Background Information
I must start with a disclaimer. I am not a paid spokesperson for HAL, though this review may give one that impression. This was our 16th cruise with most on either Celebrity or RCCL. We are a 50+ couple. One of the main reasons we chose this cruise was the New York departure port. We really liked the idea of not having to deal with flights. This was our fourth cruise out of NYC/Bayonne. We had a very active CC role call.
