After our last HAL cruise we decided to give them a break to see if they get back to the levels of service and cruising we had enjoyed from them in the past. Well, we are pleased to report that they have made a successful move in the the right direction.
Some background...we're experienced cruisers. I am retired and my wife is Graduate Student. We cruise, on average twice a year. We have cruised the entire North America/Central America West Coast, the Panama, The Caribbean, and the East Coast of South America as far south as the Amazon River, and up the Amazon River 1000 kms to Manaus. Our next cruise will be to Europe.
For this most recent cruise we arrived in San Diego a day early and stayed at the the Hampton Inn down town near the cruise pier. We always try to stay in Hampton Inns where ever we travel in the US because we have found them to be extremely consist in quality, comfort, cleanliness, and service. This is the second time we have stayed in this particular Hampton in San Diego, and it did not disappoint.
Great roomy cabin. Well appointed. Great deck...lots of room and well furnished.Nice large bathroom with double sinks, full size jacuzzi tub and separate shower. Lots for closet and drawer space.
