Sail Date: Mar 2016
Cabin: Deluxe Ocean-View Verandah Stateroom

It was refreshing to see so many children on a HAL cruise. Usually the youngsters are in their sixties, but this cruise had over 400 kids.

Biggest complaint was embarkation. The wait was awful, and then we discovered that it was due to the photographers taking 20 shots of everyone going onto the ship. It was a bottleneck.

The ship itself was nicely done. I enjoyed all of the old pictures of New York.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Ocean-View Verandah Stateroom

Cabin VB

nice cabin with larger balcony. The cabin was a little larger then regular balcony cabin. Interesting view of the wake while sailing. Not a good spot to see anything in port. A little walk from everything, but never heard anyone walking or running past.
