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
