What a fantastic ship and more than anything else the crew from the captain to the state room attendants it could not have been any better. The food was incredible and super delicious if anything too much, our first time on HAL but won’t be last, If there was one slight negative it was the entertainment which catered for old clientele
Everything was as we expected. On board the ship the food was produced and well presented well. There could have been a few more choices in the dining room though.. The accommodation was good. Looked after by 2 very efficient crew. The crows nest is a little tied, well used seats leaking front viewing windows (buckets used in very hard storm. We went on six organised excursions all well organised and informative. Very well organised embarkation.
Very good ship. Dining was great
It wasn't too big which we prefer, so easier to get around .
