Review summary
Loved this cruise! The ports were a little off the beaten track but that it made it more fun. The mostly Indonesian/Filipino personnel was extremely friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. Good value. Not that we needed it, but I was surprised there was no ginger tea, which is effective for seasickness, We did not book tours through the ship, though. They can usually be obtained for less locally in the different ports.

Ship tip
We especially appreciated the fact that there was a Catholic priest on board. We have attended interdenominational services on other ships but were pleased Catholic mass was celebrated on the ship. We have not experienced this on any other cruise lines.

I think that HAL is one of the remaining cruise lines to offer a Roman Catholic Mass on board. I enjoyed reading about your wonderful experience.
One aspect of cruising with HAL that I especially appreciate is that you earn bonus days for the excursions and other\ expenses that you incur while on board - even those that you pre-book. You move up faster in their loyalty program. HAL is my favorite cruise line. I especially enjoy the service that I receive by the staff. I also enjoy the variety of food choices on the MDR menus.
