Additional details
I have been reading the reviews concerning this ship, and I want to put some of my comments down.
This was the fourth cruise for my two sisters and me, and it was our second with HAL Our ages are 82, 78, and 66. I'm the youngster!! I'll have to admit that we loved it. Yes, the ship needs paint and some other repairs (one of the forward elevators wasn't ever fixed)as mentioned by other reviewers, but the cruise was wonderful. In fact, we like HAL and enjoye ourselves so much that we booked our next cruise while we were onboard. We'll be doing the Panama Canal cruise departing San Diego next April 15th. It's on the Statendam, so I've been reading reviews about that ship and sincerely hope they have solved all the problems it seems to have!!
This cruise was very special for us, because our cousin, her husband, (in their 60's) his mother (91), their daughter and her husband (in their 30's) and their son (aged 3) joined us. They live in California, and we're from Texas
Cabin Review
Neptune Deluxe Verandah Suite
Large sitting area, large separate dressing room with a lavatory, large, roomy bathroom with whirlpool tub/shower combo,ample closet space with three in the dressing room and one in the entry hall, quiet even though it was right by the mid-ship elevators, large veranda, a safe to lock valuables in, but a/c was a little "iffy" at times
