Ship experiences

Onboard Activities
This ship has all the basic activities: hot tub/pool, fitness center, sports deck; but not extras, which was fine with us.
Entertainment
We enjoyed the shows. They were not extravagant but we enjoyed all the entertainment.
Children's Programs
There were very few kids, teenagers and young adults on the ship so although the teens and young adult enjoyed the time with their peers; the activities were limited.
Service and Staff
In general, it was good. At times it took a long time to get tables cleared/cleaned on the Lido deck, particularly around the pool. Also, my family found it interesting that servers were not going around the Lido deck offering drinks from the bar. This was particularly interesting since this is how the ship makes additional revenue.
Ship Quality
This is a smaller ship, which was fine for us, since we were looking for a relaxing time. It is probably one of the older ships that HA operates.
Cabin / Stateroom
The cabins were on the older side; however, the maintenance crew was good at responding to address a couple of maintenance issues my family experienced (TV, soap dispenser).
Ship tip
Get to know the layout of the ship as soon as you get to the ship. This will allow you to enjoy all activities and services offered.
