We love sailing with HAL, they treat us so well, for seven days, we are treated so well, they just can';t be beat. It's sophistication, class and relaxation. If you want partying an pizazz, and pool parties, this isn't it. I f you wand to feel like royalty without feeling like you don't fit in, such as on Cunard or such, then this is it. Yet in the evening most everyone still dresses up, (respecting) and the entertainment is so good, then it winds down late er on so people can sleep. The food is decent, in the main dining room, is done very well. Keep in mind the buffett on lido deck is open at specified hours, if your'e not aware of this you would be frustrated, recently they've stepped up the variety there. Enjoy!

They pride themselves on "a signature of excellence", the crew is what makes the cruise, they are what brings us back again and again.

Shore excursions, they do a very nice job of intimacy and you feel like they did this just for you.
