This was our 5th HAL cruise and we had a great time. Yes, HAL has some growing pains with their new ship, especially when it comes to dealing with a much larger group of passengers.

The ship: No complaints. Every ship is different and we always fine the good in each one. However, I do wish they would put a directional arrow sign on the promenade so folks will know which way to walk when doing laps. The main reason is that the promenade narrows to about 6 foot wide in some places around the bow and stern and you would have to stop if you met someone walking in the other direction. Quite annoying I must say since directional signs strategically placed would solve the issue. (New ship growing pain. My hope is they're currently on order and will be put into service once they arrive).

Our room: We upgraded our back-of-the-boat vista suite to a corner-of-the-boat Neptune suite and were quite pleased. There, of course, was plenty of room and having fresh fruit to eat throughout the cruise was great. However, the biggest perk was being able to eat breakfast in the Pinnacle restaurant every morning and avoid the crowds up on the Lido deck. Talk about being spoiled!! In addition having access to the Neptune Lounge concierge service when we had an issue with anything was also a big plus!! However, was it worth the upgrade cost, even if it was 50% off from the original price. Probably not, but sometimes it's just fun to spoil yourself if you can afford it.
