New ship - good price. Never travelled on hal before. Disappointment vs celebity/royal caribbean. Spaces on ship do not function well. Smoke from gamblers in casino invades shops. Entertainment very poor. Shows movies on big screen in spa area. Clients very old. No energy from cruise directors to create parties or excitement. No warmth or warm welcomes. Welcomes. no entertainment on upper decks other than photos on large screen. Food good high quality. Service good.
Had bad experience in the pinnacle. I would not recommend it. I would recommend the dutch cafe. Excellent quiche and dutch apple pie. Fast food very popular (dive in and new york pizza) on this cruise. Other than the main dining room there were no spaces that attracted me. Serice in dining room takes forever without reason. Indian food creative. Other food standard but same things repeated over and over in thirteen days and very little creativity. Lido food more varied but sometimes too spicy and very salty.
Nice looking cabin. Very narrow. Half bath has sewage/mold smell and is not useful. No outlet for woman in bathrooms. No toilet. No storage. Tub is child sized. This was a guaranty. It is better to be on high deck.
I live near fort lauderdale.
Nice port. They have added a shopping mall since i was there last time.
I like malaga. Lots to see and do. I have been there many times. Hal handles port stops very well.
I debarked in romes and stayed at the grand hotel minerve.
