Thanks for sharing your cruise.

No fridges in stateroom except for suites is a big minus for me with HAL.This was a big concern for us on our last two cruises that ran 92 days total on two back-to-backs.    I understand that the newest ship will have them in staterooms - I hope so.  Otherwise I love HAL.  The food and service are great.
