We chose this cruise as I had previously used HA for Med cruises and really enjoyed the experience, rated it as the best cruise line I had been on
This time was quite different and although the staff are still fantastic the changes to the ship made it impossible to find a quiet place to sit and read or talk
The promenade deck was reduced to a very small area with no room for loungers in the shade where you could have a quiet rest looking at the sea and the lifeboats hung in the way so not much view
We asked to change from interior to balcony and pay extra six weeks before cruise but were told none available yet on the forum people were getting upgraded to balconies right up till 8 hours before cruise due to drop in price yet we paid full price months before and had no compensation so we wondered if it was just for Americans
Our cabin was like a small cave and we did not enjoy it although our wonderful steward kept it spotless
