Embarkation was very simple and easy, crewe were friendly but we didn't partake of much of the entertainment on board.

Great cruise experience. Had a little problem at first with the heating in our cabin but it was quickly and helpfully resolved.

Was our 40th anniversary and the extra attention on the day surpassed anything else on other cruise lines. Thanks very much to all the staff on board who were brilliant.
Dining was excellent in both the main dining room and the Pinnacle.
Excursions on the ship were too pricey. Most passengers I spoke to advised they like us were getting a better deal ashore but without the security element from HAL. Worth the risk if can save $100 per person in some ports
Great itinerary but had a lot of sea days that had very little entertainment via the main theatre or lectures during these days.

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.

Our cabin was spacious and comfortable. Dining was a pleasure and the ship was easy to manoeuvre around. Loved the talk on the History of Faberge and the chance to see Faberge Eggs - Brilliant. We also enjoyed the BBC Planet Earth programmes.

Seems pointless writing a cruise review if it will not be published if you do not agree with the comments.
