Additional details
Took advantage of the opportunity to do the 4 repositioning (Vancouver to Victoria to San Diego)+ 14 days Hawai'i (from and to San Diego).
Group of passengers on the 4 day cruise was very different from the usual HAL niche: several children and babies and a much younger crowd. This leg of the trip was not a typical HAL cruise as the activities were very different. It was still an enjoyable cruise.
300 stayed on for the next leg and 1100 new passengers came on. Average age and passenger mix was more typical of most HAL cruises.
Cabin Review
Large Ocean-View Stateroom
Had cabin 2556; main deck. Has window, is large (190+ sq ft), 5 closets.
Saw 3374, 3220 and 3222: these are on lower promenade and are much smaller; they have a window. These being on lower promenade it can be noisy, especially when there is maintenance on that deck (which was the case) or when they move around furniture
Also saw 3208, inside room on lower promenade: this is huge, quiet (no neighbors) and has lots of storage space.
Full bath. Great staff. Well located: not too far from elevators, not too low in the ship. Quiet location.
No refrigerator: should be added at the refurbishing.
Wi fi signal was clear: didn't encounter any problems.
