We like HA line as the other guests seem to be somewhat in our age group (over 65). We chose this cruise because it docked at ports we hadn't visited before and it was a good get away from the cold. We booked a Neptune suite which was very nice and didn't disappoint. We were disappointed that the activities on board appeared to be somewhat minimal. Also, there were no enrichment programs like we'd come to expect on HAL-I hope that isn't changing fleet wide. There was one program called "Pirates of the Caribbean" which was a disappointment in content and speaker. The cruise director gave talks about ports but those were disappointing as well.

Service, entertainment and food was very good. Library could use more books.

Lots of people coughing even when we came onboard and of course that spreads quite rapidly. Wish people would stay home if they're sick!

Cabin Review

Deluxe Verandah Suite

Cabin was clean with great service. Wish they'd do away with the leather/plastic couches-look really outdated. Had a very nice verandah.
