We choose this cruise because we wanted to do 3 weeks & my husband is a jazz fan. Having sailed with other cruise lines we are able to compare, the cabins are average size as is the balcony, storage was an issue for me very limited hanging space/drawers our cabin steward Zen was great remembering our name from day one (very impressive) Food in the dining room was great we did anytime dining which suited us, the food in the buffet was poor & never have i seen where the buffet closes for breakfast at 10:30!!!! when we queried this we were told they are open from 6:00 who wants to get up at 6 while on holiday!!!! this was the same for lunch & diner so if you dont mind clock watching while on holiday then this wont be an issue for you!!! We ate in The Pinnacle Grill but we found the food in the restaurant to be better. Entertainment was very repetitive i know you could say well it was 3 weeks but we found this on the first week BB Kings jazz was the only place to have a dance. On our last week there was a Polka group on & several areas would be reserved for them as a private party .... Not impressed by this we should of been pre warned prior to booking, on our last day we turfed off the back deck for this group to have a party this was our last chance of sunshine before flying home the next day that was disgraceful HAL needs to address this issue for future cruises.There is a drinks package which you can purchase once on board. The crew were amazing in every department nothing was too much trouble they made it for us. One of our ports of call was Half Moon Cay fantastic beach, Fort Lauderdale we were here 3 times & on the second one we did a trip from the ship to the Everglades this was an excellent trip, we also did the Land & Sea trip at the end to save us having to sitfor hours in airport again this was very good. Disembarkation is very long winded & took about 1 hour to get out you even had to do this if you were stating on another week!

Port Reviews

Grand Turk

This is island is all about the beach which very good but sadly we had awful weather & so we could not go on the beach

St. Thomas

We have been here before & decided to go Megans bay not that impressed if you want a good beach go to Secret harbour its much better

San Juan

Fantastic port so much to see there is a tram that you can get on to take you up to The Castle if walking is a problem

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

A very expensive island

Half Moon Cay

Fantastic beach, BBQ supplied by HAL & bars & can use your cruise card here so no cash

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata)

We have been here before & we did take a taxi into Puerto Plata i would reccommend if want to explore take a tour from the ship it is safer!

Key West

We did the hop on hop off bus & it is best to buy your ticket at the cruise terminal it is cheaper & it is very imformative
