Review summary

we try to do a cruise with our entire family every couple of years. It's a great family/bonding experience ...we get together for dinner and events during the day but people also have their "own time."

 

We really like HAL.

 

We only had a few complaints:

 

The AC in the Crows Nest is way too cold. We were told there was a mechanical issue.

 

also, the last stop was Victoria. It was a waste of time. The ship arrived late and we re there for just a few hours.  We understand the issue of the Jones Act but there needs to be another solution.

 

Otherwise a great time.

My BF would be in heaven! We have to travel with a small fan. He calls himself a polar bear because he likes the cold.

I have found the room temperature of the Crow's Nest to be too cold on every HAL sail and I've sailed with them plenty. The only way I can enjoy the area is to wear long pants and a sweater.
