We have taken more than a dozen HAL cruises, and this 4 night pre-Christmas Bahamas trip was attractively priced.
The new ship is gorgeous, and has great music and entertainment options. The cabins are fresh and new, with big flat TVs and excellent showers (no tub in our room - which was good for us, but may be an issue for older travelers or families).
The mid-ships music venues were outstanding. BB King has a feature spot and were great, and the Rock and Roll venue was suitably loud. But the real stars were Nate and Deb on the dueling pianos. WOW! This husband wife team have energy and chemistry that is truly world class and should not be missed.
Brand new ship, and the cabin was lovely, very quiet with no noise from neighbors or outside.
Shower was a pleasure, and the flat TV had a good selection of channels.
