Additional details
We are 37 and 38 years old and have been on 22 cruises so far. We cruise with Celebrity, Azamara, Oceania and Royal Caribbean. This was our 3rd cruise with HAL and will be our last one. We are easy and always treat people with respect.
Embarkation:
I don't know if it's HALs 'fault' but this is the 3rd embarkation with the HAL were it took almost 1,5-2 hours to check in. Reason: Too few check in counters staffed.
Cabin Review
Signature Superior Verandah Suite
This wheel chair accessible suite is not wheel chair friendly. We are not disabled but we can't imagine how people in a wheel chair can enter the balcony, it's too difficult. The suite was not clean and some stuff didn't work.
The beds were fine. You can't use the shower without making a mess. So we only used the shower in the bathtub. No big problem, just a design error.
I would never pay the extra money for a Signature Suite. It's just a slightly bigger Verandah cabin, nothing more, nothing less.
Port Reviews
Toulon
The ports are easy to explore on your own. The ship docks/tenders in walking distance of the city centers (we are still 'young') .
Rent a car and enjoy the beautiful regions yourself. The ports are the highlight of the cruise.
