Good points - The ship is fairly new and well appointed. - The service staff are very friendly and try very hard. - Food quality is good. The bad points - Organisation on the ship is sub standard. - The Lido kept some really strange hours - for example closing for diner at 8:30 pm which one would expect is peak time Really bad points - For the first half of the cruise ...

I loved the staff, the service and honestly the maintenance of the ship is overall very good. I would give them 4.5 to 5 stars in most cases. The ship however is old from the perspective of activities and value. Activities are very limited compared to other vessels both in terms of physical offerings such as recreational opportunities but also in terms of creativity. Other ships have mini ...

I have cruised HA 15 times. Love the line. We took this cruise and extended another 14 days to travel to Egypt, Turkey, Greece etc. so we were on the ship a total of 25 days. HA has always attracted an older crowd and the ship is usually fairly full. We noticed the following during our 25 days: (1) Poor officer interaction with passengers (2) poorly trained Lido floor wait staff (3) lack of ...

This was our first time on HAL; our cruising has otherwise been on Norwegian and Royal C. We chose this ship for the itinerary--Norway fjords--and for the price, which included the drink package, internet, and credits for shore excursions and specialty dining, along with an $800 flight credit. We left from Copenhagen--if you haven't been, seriously consider spending 3-4 days there before ...

Embarkation was fairly quick and easy from Copenhagen. Itinerary was very nice and included excellent ports including the change to Gothenburg Sweden. Cabin service was excellent for our aft view balcony. Food quality was very good and the Pinnacle Grill is outstanding. MDR food was very good. I am still baffled at how cruise lines continue to create such poorly designed lido dining ...

Buckle in, this is a long one.  I'll also be posting it to the cruise reviews section. BACKGROUND This is coming from the perspective of a couple in their sixties who used to cruise quite a bit (Royal Caribbean, Princess, even 1 Carnival cruise (ugh), up until we caught norovirus during a Princess cruise which included Egypt back in 2011 and swore we would never cruise again. This is a ...

We sailed the 14-day Best of Norway itinerary that left July 26 out of Copenhagen and overall we really enjoyed it. The itinerary was terrific and priced very competitively compared to other cruises taking place this summer. Traveling was myself, my husband (both in our 50s) and our 11-year-old daughter. Our sailing was also being sold as two 7-day cruise offerings. It didn't occur to us ...

We were really looking forward to this cruise. Great itinerary with Copenhagen, Norway, Iceland and Scotland. Despite a decent off ship experience we did not enjoy the ship - Recent poor reviews are accurate. It is consistently inconsistent and not at the standard of competitors. Feels like they are trying to please everyone and ultimately pleasing no one. - ship felt dreary and dowdy. Does ...
