HAL's flagship suppose to be stunning, but I agree with previous reviews which mentioned "...more of the Carnival Ship's ambiance rather than a true HAL".

Cabin Review

Verandah Stateroom

Cabin layout was a king bed, and a sofa (which folds out to a bed). Interior was very small, had barely any space to walk around once the sofa bed was folded out.

Decors are minimal and functional rather than luxurious. Corner wine cabinet waste too much space.

Storage adequate for 3 of us. A safe deposit box similar to previous cruises.

Bathroom consist of wash hand basin, toilet and shower cubicle. All very clean. Shower cubicle surprisingly large, hot/cold water pressure were powerful.

Unfortunately it was a connecting cabin and noise travel through connecting door. We could hear most of the loud Chinese neighbour's conversations.

External verandah space consist of 2 deck chairs and a small stool. Overall adequate, but we hardly enjoyed it, as Icelandic and Norwegian temperatures were windy and cold. Downward views obstructed by lifeboats, but views above horizon unobstructed.
