I especially enjoyed this review since I have not cruised on this ship. HAL is my favorite cruise line. I took two cruises with HAL last year 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. Thanks for posting your interesting review. I hope that you will join in our discussions on the Forum. We would enjoy your comments. I am happy that you had a great cruise, despite your shoire excursion experience.
It is a shame that after spending all that money on the Dolphin excursion, that you were disappointed. My daughter & grand kids did a similar thing in Dubai and loved it. I hope that you get a chance to do it again and have as great an experience as they did. If you do, be sure to let us know.
