Review summary

Good to be back on HAL for the first time in 3 yrs

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Embarkation was slow due to three ships in San Diego at the same time. We had to keep our luggage with us until we were almost at security. We were able to get on the ship by noon.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The dining room food was excellent throughout the trip. We were disappointed that lobster is no longer offered on Gala nights. Pinnacle Grill was also a disappointment as the food in the main dining room was better.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We loved the BB King Blues club band and several comedians we saw on the ship. During the Sea Days we missed having the cooking demos from Americas Test Kitchen.
