be great when within their range, but often ventured outside of that range leading to less than optimal performances. We were particularly excited for the dueling piano bar, but it didn't have much energy. Both of the performers were good/high energy, but not on the same nights.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Several staff were amazing, the rest were just there. Dinners were either rushed or strung out too long.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

Bathroom on the small size otherwise I'd rate it higher

Small bathroom must be a thing with HAL. I agree HAL is for an older group. Was on the Eurodam for my 73rd birthday. Felt I fit in.
