Additional details
Stateroom staff: best we have ever had, thank you to Rohman & Roni-they anticipated our needs and the first day we asked for something specific to be done every day and they never forgot. Great job! They always kept our fruit bowl stocked and ice in our cabin which was appreciated without asking. We also always had fresh flowers in our cabin that they replaced if they were dying.
Food: We have never had a bad meal on HAL and love their food and presentation. We ate at all venues and enjoyed them all. Our preference is the main dining room and have never had a bad meal there. There was also an outdoor aft BBQ which was fantastic. I was not eager to do this but we did and they had salmon, ribs, pork, chicken, prawns and more. The prawns were my favorite. The Dive-in also has improved.
Main Dining room: We had anytime dining. Seems the staffing level has diminished which puts much more pressure on the staff and they barely have time to breath let alone chat to guests which is a shame. We dined here for lunch a couple of times and for dinners often.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Verandah Suite
We loved our Neptune suite especially for this longer cruise. The use of the Neptune lounge for snacks or juice and just visiting with others was enjoyable. The use of the Pinnacle for breakfast is great. We normally book a Signature suite but took an upsell to this one and it was well worth it as we were celebrating an anniversary. We used the unlimited laundry lots and I am amazed how quickly they get it back. You can get it folded or on hangers and we had no issues with anything-just impressed. There was an electrical outlet close to the bed which enabled me to use my CPAP machine without the extension cord.
