Excelent experience. HAL does not dissapoint. Taken care of exceptionally well from start to finish. Alaska is a must-see.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Overall, fairly smooth. Plenty of friendly staff to guide the process. Due to a low tide issue, and earlier deoarture time we were asked to disregard our assigned boarding time and arrive sooner. This meant more peiple at one time. However, we were one of the first groups to arrive, so that helped to expedite once they were aet up & ready for us.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Dining room was beautiful, attended well. Mostly very good service. A few mornings, at breakfast, a little slow but understandable w so many at one time. Food was excellent, portions plentiful. Would have liked a little more variety of menu, but afain how do you please so many different tastes. Pinnacle Grill experience top notch and worth the up-charge. You are treated like royalty.

Wasn't even expecting an oceanview. Last minute upgrade was given. Excellent size, plenty of extra storage space, and loved the shower with a door. Comfotable and very clean.
Ship tip
Exolore and experience as much of the ship as you can can. Lots of hidden treasures.
Incredibly beautiful. Arrived 2 days early to get to know the area. So unique and a great outdoorsy, urban vibe. Did an indepe ndent half-day tour with Land and Seas. We saw so much and just enough. Would love to visit again someday.
