Additional details
My wife, Lynn; and I flew down and met my son, his wife, Yoko, and their two kids. We spent Saturday night in a motel and went to the cruise port in the late morning.
Embarkation: Well organized and smoothly conducted. We had immediate access to our rooms and the luggage came quickly.
We had a small Cruise Critic M&G in the Captain's Corner of the Crows Nest Bar on deck 10. That had to be set up through Facebook, but HAL's Facebook social space is fairly lame in terms of activity and not any threat to Cruise Critic.
Cabin Review
Cabin 6111, a superior mini-suite. Good drawer and closet space, but not the best. No walk-in closet, but the closet area has a curtain that converts it into a dressing room. Floor space and balcony quite spacious. Four chairs a table and a side table on the balcony and two ottomans that can serve as fifth and sixth seats for cocktail hour and other get togethers. Bathroom is spacious with double vanity. Two medicine cabinets, a whirlpool tub with shower, and a separate glassed in shower, which is what we used daily. Best room I've had on a ship in twenty cruises. Two desk areas, good shelving, long sofa that flips into a single bed. A storage ottoman that serves as a vanity chair, plus two other chairs in the room. 24 inch flat screen TV with a DVD player and access to a large DVD library.
