Sail Date: Mar 2004
Cabin: Signature Superior Verandah Suite

Our first cruise on HAL's Vista class ships. We liked the new size, rides comfortably and doesn't seem overcrowded in spite of 1800 passengers. Our cabin was roomy, and the verandah large and well furnished with large table, chairs and chaises. One minus on the cabin was the uncomfortable sofa. It was too deep as it turned into a single bed. It was slippery leather with equally slippery satin pillows. Never did comfortable. This needs to be improved.

Dining rooms and other public rooms were quite handsome. Late seating was our favorite. Service was excellent as was the food. Missed the opportunity to dine in the Pinnacle restaurant but heard it was excellent.

This became our favorite HAL ship and we have booked on the new Westerdam for a Christmas cruise, with the same 8073 cabin. We are of the senior group but were pleased to see quite a few families on board.
