Review summary

I enjoyed our cruise, however, I was disappointed that the port days seemed to have been cut short due to having to be back on the boat at 2:30 most days.  The entire staff was friendly and eager to help in any way.  I did the like the special touch of the crew standing on the gangway saying goodbye at the end of the cruise.

Thanks for posting your first review here on the Website.

I always complain about short time in ports of call.  Really, 2:30, though, seems awfully early to leave all the ports.  It might be a good thing to check into this before you book your next cruise. 

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.  Last year, I took two cruises with HAL  and will take a long one next year.  We will be 4 star Mariners on our next cruise & I will look forward to complimentary laundry.    I hope that you will join in our discussions on the Forum.  We would enjoy your comments. I especially enjoyed this review since I have not cruised on this ship.
