Being our first cruise I must say we are already packed for our next! The golf guys decided that after all our selfish golf trips it was time to take the girls someplace nice! What will we do for seven days on a ship with no golf? Everything the answer? Yes we all had a ball! 8 of us flew to Fla and from airport to ship was a breeze. Boarding was quicker than walking down the yacht club dock to my own boat, it was that easy! These people are amazing with smiles and a helpful attitude! It was almost a Disney World place where everyone was happy and polite! Ship was wonderful and the crew beyond belief with assistance and could not have been friendlier ! We were lucky with four connecting rooms with balconies and the amazing steward opened the barriers and we had an ocean front night club of our own! I have a stressful job and this is really the first time I did nothing but relax! HAL helped with the tremendous Spa I highly suggest to all! Heaven on earth! Pools ok but who needs them when you can go to the spa! We are outgoing people and we made so many friends that People thought that we must be somebody! Everyone knew us and the crew always said hi using your first name! Hal treats you as a family member! Food outstanding at all venues but the Tamarind and Pinnacle were special! Rembrant was to FU FU for me and it took way to long for dinner! All lounges were outstanding and the Singing Samoan was the best ! He was wonderful just entertaining everybody! Joel needs help! and when Jason the cruise director helps him its a train wreck! These guys were wonderful!!!! All ports were fun and my goal was to relax!!! I did it! Joel had me so fired up after his first Elton John show that I being a muscian on a cruise without my guitar forced me to buy another 12 string in Puerto Rico! We played all night, every night somewhere on the ship! Thanks HAL for giving me the rest I needed! See you all soon! Hal has become my new favorite vacation home! Thanks all to Joel, Jason, Marcus and the rest for a trip of a life time! The captain was even nice enough to rescue a couple of guys lost at sea!
