This was my 3rd HAL cruise and I noticed a huge upgrade in the food offerings. The salad bar is a welcome addition to the Lido Deck. The coffee was improved too - I think that was due to the creamer (rather than milk) being offered. The staff is delightful and so hardworking. I didn’t participate in many activities but enjoyed some of the entertainment on board. I adored the day at Half Moon Cay. We rented a clam shell (and were able to shove a 3rd lounge chair inside!) and 3 float mats. (One mat would have been sufficient in retrospect) The beach is perfection. I spent at least 1/2 the day in the water. I could have stayed there forever! I enjoyed Turks & Caicos - we explored the island on our own and enjoyed ourselves. I wish we’d done the trolley in Key West. I think we would have seen a lot more if we had. We enjoyed Key West and definitely want to go back.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Ocean-View Verandah Stateroom

Cabin VE

Door between patios did not close or lock. It banged in the wind. No outside porch light. Twice we had no hot water in the shower. A/C wasn’t working at full capacity-I had to buy a fan at one of our ports. Plus side - beds were comfortable and cabin steward kept the room in great shape. Towels were replaced twice a day (as needed) and the folded towel animals were cute. Loved the googly eyes
